Birthdays Getting You Down? Celebrate and Take Care of You!

I'm feeling sick over turning 60!!

I don't see myself with the extra $ to do any procedures to improve my skin at his time so I'd like to get all that I can from skin creams. I like Olay (and I know you like it too).

What is the best regimen for minimizing deep wrinkles (around mouth area), moisturizing and firming?

Is the Olay Regenerist line better than the Pro-X? I've heard mixed things about that line.

What specific products should I look for?

Also, a friend of mine swears by StriVectin-SD. I would consider spending the extra $ for this if it is a better option.

Hi Susan,

First of all, Happy Birthday! I don’t care which birthday it is; it’s cause for celebration. I want to congratulate you as well for being proactive about wanting to take care of your appearance.

There are plenty of affordable skin care anti-aging options. Let me see if I can provide some guidance. After all I have five more years of experience at this than you. ;-)

You sound like a brand-loyal buyer who wants one line that meets all (or most) of her needs. I wonder if you saw my recent Recommendations for Brand-Loyal Age Warriors.

You’ll see that, for affordable anti-aging skin care, I do recommend Olay Regenerist over Olay Pro-X. That’s because of the value I see in Regenerist. Pro-X has some stronger newer anti-aging ingredients, but at a significantly higher price.

If you can afford Pro-X, I would say, go for it; but if not, Regenerist is excellent as well.

As for StriVectin-SD, that’s another of my faves and is actually a relative bargain because the 6-ounce tube will last at least six months. However if that is beyond your budget, there are some pretty good drugstore “copycats”. Read my Comparison of StriVectin-SD and Preventin-AT here.

Follow all the steps in my Step Up Your Skin Care plan and you’ll be doing everything you can (short of medical procedures) to keep your skin healthy and more youthful looking.

Best birthday regards,
Jean
