Can’t Age Warriors Use the Same Makeup Products as "Everybody Else"?

[Continued from Wednesday.]

First of all, who is “everybody else”? Not only is our Age Warrior skin different from when we were younger, it is unique to each one of us. Could you ever wear any makeup product you desired? Weren’t some too oily or too drying? Didn’t some products make you break out while “all your friends” could use them?

At any age, it’s necessary to select products formulated for your skin type at that point in time. For those of us who have attained Age Warrior status, that probably means using creamier products: liquid or cream foundations; cream eyeshadows and blushes; lip and eyeliners with soft leads.

Second, we have many more choices today and it’s getting easier to find makeup products for skin with visible signs of aging. Some are even specifically formulated for Age Warriors.

For example, Olay and Cover Girl have joined forces to develop an anti-aging foundation which includes award-winning Olay Regenerist Serum as well as SPF 22.

Cover Girl says the foundation “stays suspended over fine lines and wrinkles, unlike the leading anti-aging department store foundation that can gather in wrinkles and make skin look older”.

Sounds like just the thing. We bought some for testing, so you can expect my review soon.
