I love scrambles. Seriously, love them. I go back and forth with eggs. I will cut myself off from eating them for a while because I feel like they make me bloated, then I want them oh so badly so I stop caring and take the bloat. It gives more curves, right? Totes. Anywho, I’m obsessed with dill at the moment. And dill is a weird herb that doesn’t go in a ton of food. But with eggs, sweet potatoes and salmon…I’m about to scream. It’s so good. Just a fact.
When I hear a package dropped off at my doorstep, I get so excited. Yesterday, I had a silicone muffin pan arrive at my doorstep. Guess I need to make cupcakes. Or muffins. Or anything in a muffin shape. I’m pumped!
So I’m 25, if you didn’t know that fun fact, and even though I don’t have many wrinkles, I’m noticing them coming into view more and more. It doesn’t bother me too much, but I have some girlfriends who’ve told me that they wish they would have started using wrinkle cream at my age. And well, I’m not ready for botox. I’m completely supportive of plastic surgery and anybody who wants to shoot some botox into their body, but I’m not there yet. But I do want to try to keep the wrinkles from crevacing (yes, I know it’s not a word) into my skin. So the other day, I went to the beauty store to try to find some day and night cream. Once I got into the store, I was already lost. Usually when I walk into that store, I’m bombarded with people trying to sell me sh*t. But the one day that I actually need help, no one is there. I even said excuse me to a woman three times and she ignored me. She could have just not heard me, but I was standing 1 foot away, staring at her, so I think it was a ‘I have better things to do right now’ kind of ignore.
I then proceeded to the anti wrinkle cream area and started trying to read the product names. Like that wasn’t hard enough, I had to sort through terminology I absolutely do not understand. Once I found something that said DAY CREAM and NIGHT CREAM (terminology I do understand) I looked at the price. $120 for each cream. Are you high? I don’t know if this stuff is even going to work. You want to sell me something that promises to make me look less old in 10 years. WHAT IF IT DOESN’T WORK?? Then I’ve wasted hundreds, probably even thousands of dollars just hoping to have a smoother face? Wrinkles are exhausting.

So this may sound crazy-pants, but I have been using Burts Bees Baby Bee lotion on my face for like a decade. I wash my face with a milk & honey bar soap that has like 5 ingredients that I get at the grocery store. I’m 37 and have to scrinch my face up hard to get any wrinkles! And no, it’s not genetics, trust me. I am also outside a lot, working with horses, and I never use sunscreen (unless it’s the dead of summer and I’ll be in direct sunlight for over 30 mins, then I use a zinc based natural sunscreen) but have been using mineral based pressed powder foundation as my sunscreen also for a decade (first Bare Essentuals, now Jane Iredale).
I drink a lot of water, eat well (first healthy vegetarian, now pretty strict paleo).
Try adding a few capers to this – yum!
delightedmomma.com has a lot of all natural DIY skin care posts — they are all pretty awesome – i know there is an eye cream to make with avocado oil (?) and coconut oil. her masks are pretty freeking sweet – i like the lactic acid peel which is powdered milk and apple cider vinegar – your skin is AMAZING afterwards.
Hi Juli– I highly recommend Nerium AD. It’s a plant based product, preventive and corrective and addresses multiple concerns of aging at once, including wrinkles, discoloration, and texture. (and it doesn’t break the bank) . Email me if you have an interest, I can send you a sample to try. Also, can’t say enough about wearing a hat and sunglasses! Sun is good for you , but not too much.
I like dill too, will be trying this this weekend! Thanks!!
Try Arbone skin care :). My favorite!! Love their products!! 45 day money back guarantee. The ingredients are wonderful!
Man! Look at all of us with the wrinkle cream recommendations! I’m going to add a few more. First of all: EMU OIL. Wtf is that, you say? Yes, it is made from an animal called an emu. It is amazing for your skin. Non-comedogenic and all that. I find coconut oil greasy, but emu oil smooths lines and makes my face feel like my little baby’s bottom. It’s the best. SECOND: Go google some French actresses and notice that they wear their wrinkles with beauty and style. THIRD: I’m a big fan of (safe, non-toxic) sunscreens. I think it does make a difference. Thanks for a another great post, Juli!
A word of advice from a sagacious older woman: face muscles also need a workout! This is a good routine that I do daily: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZrN_jVKYdU
one of the best things i have found for my skin – especially after having used the same acne medication as you was organic rosehip oil around my eyes of a night time. works wonders and isn’t loaded full of the bad stuff. swear by it. i also swear by adding dill to things. good times. xx
This looks good!! I’m 45 and have been using anti wrinkle creams for about 10 yrs. I like them!! I use Mary Kay and love it. Reasonable prices and a great product.
Sunscreen, lots of water, no high priced creams….been there and believe me, ageing happens. I now use Argan oil on my face and neck. Does not irritate and absorbs quickly. I think I look ok for 57.
Genetics are a huge factor……
Sorry, hate smoked salmon and I have had the very best from a local First Nations group. Just way too strong a flavour for me.
