Sorry for the rather vague title, I don't know where to start. Having just done the bare minimum for years, I have recently looked at myself and decided I need some serious help. Maybe I'm having a slightly early midlife crisis but my appearance is getting me down. Went clothes shopping the other day and was nearly in tears. So here are my problems if you can help me tackle them, please???
1 - I'm suddenly looking my age (if not older) and need to get some decent skincare/ makeup and disguise the lines that have crept up over the last few years without me noticing. Basically I'm just using a basic SPF 15 moisturiser plus BB cream (which is apparently SPF 25) in the day and Nivea Q10 night cream. Are there any products that do reduce the appearance of wrinkles? (not brave enough for botox yet!)
2- With regards to clothes, I am useless with knowing what suits and what doesn't. Am 5ft, size 10 (8 with the vanity sizing that goes on in lots of shops) but not got much shape - very straight up and down, including very small boobs
3 - I am very self-conscious about a noticeable port-wine stain birthmark across my neck/ cleavage and down one arm. Are there any products that actually work for bleaching/ fading the appearance of these or will expensive laser surgery be my only option? Or camouflage make up?
4 - (And I realise this is my own fault and I will probably just have to wait it out) I had my hair cut into what I thought was a cute, elfin pixie cut, but during my changing room horror the other day realised that with my figure it just makes me look like an 11 year old boy.
I know it's a big ask but can you lovely people please give me some direction (sitting rocking in the corner overcome by insecurity!)
