This is not my topic. It should be but it isn’t – I just don’t care that much about aging…yet. The truth is that now that I don’t have to face my biggest critic anymore – Granny – I don’t have my flaws pointed out that much. Thanks to her I have always been good at moisturizing and we did go through a big challenge of getting my sun spots on my forehead cleared before my wedding but other than that I do nothing.
So I don't feel like I add much to the blog this month but Ash asked me the other day what I did to get rid of the spots so I can give the run down from that experience because it seemed to work. Here is what we did, and it was pricey. We started with the dermatologist – he prescribed Tri-Luma and I started to notice a very slight difference with a couple of weeks. Next I had a combined laser/microderm “Skin Rejuvenation” treatment from American Laser Centers – I was already going there for hair laser (which DOES NOT WORK, at least on me) and they offered a deal on the facial. I think I noticed the most after that. I went back to the derm and he did his own laser treatment that I didn’t see much from and then I had 3 microderms. All of this happened within about 6 months. The final result was very good and I do still have damage there but it is not so Gorbachev looking and I’ve been v. v. v. good about sunscreen on my face ever since – the body not so much.
So that is the only time I’ve ever visited a dermatologist or cared very much about my skin – that was 4 years ago. Now I have this red spot under my right eye that looks like a broken capillary and when I don’t have make-up on my son says “oh boo boo mommy I kiss it” so I know another visit to the derm is in order…maybe I’ll go.
