I’ve never been one afraid of aging.  Not one to have an issue with the number of birthday candles, nor afraid of growing old….that is until now.  Even though I still feel 18 and well to be honest probably still act like it, lately the game has been changing.  Since I hit my forties I’ve been noticing the grey hairs.  Bah! No big deal, just rip those suckers out ~gone, see ya!  Those do not bother me….the thing that is getting me down is the wrinkles, yup, pesky lines on the face.

You see I developed an allergy a few years ago, to what we still don’t know, but if I eat this mystery allergen, my face blows up like a balloon.  When I say blows up, I mean like HUGE!!! My face stretches so bad for hours.  I can take an antihistamine but it literally lasts most of the day.  So if you think about how many times this has happened (which is LOTS) and combined with the amount of stretching my face has had to do (TONS), surely it can’t be good.

So I’ve decided to take action.  I’ve looked at all the science behind the aging process and why things are happening to me.  The fact that the skin loses its elasticity (the ability to stretch and return to normal~ok big issue with the allergy thing!) which results in sagging.  So if you combine the elasticity thing with gravity….hello bagging and sagging 😒.  Your cells turn over more slowly and your face isn’t as oily anymore so you end up with drier, thinner skin.  These are just a few things but I’m thinking they can surely be slowed to a crawl a little (well except for the gravity issue).Read More
