I’m starting this blog mainly to solicit some help on selecting a decent anti aging facial cream for myself, and secondly to document my findings in the hopes that other people may also find them useful.  So…why would I start looking for an anti aging face cream all of a sudden?

I’m by no means a vain person (you’d know if you were one of my personal friends) but the other day when I went shopping with a friend (Cat/Cathy for those of you who know her) the woman at the cosmetics counter asked if I was Cat’s mother.  (Poor me isn’t even 50 yet and Cat’s only 7 years younger than me!)  Needless to say there was quite a bit of embarrassment and profuse apologies from the woman at the counter, and I acted like it was no big deal to make the poor woman feel better.  While we were having lunch later at a nearby restaurant, I couldn’t help but sneak secret peeks at my reflection on the mirror behind Cat and compare my face to Cat’s.  I really couldn’t blame the woman – I did look significantly older than Cat did, with forehead wrinkles, lines around and under my eyes, deep “laugh” lines (ironically this is no laughing matter), and more lines around my mouth.

Managing my own business while bringing up both kids at the same time must have taken its toll on me over the years.  Thinking about this made me a little sad, but then I decided to take some action to make myself look younger, now that I have the time and money to spend on myself (both my “kids” have grown up and moved out).  I wanted to try anti aging facial creams to see if they would work or not, because I wanted something simple that didn’t involve needles or surgery.  The question was which specific facial cream to buy first.  I always like to do plenty of research online before buying a product, so that’s what I’ll be doing for the next while.

I’ll be updating this blog to report my findings.  In the meantime, if you have any suggestions please don’t hesitate to help me out by leaving a comment below.  Thanks!
