Hi Leni,
I'd toss the old CP products. You might like reading the DIY threads on C serums and save yourself a bundle. I read them for a long time and finally in January got to it and have made some wonderful product.
I'd also suggest starting with a retinol or retin a product. you can save some there as well if you order from India.

I have a prolight (similar to AALS I guess) and Love it. The idea is the same as the AALS but a professional model thus more powerful the specs say, but there has been awesome results here with AALS so good going.... Kassy has had remarkable results.

Welcome and hope you find your way to better skin! I have and I'm so grateful to my buds here.

Thanks all.

Kassy, why do you recommend dropping the Retinol? I've been using it because Retin A is too strong for my skin. Should I just discontinue it for the twelve week period?

Also, do you or anyone else sell some of the DIY serums that you give recipes for, or is this not allowed?

Thanks.
Leni

It's only my humble opinion mind you, but Retin-A is the real deal, and you should do whatever you can to use it.. Even if it means starting with the lowest strength, and buffering it, it is still far superior to 'retinol' in any strength..

I must get 100 PM's a month, asking if I will sell my recipe's *already made*, and the answer is no.. 1st of all it is against forum rules, and 2nd of all I am not a cosmetic chemist + 3rd of all it is only a hobby for me. I enjoy researching actives, experimenting in my kitchen, and then sharing the recipe's that improve my skin, or work well for family + friends I have given creams or serums to.

There are many great suggestions on this thread. I take meticulous care of my skin and have for many years. I make my own creams and do my own facial exercises and use sunscreen, retin-a, niacinamide, etc. But in my opinion, it's more than just the face, it's the whole body.

When you look at someone it's how they walk and hold themselves that gives their age away. It's their posture as viewed from the side especially. Look to see whether the ears are in line with the shoulders and the shoulders are in line with the hips. The neck shouldn't jut forward.

One of the most important things is to walk with a purpose! Old people tend to walk sunken down in a collapsed fashion. If I could recommend one thing to reverse the signs of aging I would say fantastic posture will take years off your looks. Walk as if you know where your going (even if you don't!) and pull up out of your hips, straighten yourself up. It uses more calories as well. You'll look years younger.

I'll just shut up now.
