Will surgery after certain age make you look haggard?

That is it, I am buying bio-oil today!

After surgery, my face began looking very old. I am 65 years old so I should look old but after surgery I began to look like I was 100. My face was covered with fine crinkles. My wife suggested I use bio-oil. It's a small bottle of PurCllin oil that is applied directly to the skin. I buy mine at CVS but I don't know if every CVS sells them. When I started using this product, my wrinkles went away dramatically.

In the last several months, I have made one other change which my wife suggested. I wash my face with [Nubian] African Black Soap, found in many health food stores. It is made from and african black soap base and shea butter. I wouldn't go so far as to say that it controls wrinkles, but it does have a visible effect on my skin. It makes it soft like a baby's bottom. So I think it is adding moisturizers to my skin.

So each morning, I wash my face with African Black Soap and then apply Bio-Oil. It takes about 4 minutes during my morning routine and then I am good to go for the rest of the day.

@@James Marusek -- I had seen your posts about BIo Oil and went and found some -- CVS even has their own brand knock-off of the name brand. It's not as greasy as some other oils so I use it on the arms and legs and neck area before bed.
