Your skin looks great! Better than mine, and Im only 26! How old are you?

[junbug1029]

@mabobik Oh, no! That can't be true because I'm 56.

[mabobik]

@junbug1029 I did a lot tanning in high school :/ I have since quit , but it definitely gave me some sun damage and lines on my forehead. I am not sure where to start, but am interested in getting some kind of skin treatment. What would you recommend to even out my skin and reduce the sun damage?

[junbug1029]

@mabobik I would suggest getting a consult with an established esthetiician who will evaluate your skin and make recommendations for treatment. Possibilities could be microdermabrasin, chemical peels and perhaps laser treatments. I would suggest you start using products with retinols in them. I like and use the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Reducer line, the day cream, eye cream and night cream.

[junbug1029]

@junbug1029 They can cause irritation and redness until your skin adjusts, but they have created a big difference in my skin. The Neutrogena products run from $20-$25 each at my Walmart. Oil of Olay and ROC make good products, too. I just prefer the Neutrogena. A Vitamin C serum (antioxidant) at bedtime helps reduce the free radicals in the skin. I hope that helps! Please let me know what you decide to do. xoxo Joan

after the micromdermabrasion does your skin peel again??somone toll me that after micro ur skin still peeling and you cant use moisturizer for it??byt the way ur skin looks great!!

[junbug1029]

@darnell1409 I'm sorry it took me so long to answer! The skin peels once after theach treatment, and should peel less after each one in a series. I wore my usual SPF and makeup the next day. Thank you!

Dermabrasion is fantastic, after you do it at home. Use Dermaflage to fill in any indented scarring you have from acne scars, chicken pox, skin cancer, dog bites, etc...invented by a Hollywood special effects artist, this creates an amazing illusion of perfect skin!

I would like to ask..I'm 23, i don't have horrible problems with the skin, but my T-zone, always oily and i can't dispose of them( and some redness, sometimes pimples) with just mask and scrub....How do you think is it ok for me to use the NuBrilliance Microdermabrasion System?? thank you.

You look so great!!!
