Due to the water situation in this house, I don't look at my self when I wash. When I puck my eyebrows, I look at them, not anything else. I really don't see so much of the rest of me because I am so near sighted, (I'm like two and a half inches away from the mirror when I pluck). So I looked at myself at work and discovered that while I have been away from the mirrors, I have winkled up! I have crowfeet! I have bags under my eyes! When I smile, three winkles appear in each of my cheeks! I wasn't expecting this!
Why do you ask. . . Because nothing in my face moved when I smiled until I was 25. I didn't develop smile lines until I was in my forties. Yes, my skin has sagged, and my neck looks like someone took a super hot inch wide band and burned me along my crease line, but winkles! I thought it would take longer. . .
So I have bought a rentinol product from CVS, sun block body lotion from Eucerin, and a level 20 face foundation. Also started wearing lipstick and eyeshadow again. I stopped last summer when I started having non stop hot flashes.
The foundation is a success. It's not really seeable on me, but evens out my skin tone. Men in my age group are looking at me. I don't know. . . part of me wants to date again, but I just can't go through another addict.
I am trying to look at this like I'm hiring a employee, ( which is the mind set I think BF should discover). I want a good fit with my personality. Of course I have no idea of how to find this. But I'm pretty sure it involves writing a better mission statement on Plenty Of Fish.
