I just returned from a machine embroidery class. I’m not posting here to talk about the class, I’ll do that in another post, but I observed something when I arrived for the class. I noticed immediately that three of the other four ladies taking the class appeared to be at least 15-20 years older than me. Part of their appearance that made them seem older was their hairstyles, but the primary contributing factor making them look older was their skin. Their skin looked older.
From the time I was in high school I’ve taken care of my skin. Besides keeping my face clean, I’ve always tried to use skin care products and I’ve always used products for sensitive skin. There are so many skin care products to choose from. Each person must find what’s right for them.
Personally, I always want products that are dermatologist tested, fragrance free, designed for sensitive skin and, now that I’m older, has age defying components. A good system that I found recently, is the Borba system. It consists of 4 steps.
- Cleanse
- Treat
- Protect/Hydrate
- Boost
If added incentive is needed, a free gift is given with every purchase of $100 or more. Definitely worth checking it out!
