I just turned 40 so this title still "stings" but here goes:
Botox: I get 2.5 units at the outer third of each eyebrow to lift. I don't have forehead wrinkles or elevens between brows, so am extremely lucky. And it's really cheap if you can pay by the unit!! Now, my 62 yr old fiance Bob gets the full treatment. He does it every 12 weeks religiously and is following the protocol from Canada's Pure Med Spa. After a couple years, it is expected he will not need to do it anymore. Ever! Good thing as he uses a lot - 60 units each time!
Resylane: I love this stuff! Going in next week for touch up. Use it at the nasal labial folds, lips (upper is smaller than lower), and marrionette lines at chin from corners of mouth. May be guinae pig with it injected my eyebrow line for additional lift (hooded lids - avoiding surgery). Bob has bags under eyes and is seriously considering Resylane for that, in addition to his nasal labial folds that he has had done alredy. I've seen it work a miracle on a friend with her bags and a dent that ran down her cheek. She looks like a new woman.
Just finished 5 cycles of the following: chemical peel, photofacial & laser facial (IPL). I am not wrinkly/saggy enough for Fraxel but Bob has had it and it has shrunken his jowels dramatically. It has cured me of my acne - finally, and got rid of my broken capillaries around my nose! Am also seeing continual skin firming. Looking good! Have 5 more coming as maintenance. Did first five cycles in one year. Will drag out remaining over two years. My chemical peel has same effect as dermabrasion but is gentler and will not aggrivate my tendancy for keiloid scarring.
Skin care: I am loyal to Isomers, a Canadian line of products sold on ShopNBC here in US. My oily skin loves their serums and gels. Copper P serum totally reduced the appearance of my large pores! I also love their Chito-Firm serum. Really does give tightening effect. I also use serums that are similar to Dr. Periconne's line but not nearly as costly. Can be found at Wild Oats, Whole Foods and other natural food stores.
Makeup: Bare Escentuals. Will never use another product ever again I love it so much!!
