I STILL like Mary Kay...their skincare products in particular. But NOT like? I tried Proactive once or twice - I did not care much for it.
Noxzema is sentimental, as is Cocoa Butter. There was another product - it was not so great. But I absolutely insisted!
Then I discovered Mary Kay.
Of course- age. Adolescence and acne versus being a young woman in her prime...

Morpheus 8 treatments on legs for cellulite reduction. Total waste and so painful.

Any recommendation on under eye cream for wrinkle??? Thank you!

Ive been using botox fairly consistently for 10 yrs and m happy with the results. However, for financial reasons Im thinking of taking a break for 12 months to save the extra money.

Will stopping botox for 12 moths undo all the progress I've made? (I am afraid of rapidly aging like the Nazi from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - nightmare fule).

Also, any adfordable akincare products I should use during the 12 months?

I’m interested in pursuing cosmetic dermatology (possible Botox and laser treatment) for the first time. I’ve done a ton of research and the derm I’m most interested in going to charges a $150 consult fee but does NOT apply that cost to any treatments you get, whereas from my research it seems like derms in my city usually do apply the consult fee to the treatments. Would you pass on her due to that additional cost, or consider it worth it to see the derm you want to see?
