Tips from our Readers
- You may just have wrinkles. It's part of genetics and it's part of getting older. I'm not saying you should abandon your skincare routine, but embrace your natural body and your natural beauty! Your wrinkles are a testament to the amazing life you've led.
- I use tinted SPF moisturizer every day to not just protect against sun exposure but also to make my skin look a little smoother and more even. It's a win-win and a big game-changer for me.
