Hi everyone. This is my girlfriend's profile but she let me use it in order to ask a question.
I am a male model and I have some minor issues with wrinkles under my eyes and on my forehead and I am wondering what the best products are for decreasing them, and also less expensive if possible????
Also, I have noticed some large pores on my cheeks that I would like to try and reduce. What do you recommend for that?
And last, I have noticed discoloration under my eyes, like a much lighter area then my cheeks. I would like to have the same color skin around my eyes as the rest of my face. Any suggestions?
Thanks again everyone ;o) |

First, let me say that your last problem is one most of us would kill for. A lighter area around the eyes, especially under, is more youthful looking. That also seems to indicate that the skin is thicker there so you're more likely experiencing lines rather than wrinkles. If your skin isn't thin under your eyes, those lines may be a sign of dehydration more than anything else.
The best thing that I've found to reduce the look of pores is to keep them clean with daily exfoliation with a microfiber cloth and a periodic pumpkin peel. Everyone has their favorite peel and mine is NCN Pumpkin Peel.
Light daily exfoliation plus firming actives and skin nutrition will help the lines on your forehead, too, by helping with cell turnover. If you can't see pores on your forehead, dehydration may be at play there as well. Try a really good Vitamin C Serum and maybe some DMAE Serum for lifting and firming. My favs in these catagories are Candessence Triple C Serum and DMAE Serum. Also, be aware of your expressions and try to reduce them. Frownies or scotch tape at night helps.
Just my thoughts.

| I agree with A, a good scrub, maybe a good mask, some C and a great face cream! Lightness under the eyes is a gift, leave that area alone, if it really drives you nuts a super light layer of a darker concealer (match your skintone) will hide that! |

Yeb , I second that. Find good Vitamin C serum. It'll help a lot. |

I got my hubby on clinique for men years ago but now he's really liking the custom products from Dream Products.
Denise has formulated some products with a ton of SPF and a light scent that she does for her husband too.
I noticed a huge difference in smoothness and skin tone after a couple of days.
You can send an email to Denise at dreamproducts@yahoo.com. I think she's traveling for a couple of weeks but you can talk to her and let her know what ingredients or concerns you have and she'll make suggestions. |
