Skin Deep - Youthful skin and nails while on Tamox and AI's

Indigo, I have heard of Sea Buckthorn Oil. It is in my Amika hair products and I really like it. My friend has the oil/serum for night time use, and she really likes it.

There is a list of top 10 retinol products recommended by derm docs. The list includes both Roc and Neutrogena. I just saw Watts Beauty has a 2.5% Retinol cream on Amazon for about $20.

Exercise_gu, I have used eye shadow for brow powder. Recently, I picked up some Ardell brow powder and fiber paste. If I work with a tiny brush head, I can get the same type of strokes that are used in microblading, for a very natural brow look.

Thank you everyone for your contributions. A thread like this can help all of us, and, I am sure, that we are trying a variety of products to retain our looks.

Definition from google: Peptides are chains of amino acids that are the building blocks of proteins in the skin. ... When they are in a short chain of amino acids, they are able to penetrate the top layer of our skin and send signals to our cells to let them know how to function. One important protein in our skin is collagen.

one product that I use:

Revitalize and brighten skin with Bioelements Power Peptide.

Bioelements Power Peptide is an age-fighting facial toner that refreshes the complexion. This toner revitalizes skin with renewing peptides. Its anti-aging formula brightens and refines uneven skin tone. Plus, this hydrating toner works to saturate skin with moisture, helping the complexion better absorb anti-aging ingredients. With continued use, this facial toner will help hydrate, nourish and revitalize skin for a younger-looking appearance.

• Acetyl hexapeptide-8 helps smooth fine lines and wrinkles
• Ergothioneine increases skin vitality and promotes radiance
• Licorice root extract brightens skin tone
• White tea leaf extract offers skin calming properties

Nourish and revitalize the complexion with Bioelements Power Peptide.

I also use peptides by Serious Skincare. I generally layer different products on my skin depending on what needs work, i.e. wrinkles, blotchy skin, etc. I exfoliated with a thermal (heat activate) Vitamin C Scrub by Serious Skincare, used Power Peptide, followed with some Ultramare from Serious Skincare, and the Sleepwear from Bioelements that has a retinol product in it.

Thanks, Beach2Beach, I think we need all the help that we can get. Wouldn't it be great to have better skin than what we had before breast cancer?

Serious Skincare Thermal Vitamin C Exfoliant, Vitamin C Serum, Vitamin C Sunscreen. Wait until they have a special on a group of Vitamin C products and you can get 5 or 6 very good sized products for about $60.00. I like to use product lines to see if there is a result and sometimes I like to mix and match.

Ghionik, it was definitely my pleasure to start this thread, because we are all looking for ways to keep our looks intact. I love the science behind the products and, actually, next week, I am going for 7 days to Chicago with my esthetician niece for her advanced training. She has been practicing for 12 years and is amazing. She is so busy, that I don't get to have services, ergo my search for the fountain of youth on my own.

Here is a little bit of information, about the Serious Skincare product called Ultramare. I use it with the vitamin C serum. Both come in glass bottles, the vitamin C has a label covering almost the entirety of the bottle. Many of the products can be found in combined kits that go on an HSN today's special value, every now and then. I have expression lines, between my eyes "11's" that are not too deep. I have no crow's feet or forehead wrinkles. I am in my 50's. My main concern is complexion, which is invigorated by the Vitamin C.
