Nothing will age you faster than sitting out in the sun often. Washing her face daily would help prevent breakouts, but I don't know if it would help with premature aging. Moisture would, though. Problem is it's hard to moisturize when your face is going to wind up an oil slick one hour later. A mattifying moisturizer with sunscreen would be her best bet. A lot of people don't think you need it in fall and winter, but you do.
As for her smile lines, I don't think anything can help those because of the teeth. Even if they could somehow make more room in her mouth, the skin is stretched at this point. It would probably require surgery to tighten up.
I think her face wouldn't be an oil slick if she actually used the right moisturizer. I think her mistake, as was mine, is that she's going into her 30's but she's still using products for women 25 and under. She's sucking the moisture out of her face with oil-free acne products and her skin is producing twice the amount of oil because it's so dry. She needs to balance her skin. When I hit my 30's I had to revamp my skin care routine. Your skin starts to get dryer but you're still using drying products...it's a lose/lose situation. So I stopped using oil-free products and I no longer get oily. She needs to realize she's not a teenager anymore. She has adult skin now. Do some research 'Guru'.[/quote]
This is what I'm dealing with. I'll be 31 in March, but I noticed my once greasy face drying out when I hit my late 20s. I had to switch up my entire skincare routine. A good BHA (and a good chemical peel) would do wonders for Sam. She bitches about her skin yet does nothing to help it. Oh, except using products she KNOWS break her out. Like Mac powders and blushes.[/quote]
I'm dealing with the opposite. I was normal to dry in my 20's and once I turned 32 I turned extremely oily and it hasn't changed yet. It sucks.
If Jay was a personal trainer I want to see his certifications. I know someone who I thought was a personal trainer- because that is what he and his wife always said. He worked at Golds Gym for years training. Well once he got divorced, his ex-wife reported him as working as a personal trainer without proper certification. I know he was in some trouble and is no longer training, but not sure if there was legal repercussions. I know he was giving a pregnant woman terrible advice and her dr. Told her to never do those excersizes while pregnant. So it's not good to pretend your a personal trainer.[/quote]
Why wouldn't the gym have checked his certification? Lol. Gold's gym was pretty stupid to hire him and not even ask for proof of certification. Ha.
