I am about 3.5 years out , but half of america thinks I am in my late 30's. My whole life, I always looked younger than my actual age. Now, after WLS,  I get 37, 39, and ever 41. I am 32. I am looking to do anything affordable and non-surgical. Could anyone offer up any suggestions that work? Are there any OTR creams that work? I will try anything!!

Vitamins and water really help with skin as well as protein (amino acids especially cystine)  A good sunblock (even for your darker complexion), a moisturizer.  Exfoliation helps get rid of dry, dull skin and shows newer healthier skin...A bronzer adds highlights that give off a pretty glow that reflects light in the right places making the skin appear youthful. Purple berries and fruits are a good antioxidant  and help with skin as well as pomegranite juice....Sugar is bad for the skin and ages it with free radicals( kinda like a banana out of it's protective skin)...I love aloe after a day in the sun....and around my eyes....I love lotions with copper in them for skin firming and toning... Here's a great site about vits for the skin that I posted once before... http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/features/s kin-nutrition?page=5 Hope that helps...because basically there is not youth in a jar...but  good healthy eating habits and vitamins play a huge role in youth as it truly has made a HUGE difference in my skin, hair and nails... Hope that helps....I'll be 44 next month and even my graying hair stopped and even reversed!  No lie!

 THE THREE DAY FACE LIFT  by Dr  Nicholas Perricone www.perriconemd.com/index.cfm?action=home.day_face_lift  This does work!  It's a 3 day diet that not only plumbs out wrinkles, tightens saggy skin and gives it a healthy glow---  it is within our low carb, high protein guidelines. It's not easy but the results are worth the effort.   If you try it-- let me know what you think!

You do NOT look that old to me.  I think people are just jelous cause you have lost so much weight.  lol lol  But I have heard of some stuff called Face Lift in a Bottle.  I heard about it on a radio station.  Never tried it but the people on the station RAVE about it.   Denise
