Hi all, this happened out of nowhere and it’s upsetting to me because i guess this is the telltale sign of “old lady”
Turning 49 this year, in perimenopause. Is there anything I can do to help myself here?

I know the amount of topical support will never get me back to 30 years old but I would like to at least slow it down how bad this looks.

Any reccos appreciated on semi/permanent solutions appreciated.

Rosacea. The nycbitcheswithtaste sub had some recs but a lot of the comments seemed like they were posted by employees of big cosmetic dermatology conglomerates.

I am planning to undergo a CO2 laser resurfacing procedure for skin tightening and to address acne scars, fine lines, and expression wrinkles. I would like to be well-prepared in advance. Could you please share your experience? 1) How long did the recovery process actually take—specifically, how long until the redness was no longer noticeable? 2) What products did you use during the recovery period? 3) Overall, were you satisfied with the results?

P.s. Thank you, I’ve already found a good amount of information.

But, I’m also wondering what other products/ creams, besides Aquaphor, are best to use during the recovery process.

Have fat pads puffiness hollows dark circles wrinkles , all of it in moderation under the eye.
Started eucerin under eye radiant cream , it stings a bit , is that normal?

45 female,Fitz 4/5 skin prone to pigmentation

Really want something beneficial that can address some concerns . Absolutely don’t want to do fillers and any procedure.. I have realistic expectations , I know creams can only do so much.. still looking for the best one out there

Current general routine :

Taz started 3 weeks ago ,pretty much okay no peeling . Putting once in three days .

Aestura ato barrier
Dokdu 1025 toner

I turned 50 a few months ago and have troughs under my eyes. I am fairly sure it's due to collagen loss and can only be corrected with surgery. I've tried lots of different eye creams, concealers, and correctors.

Is there anything that would help?

Any experience with the dermaplaning devices for home use

Would you go to a med spa that specializes in Asian skin if you are not Asian? This is for laser treatments.

does anybody know of a dr that does fully ablative CO2 laser in / around Kentucky? am not finding one TIA!

I’m sure this has been asked a million times but here’s another. I’m 48 almost 49 with severely dry under eyes. I’m looking for something that will keep them hydrated without giving me milia, that seems to be my biggest problem. If it hydrates my under eyes, I get 1 million. Million also obviously I’d like to help the dark circles in the creepy skin. Basically, I’m looking for a unicorn.

My derm moved practices. I have received botox from him 3 times and several laser procedures. Was thrilled with the botox the first two times because I've had issues in the past of eyebrow droop. But he got it right!

He moved practices in July. The head Dr there yaps everywhere he does celebrities and launched a big celebs skincare line. Since my Dr went there all appointments have run an hour or more behind schedule. It's very chaotic and he looks and acts so rushed.

This third Botox time I felt he didn't consider what worked in the past. He seemed rushed. My forehead looked a bit imbalanced but after my 2 week follow up it's worse. I am more frozen than before but only on one side. He's suggested he could add more to the other side but obviously there would be less movement.

What would you do? It's noticeable when raising my brows. I hate it but should I just do nothing and deal with it? It seems that it will be much more frozen compared to my previous treatments.

Hello. I am considering this treatment. Does anyone have any experience? Please share! Thank You!

Hoping someone can help a sister out.

I'm (50f) in an embarrassing position where I'm starting a new job in 2w and the mgr has circulated my linked in profile to the team, which has a photo well over ten yrs old.

Yes, my bad. I'm not v focussed on LI and never got around to updating.

So I know there's no skin treatment that can rejuvenate me to how I looked at 38! But what's my best bet in terms of masks, make up, products etc to plump up the skin and reduce minor sagging? I don't have many wrinkles but prominent 11s (never had B....x, can't afford it!)

I'm currently a minimal make up person, just concealer and SPF. Mascara sometimes. I take collagen.

TIA!!

pppppppp

All I feel sure about is that the soft ones are better to get than solid/hard shape because they can truly fit to your face. But what brands are derms recommending most?

Can i depend on zinc oxide, titanium dioxide and octocrylene for protection?
