I know there's a few of you on this thread that can help me with this (calling Denise!)...I am developing an age spot. I don't like it! I'm also looking for a tube or jar of goop for undereye circles...new to me! Can anyone help? I'm a Philosophy girl from way back, but I don't know where to go here!

Hi Dede! I just started using Bare Escentuals makeup this week and really like it. I have a huge "freckle" on my forhead (takes up the whole left side of my forehead and gets darker when I am in the sun a lot). I also get dark circles under my eyes. The bare minerals really seem to work. I also just received today their "Eye Rev-er Upper" which is supposed to help diffuse darkness and lighten under eye skin. I ordered my stuff off Ebay as it was cheaper than ordering it direct through Bare Escentuals.

I'm using Even complexion Essence from Mary Kay and their age fighting eye cream. The ECE will fade age spots, discoloration and freckles and it should be noticeable within two weeks of consistant use.

I tried Bare Minerals makeup... I like it, but not around my eyes, it found my lines. LOL! I have a line under the inside corner of my eyes, i've had them since I was born.( listen to me, I sound like I'm trying to say I don't have wrinkles.... I WISH!) ummm yeah... I loved the way it covered and felt sheer, but it didn't like my wrinkles.

I also use bare escentuals. I LOVE it!! I have been using it for a little over a year. I like the eye rever upper and the skin rever upper. I buy from the bare escentuals site, though. The ones on e-bay are not full size. I bought the starter kit, and the mineral veil is the only thing I have had to get more of in over a year. It lasts a loooong time. My grandmother, who is 92 years old, has always used Ponds cold cream. She only uses the one with the blue lid. I have recently started using it at night. I can sure tell a diference in the moisture and appearance of my skin. Did I mention that my grandmother only has minimal wrinkles. A few smile lines and a couple small "crows feet". She swears it is the Ponds. I think it might also be good genes!! Most importantly, use a good sunscreen, especially since you are in the sun so much. The sun really does age your skin. You cannot erase the age spot, but you CAN conceal it!! Try the bare escentuals. They offer a money back guarantee. It travels easy, is fast and easy to apply, and looks oh so natural!!!

My moms always used Oil of Olay and my friend's mom uses vaseline each and every night. Seems to be a working formula.

The Bare Escentuals was on the wish list. Hey, it works on TV!

I used the Bare Escentuals for a while, but I didn't like it very much. It didn't cover, and it did settle into any lines on my face (not that I have a lot, but you know). I just finally started looking at eye creams and moisturizers, too. (Now if I would just remember to USE them.)

[dede4wd]

I tried the bare escentuals. I'm not much of a foundation person. I do like the mineral veil, though.

I guess I'm looking more towards cremes and such. I'll look at the mary kay and the ponds!

Thanks!

DeDe I use Mary Kay too. One of the things that I like is that when I ordered stuff they taught me how to use it before hand. You can also exchange things if you dont like them.

[Ketann]

My mom uses Bare essentuals. She loves it. I use makeup rarely, but when I do it's Mary Kay. Like Jenn, they taught me how to use it. I use Oil of Olay and I really like it.

I use all Arbonne Nutrimin C products. They are wonderful and full of anti-aging benefits. If you would like a sample of the entire set just send me a pm and I will drop it in the mail to you. I think you would be very pleased in the results.

Dede my girl...I can help! Everyone recommends good products but we don't want to conceal the problem we want to fix it. If your serious to adapting to a serious routine..hands down the best single product I use is called Green cream. It's a retinol product with a unique delivery system. Your skin does need to adapt to it and you Have to wear a sunscreen..which I hope you already do! There a few different levels and you would need to start out on level 3 which is the weakest one. It helps with wrinkles,uneven skin tone and even breakouts. I will never be without it! You can read about it at their website ..which is greencream with the ususal before and afters. I will email you later on as well!

Probably not a bad thing...but if you read enough threads...some where along the way you will see a reference about big girl panties. While I find it to be a highly sexist remark I accept the fact the the men are in the minority here and that our tighty whitey's aren't on the same playing level as the BGP's.
