I knew she would tell me the truth, so before our session got started I asked what she thought about the condition of my skin.
"Your face looks good...not too much sun damage and it looks like you're taking good care of it." For a very brief moment, I felt relieved. Maybe all of this aging stuff was in my head.
"But, you could try a little Botox - just between your eyes and in your crow's feet. It will just make you look more...rested." Um, yeah, that might work. So, would sleeping more than five hours a night! But, anyhoo...
"And, maybe we could put a little Juvederm or Restylane in your laugh lines to just smooth them out a bit." So it turns out my skin is punishing me for laughing too much these past 39 years? Jeez.
Needless to say, I was bummed. But, also determined to do whatever I need to do to avoid these procedures for as long as I could.
Retinols seemed like a good first step, and Jordana provided me with a very thorough list of well-regarded OTC ones to try:
- Neutrogena healthy skin night cream
- Alpha hydrox retinol night resQ
- Roc multicorrection night treatment
- Philosophyeye believe
I decided to give Roc multicorrection night treatment a whirl. I will let you know how that goes!
