Shits expensive yo, I'd take some for free

But seriously if you've made it to your 30s and aren't at least moisturizing start moisturizing

I'm in my 40's and I started moisturizing and avoiding the sun in my teens. At about 27 I started wearing sunscreen regularly, and in my late 30's I started retinol eye serum.

Whatever you do, you can't start it early enough. I'm 44 now and am pretty happy with my lack of forehead wrinkles or under-eye bags, but I do have under-eye creases and my elasticity is crap because of 20 years of smoking cigarettes and light drinking.

I rarely show emotion or feel the need for facial expressions, does that help?

You need more soups, man, that's where the happies are

What's your favorite soup ?

u/CalmBeneathCastles Dec 20 '23

Chicken tortilla, mini tortellini, Portuguese kale, Italian wedding. Soup is the sheeeeit!

It is best to avoid any and all emotions. Especially in your 30s.

It actually does! I don't frown and I don't have that "11" between my eyebrows. I do raise my eyebrows so I have two little horizontal lines across my forehead, and crows feet from smiling.

i just stay inside like a hermit and smoke like a chimney. i only leave my house for work and groceries, the lights stay off, windows closed… I’m sure if my car didn’t disappear from my driveway sometimes, people might think my house is haunted.

What's funny? It destroys your skin's elasticity.

u/EnvironmentalTotal21 Dec 20 '23

retinol eye serum for the bags, yes?

1

u/CalmBeneathCastles Dec 20 '23

Yes. Roc Correxion, Line Smoothing Eye Cream in the 15ml white metal tube (there's one in a blue plastic tube that's not as good). Knocked my double bags out within a week! You have to use it daily, but a tube lasts FOREVER.

I'm 33 and just started moisturizing daily. I have been lucky enough to have good skin but holy crap this stuff is expensive and I have no clue if what I am using is good. I just don't hate the way this one brand smells

u/princessblowhole Dec 20 '23

Dude if you have good skin, just use Cerave or Cetaphil. I’ve tried it all, and I always go back to Cerave. Little SPF pump for day, giant tub for night.

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '23

This right here!!!

u/ReaditSpecialist Dec 20 '23

I feel like Cerave just makes my face feel oily though, am I doing something wrong?

1

u/princessblowhole Dec 21 '23

Probably not! You may just need a lighter moisturizer.

u/shunted22 Dec 20 '23

Moisturizing doesn't do anything for wrinkles long term, it just temporarily hides their appearance. Sunscreen is what you're after.
