I totally agree with this.

I may have great skin but it is heavily freckled. Genetics I suppose. My doctor has said they are on account of 30+ years of birth control. Now I have attempted to cover up the freckles and spots with heavier matte foundation but the experience was unpleasant. It felt as though my face wasn't breathing. I use a water based light weight foundation instead to at least even out the natural colours and tones of my face but essentially it is practically see-through. Light on the blush and just a hint of eye makeup. I admit though to rather heavy eyeliner and mascara.

Again just water and Ivory soap. No creams or lotions.

I am today 52. Most people are surprised when I tell them I have a child in their early 30s. I have been told by many that I look ten years younger.

I don't wish to bash those of you who do have a regimen. It is your choice. But I do want to make an observation here based on what I see go out of my workplace in grocery carts. It would appear that it is the uber young who spend the most on creams and serums. Those in their 30s-late 40s I don't see much in the way of skincare products. Then we come to the ladies in their 60s and 70s who seem to spend near as much as the young women. I kind of feel sorry for them with the wonder that they truly think these products are going to roll back time. One just has to observe advertising to see these products are marketed towards the younger generation which I feel is rather sad.

Just my observation and personal choice though ladies. Again, do what your feel is best just don't prioritise it over other things in your life.
