I look really old today!!-help!!

[pink4ever]

Was out last might with friend for meal and few drinks(but not hammered by any manner) but looked in the mirror this morning and I look dreadul. Eye bags horrendous and just noticed that my crows feet are actually really deep!!(I had convinced myself they were very faint [sad}.
I jokingly said to dh that I want botox but sadly that is out of our budget. Are there any anti-wrinkle creams that actually work?(not creme de la mer prices please-currently use avon cheapie).Under £20 or am I am being ridiculously optimistic?.(35 btw).

You're probably just dehydrated from the alcohol and salty restaurant food. Drink some water!

Cut out fags and booze, use a moisturiser with SPF, keep your weight stable, and smile so people see your twinkly eyes and lovely expression, not any lines.

I feel like this and have really noticed that the sleep deprivation since DD was born has taken its toll on my skin.
I find that Trilogy rosehip oil is a magic potion. I think you can get it from boots online, though my DH is from NZ and brings it back for me in huge quantities as it's from there and is cheaper. Not massively pricey here though don't think. I put it on as nightcream 3 times a week and honestly can say it's the only thing that's made a real difference and I was a total product junkie!

lack of sleep, water
try vit e oil for skin lines
stand back from mirror and dont use the scary side early in the morning..

I prescribe:
Early nights
Good night cream
A serum os some kind - Olay 3 point regenerist / Clinique Laser Focus (this one extra good IMO) or Clarins botanical firming lift serum all do the trick for me. I mix and match them all as regularly recognise the look you describe! :)

drink lots of water, not juice or the other dilute stuff. plain water
eat lots of fresh fruit
get as much sleep as possible
moisturise, and remove makeup. always
always use sun protection on your face, even on cloudy miserable days
never sunbathe , well, keep your face protected.

more water.

Also, the light is really good at the moment, very bright so you probably need some good exfoliation.

I had to do the same last weekend when I wakened up looking like a troll.

Definitely drink loads; it plumps out and softens your skin big time.

Good sunscreen, light fake tan (just a golden glow, not Tango-esque), good concealer for under eye woes, good serum. Boots Botanics one looks good, only £8ish.
