skinrg,

Thank you so much. I needed that tonight.
I have been working really hard on my appearance for the past year. After losing 20 pounds my face sagged so bad. I searched the internet for antiaging products. Happen to buy one that made my skin look like a snake (dry and wrinkled).

This is what I finally found that worked for me:

-Janson-Beckett cleanser/toner. Right now I am out of it and using Neutrogena's
Gentle Cleanser (hope Ian doesn't read this ) Anxious

-Okusil (approximately one tiny drop around the eye bone only/over Prep and AlphaDermaCE ).
-Janson-Becketts Skin Prep (day and night under AphaDermaCE)
-VitC Serum. Had been using CellularSkinRX, now I am using JB's C&C
-AlphaDerma CE (both day and night over Prep)
-JB's Radiance Exfoliant 2x a week
-JB's Hyloronic Acid Ampules. One night a week. I use one ampule on my whole face and neck after cleansing. When I use ampules I do not put ADCE and Prep on my face that evening.In the morning my fine lines are plumped right. The ampules last me 10 to 12 weeks.
-JB's Eyelid Ampules at bedtime (keep my lids firm). I probably will never have to buy them again. They last so darn long. Think JB should sell these in single ampules. Probably in trouble again. Silenced

-Winter months I need a moisturizer. I use anything that is appealing to me (over AlphaDerma). Switch around with moisturizers.
-Neutrogena's Pore Refining toner on my nose and chin (trying to keep those pores tight)

I drink 64 oz. of water a day and try to eat right. Everyday I do a little Yoga and Meditate. Somehow Yoga/Meditation relieves my stress (which shows on my face). My aerotic activity is limited due to a weak (past injury) ankle. I get my blood ciruculating with passive aerobic exercise (CHI Exerciser).

About three months ago I bought Facial Flex. This is a little gismo you put in your mouth and flex (cheap). Nice and easy as I can use it while typing to you right now Laughing

, doing housework or driving. The face flex has made a difference in the jaw contour. I only use it two minutes twice a day. Recently I took a course on Accupressure. We have so many points on our face. Sometimes when I lie down I just massage these points. This not only releaves tension, it is good for the circulations in your face.

For makeup I use Lauren Hutton Face Disc. I don't like foundations so I just take it easy with the makeup as I think a mature woman looks better with less.

You do know I am a sales rep. for Janson-Beckett....don't you Shock

. I started working for them 4 months after using their product. Ian has spent many hours helping me get my skin in shape. I will always be grateful.

Product depends on your needs and skin type: Mine is VERY mature, combo, sensitive, clear complextion. My goal was to restore the firmness to my face and neck.

Again, thank you so much for being so kind.

Is there any issues with Cloasma(pigments because of hormones) and the use of the ingredients (acids etc) in AlpheDerma products?

AlphaDerma is for any age as a preventative.My daughter uses AlphaDerma, Skin Prep and Okusil at 37. Everything in AlphaDerma is good for your skin. Because of the ingredients with firming qualities I jumped all over that. Laughing

I am sixty. It sounds like you mother has dehydrated skin. Perhaps has exposed herself to the elements over the years. Janson-Beckett products are certainly not a like a surgical facelift. Surely, you mother would see great improvement in her overall appearance. Argireline in AlphaDerma relaxes fine lines and wrinkles.

Sorry if I gave the impression it just was for mature skin. There is a lot of reading on Janson-Beckett website. EDS also can give you information about each product.

Absolutely not. I never had an issue with pigmentation problem myself. The C in AlphaDerma is wonderful for this issue. Of course the C&C has been tested and know to lighten and brighten the skin. I mentioned my daughter in the previous post. She has had hugh issues with pigmentation problems. She can't go in the sun without a 30SPF on her face. AlphaDerma has worked out very well for her. On it's own it has an SPF of 15.

Hi Winnie:

I currently use Relax-A-Line for my forehead, but would like to use a line relaxer under my eyes and was hoping to find something in a cream/lotion texture for that area. Is the Alphaderma (with Argireline) in a cream/lotion form? Thanks!

free skin care · Wed May 25, 2005 5:39 am

she has deep lines and wrikles... and i gobbler .(so do i) so there is something to at least help them a little ? she use to look like liz taylor in her day. now. yuck! looks to me like floppy skin. she was going to pay 3,000.00 to have laser or something done and then three days before she had to get an angiplasty thing done.. and she wants her faceback. even just to smooth somethings out. i gave her AHA but i dont think that will help. i dont know much on these things..im just starting my own crap with renova. which i seem to like so far.i havent had any problems yet.. knock on wood. i just hate to see her like that...and i will look just like her if i dont start now. im 48 she is 67 Cool

thanks.

Funny you should mention that. Recently I was telling the President of Janson-Beckett how I like using AlphaDermaCE around my eyes. AlphaDermaCE is a very light cream consistency. If you wanted to continue using the Relaxaline you have you could pat AlphaDerma over it or use it on it's own. Personally, I like AlphaDermaCE over the Mineral Skin Prep. If a person likes more of a cream consistency AlphaDermaCE can be used in the place of Okusil. Okusil is great if you want to address the puffies and dark circles along with fine lines and wrinkles.
