It's my matifying hydration cream. Oh and the cleansing cream and the exfoliating cream and even another one for when huge pimples pop up. Everything from the pharmacy, even my foundation is for only skin and also from the pharmacy. Like I said, I spend tons of money there, while my friends don't have acne anymore and can keep their money for concerts But there's times of the month that nothing works and my skin is worst now than in my teenage years. I started taking the pill at a very young age, but last year I had to stop it cause my legs felt very heavy and I had morning sickness on the first days of the pill, so the doctor thought it was from it and made me stop taking it. And it was, cause I stopped feeling that. But my face skin, geez, it went downhill since that and it doesn't help that I'm lazy with my exfoliating cream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I have oily skin too and I had acne, and I guess that has relatively saved me from wrinkling, although I don't do more than the very basics for skin care (washing, a daily cream and peel occasionally). Menopause is scaring the hell out of me. It's been starting slowly and I don't want to think of what is ahead :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of facial lines and some gray hair don't define me. Step 1 of the cartoon above is basically my whole routine, lol, with Step 5 added as needed, especially in the winter. Devoting hours of time per week to messing about with skin, hair, and nail routines seems like overkill, and I get no enjoyment out of it and won't do it.

Sex drive at 52 is not quite the same as sex drive at 22! But menopause didn't cause a significant drop-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend told me that it's normally the same time as your mom, don't know how true though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplestargirl Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 This thread went from talking about Charles Manson to birth control within a 24 hour span. That's awesome. I'd also like to point out that the gender icon has returned. And in regards to birth control, I did Depo Provera and I gained a lot of weight and it fucked with my hormones. Never again. If I go back on birth control, I want to do Paragard. It's non-hormonal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have the hormone problem with that time of the months, my hair and skin becomes even more oily Shit, that's the reason why I stopped the pill too! I think it has given me a bad circulation problem and it took me years to get it out of my system. I think its still around somehow But my skin has not suffered because of the lack of it. Exfoliating cream dont you have to use it only once a week? You shouldnt be lazy if that's the interval 1 hour ago, Blackstar said: Menopause is scaring the hell out of me.

I'm clean and presentable (and blessed with good genes). The cultural requirements to be considered 'stylish' are fascinating. I don't devote hours to the skin care routine. Maximum 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the night. My nails I keep them clean and short and that's all. Hardly ever paint them but I do put on cream because Im always touching water. None of this is about being 'stylish'. I consider it part of taking care of your health, skin is an organ just like your liver or your heart. People tend to take it for granted.
