As I mentioned in my last post, in addition to a fairly strict daily regimen, a facial 1-2 times a year, I really have not done anything extraordinary to my skin. My water intake is “streaky”. I love sugar and caffeine. I HAVE watched my sun exposure and this has probably made the biggest difference.
After hitting a new decade in August, I wanted to get Deb’s recommendation for me in the next years. I think it is fair to say that when you hit your Forties and Fifties, you will see changes in your skin. If you haven’t already–it’s coming!
My last blog post was VERY general in some recommendations for each age group. As you can imagine, there is quite a variance in women even within one decade. It is really key to talk to a professional to provide individual advice.
For myself, Deb noticed a difference in the aging process between my face and neck/decollete. The reasoning is simple: I have not been as careful in the sun with that area. I would also like to add that women do not moisturize this area like the face–I’m guilty of that as well.
She recommended a peel. I had never tried this process.
First, Deborah tried some different productson an area of my skin to test any sensitivity. Next, I was given some trial size products to use on my face a week before the peel. This simply took the place of my usual routine.
Since we just decided to do my neck/decollete, the process was very fast. I was told I could expect some peeling but instead I just was a little sensitive the next few days. It was a bit itchy, but no visible redness, rash or any other discomfort.
My next step is microdermabrasion and I’ll report back on that as well. I feel very fortunate to have met Deb. Already I have learned a great deal.
I really love it when this blog becomes more interactive. For that to happen I need to hear from you! Make a comment and ask some questions. With Deb’s help, we’ll be glad to answer them.
