Seeing Improvements
I have to say that I’m very pleased so far with the results I’m seeing in the mirror. I’ve only been using the Murad Resurgence Products
for a few days now, but I really do notice a difference in the way my skin looks. I can’t say it’s perfect yet but at least I have hope.

The Main Cause of Aging
All those days I spent getting a tan are coming back to haunt me! My skin seems so much drier now than when I was young. I use lots of creams and moisturizers from local stores but none of them seem to help in the long run. I wish I’d know how bad the sun was for my skin then.

Aging Questions
Here’s what I’ve been thinking about when I look in the mirror: how old do I really look? When people see me on the street, can they tell how old I really am? Do they think I’m even older? What an awful thought? Thankfully, the products I’m using are starting to work.

On the Topic of Botox

Pondering Jellyfish Poison
As I’ve been getting older, I’ve stopped wondering why so many women turn to cosmetic surgery and started wondering if I’ve got enough money saved up. But I’m not sure that having needles poked into my face injecting jellyfish poison into my facial muscles is the answer. Am I too vain? Should I just go old gracefully?

Ethnicity & Aging: Black Skin II
What to do: To smooth the skin, wash twice a day with a skin cleanser containing 5% glycolic acid, and once a week, try a glycolic acid peel for deeper exfoliation. For dark growths, see a dermatologist to have them removed using an electric current.

Ethnicity & Aging: Black Skin
Rough skin, uneven tone, including raised, pigmented growths called dermatosis papulosa nigra are all common skin ailments for those with dark skin tones.
Avoid mechanical exfoliants, irritating skincare ingredients such as alcohol, propylene glycol and lanolin, Intense Pulsed light (IPL) treatments, and abrasive lasers- all of which can cause light and dark spots.

Sun Protection + Anti-Aging
Try NIA 24 Sun Damage Prevention 100% Mineral Sunscreen with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to block harmful rays, and the latest super skin care ingredient niacin.
