Bye Bye fine lines

Ok so I know I'm not really that old, but I have notice a few fine lines in the corners of my eyes, my forehead and my smile marks. I'm tring to prevent the inevitable! lol WRINKLES!!! I know I will get them some day, I just hope I can prolong my wrinkle freeness. lol I have been researching only, and it turns out Im not the only young(er) girl doing it either. I love of celebs around my age and younger are doing it too! I'll be 26 in 2weeks btw. I have read that Pro Retinol helps with skin rejuvenation. Its a form of Vitamin A. If your older and have a deep wrinkle issue, then Pro Retinol is not for you. You need something more along the lines of Retinol. The difference is that Retinal is the purest form of Vitamin A, and Pro Retinol refers to less active forms of Vitamin A. Vitamin A is an antioxidant that reduces the effects of harmful elements in the skin, preventing wrinkles and infections to keep skin vital and younger-looking.
So anyways, I went out and bought Garnier Ultra Lift Anti-Wrinkle firming night cream. lol And to be honest my skin feels sooo much smoother, my fine lines arnt as visible anymore either! I think I love this stuff! lol

It is very creamy, goes on smooth, and it smells amazing! It dosnt leave me greasy at all! I have notice a little tingle around my eyes where the skin is a little more sensitive and around my nostrils. but that is it. The tingling stops after about 1-2 mins. (It does not turn red or anything)

Before I rubbed it in.

I have been using it for 4 days now, and I have not broken out from it or have had any form of irritation from it at all. Thank God! I chose the Pro Retinol as apposed to the Retinol, because I dont have any deep wrinkles. I'm just trying to preserve my skin, not really fix anything. I hope this post helped those of you who are interested in Retinol and/or Pro Retinol.

After I rubbed it in.

Be sure to compare/examine my skin on my next makeup post! :)

My Nephew Noah Needs Your Help

  This is my Nephew Noah. He has Hydrocephalus. He is only 3 yrs old and has already had 2 brain surgerys. Depending on what his next MRI says, he might have to get another one by the end of the year. If you could please donate just $1, it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hydrocephalus does not discriminate and there is no cure. 1 to 2 of
every 1,000 babies are born with hydrocephalus. It is the most common
reason for brain surgery among children. Please donate, so that we can find a cure!
