eye cream?

ok so i'm 30...and i should probably have some sort of skincare regimen...right? i never even wash my face at night to get the makeup off...i have sort of awesomely dry skin so breakouts are never a problem. but, i think an eye cream might be in order to prevent wrinkles. any one have on they like? my dermatologist suggested doing a retinol product first for like a month? and then go to Retin-A (I think the retinol preps you for full-blown retin-a).

i'm just sorta lost on all this.

Re: eye cream?

  • My issue is the dark circles and I'm only 25! I do get up at 5:30 for work though and I think that's where the circles come from.

    Sorry I don't have anything helpful for you!

  • ugh, i naturally have horrid dark circles. i do two kinds of concealer....i use Bobbi Brown and one is a concealer and the other is like yellow almost in color...and is called a corrector. in combination, they work great. my sister has dark circles too and she uses a super pricey concealer stick called Cle de Peau and it's like $80 but apparently lasts forever. works AWESOME...i think when i run out of my current stuff i might get some of the stick.

    Thanks! I bought new concealer  2 months ago that works for everything but the circles, I'll have to give one of the above a try because I'm sure it will only get worse when le bebe arrives!

  • you NEED to wash your face and moisturize EVERY night. do it. NOW. do you want to have train tracks on your forehead like me when you're 37?? you can't undo them so prevention is KEY. i use some sort of olay product, i forget the name. i use it all over my face and neck (you can get a face lift, but you can't get a neck lift). oh and put in on your chest too - i have wrinkles there because that's the one place almost everyone gets sunburned.

    do you moisturize in the morning? any time your skin gets wet you should moisturize because the water leaving your skin is extremely drying (your wonderfully dry skin is a curse! oily skin is so much better for aging). and you've had skin cancer so i don't have to tell you about SPF. also water, water, water.

    you're 30 so you think aging is a ways off and then it's there and you wish you had started sooner. please, i beg you, for me, start now.

    Me:39 Dx LPD, Fibroid, AMA and all that goes with that. H:37 Dx low motility and low morphology. TTC since 3/12. Clomid 8/12 and 9/12: BFN. 11/12 on a break for Myomectomy sched. 11/26. Resume TTC early 2013.

    Is this the good part about having acne at 29?
