Looking for a Good Anti-wrinkle Treatment

Hello Moms,
I had a day from hell yesterday. First I realized, that my favorite outfit for an upcoming friend's wedding is too small!!!! The skirt is so tight, I cannot even sit down. I just bought pricy shoes to go with it two days ago too!!! Well, I guess I have to loose at least 5 lb by this Saturday:(
On top of that - I notice a bunch of little wrinkles around my mouth and eyes!!! And I'm just 27!!!! Ughhh!!! I just wanted to cry! I guess my question is - Does anyone know of a good anti-wrinkle lotion? I know they are expensive though. I don't want to waist money on something that doesn't work. So I thought I would ask for your advice. Right now I just use Olay night lotion and day lotion. Nothing special for my eyes. I should say Olay is very moderately priced. If someone knows of something REALLY-REALLY good, I think I will suck it up and pay as much as $50. I'm just so upset:(

Thanks so much!!!!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Hello again!

THANK YOU all so much for sharing your beauty wisdom with me and for offering your help. Frankly, I'm a little overwhelmed with all the options:) I guess I will have to do a research on your suggestions and deside what works for me. It's nice to know that I have someone to go to if I have a question on any particular product.
For a record, I lost 3 lb as of today:). I know, I'm still not there yet. I tried my skirt last night and it looks like I can wear it without fearing that it will burst along the sims any moment. It still looks just a little too tight, but my husband says it's sexy:) Oh, ok! :)
I have been drinking water like a cow, that was lost in the woods for a week and that finally walked into a bucket with water:) I was thinking about moving my office desk to the bathroom to be closer to the toilet. Hmm, I guess water doesn't stay in me too long:)
Anyway, thank you all again. I will definetely let you know if I would like to discuss any particular cream with you.

Viktoria,

Well...looks to me like everyone is using your question to sell their own wares. Firstly, I don't see that anyone is addressing your 5 lb wt loss issue. Here's a fool-proof way to lose 5 lbs fast if you haven't already tried it. Drink 3 qts of water a day. Period. If you're not already drinking at least 4-6 8 oz glasses per day...you'll easily shed 5 lbs. Also, eat 3 meals per day consisting of veggies and lean protein. Voila! Much more breathing room in that pretty outfit! VERY IMPORTANT...DON'T SKIP MEALS! If your metabolism doesn't feel it has to work but once a day...it WILL SLOW DOWN.

As for the skin cream...I've tried them ALL! I'm a beauty product junkie! In my, un-biased, non-skincare-selling opinion...it sounds to me like your skin is nothing more than thirsty. Another problem, over time, that water will fix. Remember...you are what you eat/drink! A quick-fix for those little lines, especially around the mouth area, Loreal Wrinkle-Decrease Collagen Filler. You apply it right on the little lines and it fills them in (at least for most of the day), then apply makeup or concealer that doesn't sink into lines. A good concealer is Maybelline Age Rewind. But most of the drugstore brand foundations/concealers that advertise 'Age-Defying' use the same technology of 'floating' above fine lines.

Beyond this special event, make some lifestyle changes if you want to reduce the "march of time across your face". Drink at least 4-6 8oz glasses of water per day and add a hair/skin/nails or cellular renewal vitamin to your daily regimen. AND, if your not already taking a multivitamin, start. Great looking skin starts from the INSIDE. Use a daily SPF moisturizer. The brand you're using is good but add a serum with vitamin C. Olay regenerist or Garnier Fructis are good, inexpensive choices. Oh...and in winter...beef up that night moisturizing. Using a more hydrating one - maybe even invest in a hydrating mask every now and then. Our faces take some serious moisture stripping in winter.

Okay...reallly long email. If you have ANY other questions, please feel free to email me. ____@____.com the way, I'm 35 and I get compliments on my skin all the time so I think what I'm doing is working so far!

Have a great time at the wedding! (Oh and...drinking too much alcohol can dry your skin and speed up aging too! What a joy-killer!) - M.

I have read some of the research about olay and they have products that are remarkable similar is working as thoughs other MUCH more pricy products. They have been compared to products that cost up to $300-$500, and have the same result. I would stick to what your using whether than wasting your money.

You will get hit now from everyone who is selling skin care and cosmetics - myself included. But I can tell you that Mary Kay has been the country's #1 top selling skin care company for the past 9 years for a reason.

For your eyes - I think that best thing is the Timewise Eye Firming Cream. It is only $30. You use it day and night. It will last you 4-6 months.

There are tons of other products - but I will not overwhelm you with them. You can see them all on my website at www.marykay.com/pbuhrman. I would love the opportunity to get together with you and let you try them in person - along with a complimentary Fall Color Makeover! And the products are 100% gauranteed. If for any reason you are not satisfied - just give me a call. I will be happy to exchange them for anything else you would like to try and if all else fails - return them.

FYI - I have been a consultant for over 7 years now and carry a full line of inventory - so there is no long wait to get your products!

Seems everyone here just wants to sell you something they are selling. Buyer beware....do your homework. Go to Oprah.com and on the search just type in "wrinkle creams" and start reading. It's a real eye-opener! Lots of wonderful advice with no pressure to buy anything specific.

Hello Viktoria,
Everyone is going to tell you they are the best, but I am here to educate you on skin care products and let you make your choice. Look at the ingredient list on the back and see if there are any ingredients that end in "parabens." Parabens are a chemical preservative they must add to maintain a shelf life...not healthy for your skin. However, there is the FIRST and ONLY skin health line out there that is a Patented, science based, self-preserving formula that is free from added chemical preservatives. This is a holistic approach to health and the line is called Sense by USANA Health Sciences.

Have a wonderful time looking radiant at the wedding!

Hi Viktoria.

I sell Avon and there is a new product out called ANEW Ultimate Age Repair. I have not personally used this, but everyone says it is wonderful! There is a night cream ($34) and an elixir ($54). Here is the information I have on it:

"Leading medical scientists proved for the first time that Sirtuins--special Youth Proteins found in virtually all living organisms--can extend healthy life span. This latest breakthrough research has been the hot topic in national magazines, including Newsweek, Fortune, and O, The Oprah Magazine. Anew harnesses the discovery of Sirtuins to help redefine the visible aging process, repair the signs of advanced age damage and visibly change the way skin naturally ages."

This product claims that it can 'erase up to 5 years from the appearance of skin' (statement made based on a consumer perception study). I do not have a bottle of this on hand...however I do have a one-week sample that you can have. Let me know if you are interested!

Viktoria, I use Mary Kay Timewise Firming Eye Cream. It is $30 a bottle & works like magic! You see instant results when you use it. The bottle is small, but you only use a small amount so it does last quite awhile. Good luck! I also wanted to tell you that I am not a consultant or anything, I am simply a happy consumer!

I agree with what Mary said to you about H20 intake and protein to lose weight - I had success with both! Also, I use Olay regenerist day and night cream and just this weekend noticed that Walmart sells a store brand - Equate cheaper! The Regenerist collections is around $18 a bottle and the Equate is around $11 a bottle. I bought the equate - haven't used it yet though. The olay products I use have sunscreen as does the mineral makeup that I use. It may be time to invest in an eye creme as well if you notice creping around your eyes. I'd stick to Olay or dermatologists love Nuetrogena.

Back to the weight - I hired a trainer to shed 25lbs of baby weight after my first child - and went from a 6 back to my 2's. He had me doing 30-40 min of cardio followed by weight training 3 times a week. Immediately after my workout, I drank a protein shake to help my muscles recover. It worked! I'm expecting baby #2 and will follow the same course of action.

Best wishes to you!! PS Watch your salt intake.
