Need some advice, about skin.

[winklie 518]

Okay, I admit I did not use the search feature again. I am 5 weeks post op and my skin is getting funky. I have read about 1000 creams, are there any that actually work? I am 47, and those are 47 years of VERY hard living. I smoked for a long time, have been fat, I am Bipolar, I have stress like no other human alive. Mostly I worry about my face. I do not want wrinkles. Any advice?

I'm 46- ex smoker and at 6 weeks out have what I call chicken skin. I have been using udder cream on my face and neck. Bar-maids.com also makes face pudding that works wonders too. I know this skin just needs time to rehydrate, but looking like the outside of a cold cut is not my idea of a fashion statement.

Neutrogena hydro gel lotion daily or nightly. Light blue jar. Nivea cocoa butter for body. Love them

This will sound weird but I'm 63 female and have used Vaseline as moisturizer most of my life. My sister was always horrified about this, but she just got a face lift and I don't need one.

So everybody gets dry skin? I thought it was the suddenly cold weather. I never needed a moisturizer but I sure do now.

I just went to the Dermatologist & was asking her about dry feet & body, she said Vaseline was the best moisturizer. Put on feet at night with socks. A light coat on very dry areas of body rubbed in. I'm putting it on my neck & chest legs & feet. Can't go the face so I use a loreal night cream.
