    My MIL has used Merle Normal exclusively and daily since before 1960. She's now 91. Her skin is unbelievably beautiful. She jokes she should have used it on her arms too! Did I listen? No! Sorry now, but it's too late!

    Daily care probably has a lot to do with it too. I wash my face with soap and water - it's clean, but it does nothing to nurture the skin.

    I use a tiny bit of Vaseline..and then I use Laura Mercier which is pricy but I love it. My 93 year old mother has the best skin and she taught me to use the little bit of vaseline especially around my eyes at night. I don't know if it is just genes or the vaseline but I get complements on my skin pretty often.

    The only thing I've used to remove eye makup for yrs (I'm 57) is Pond's "Cold Cream". I've been told I don't look my age. Hardly any creases around my eyes. I think you could use a store brand also.

    Great and it has been 30 years or more since she was given the advice. Honestly, I think genes and life style determines how one ages.

    we may have even chatted about this.
    Not far, about 30 min. drive.


    Really, the three main things you can do to avoid wrinkles are

    Don't smoke.
    Stay out of the sun.
    Don't gain/lose a lot of weight.

    Been using "Oil Of Olay" for years, no small wrinkles, maybe a little sagging though. Olay doesn't make my makeup look blotchy or smeared.

    I'd like to know where to get the best Coconut oil for my face. Is it good for arms??? I mean does it help tighten the skin?

    I have tried expensive creams and found that Aveeno moisturizing does just as good of job as those pricey ones.

I would love to find a cream, needs to be moisturizing, with sunscreen that felt good on the skin.

    So my question, what do you like, works for you? What do you hate? How much do you spend on your products? Truthfully, I hate to even spend the $20 for Olay products.
    I love Revlon Eterna 27, both the moisturizing night cream and the all day cream. Walgreens used to carry it, but now I order it online from drugstore.com.

    Except for that, you can find me at the Clinique counter durng the bonus sales. froggyintexas
