We feel like we are on a treadmill when it comes to dry skin! How about you? Do you feel like the problem of dry skin one of those things that just never seems to go away?
No matter how much lotion you keep slathering on, it just keeps coming back! So, when we read a recent article from our friend over at the No-Nonsense Beauty blog, we just had to share it with you.
According to her article, she has tried out the new Clarisonic body scrubber with great results.

Dear Deborah and JoJami –
I am so happy to have found your website! I will turn 60 in November and I’m wondering what your favorite skin care regimen is? I need a cleanser, moisturizer, toner, foundation regimen that is best for aging skin. Also I’m always on the lookout for age appropriate clothing – don’t want to look like a teenager wanna-be, but love looking stylish. It seems there is not much advice out there for us “60 is
Deb - I was blessed with good skin but I have treated it with great care.
the new 40″ types out there!
Thanks again. I love your website.
Kind regards, Sandy Brennan, hip grandma!
Hi Sandy,
Stay tuned for some new posts we’re doing on style trends over 4o for spring. As for skin care- yes, it’s so important, and isn’t it overwhelming to know what to use with all the different skin care products out there? I ( Deborah) switch around every few months, mainly because I get sucked in by the latest “new scientific breakthrough” in some magazine. In the end I always come back to a European line I have used throughout my life called Babor™. My skin is very dry and I find this cream super rich and moisturizing for me. It is mainly sold in spas.
JoJami’s skin is more oily. She also switches around and is currently using a mixture of Aveeno’s newest line, Smart Essentials™ pore purifying facial wash and StriVectin-SD™ for her eye cream.
We’ve had many of our readers say they like Olay skin care, which is quite affordable compared to most. If you like botanicals a natural skin care line we have found recently that is lovely is Exuberance Skin care.
Whatever you use I have two rules: I always wash my face before going to bed, even if it means washing it at 3 in the morning! I have been doing this since I was 12. I moisturize faithfully every single night, without fail. I believe consistency is the key to beautiful skin, and of course stay out of the sun!
A while back we wrote a great post by a prominent dermatologist Dr. Jaliman that sorted out exactly what you need to include in your ant-aging skin care regime for it to be effective. Please check out that post as it is really useful.
What does everyone else out there use to keep your skin looking boomer beautiful?
