I have never been into putting cream or lotion on my face...mostly because I have oily skin and large pores, so I have always been prone to acne...any additional oils would inevitably cause me to break out. Oily skin has also been a blessing to me, I must admit. I am well into my forties and do not really have any wrinkles to speak of. Sometimes I still get carded when buying a bottle of wine at the market...what a compliment, right? When people meet for the first time, especially at a gig, they will usually guess my age to be around 28 or 29...it definitely makes a girl feel good.
I do not take my oily skin for granted...at least, not anymore. I realize that my age will eventually catch up with me, so I do take measures to care for my skin and keep it supple. I still do not use face creams or any type of lotion on my face...but I have found aloe vera to be a virtual "fountain of youth". I am a pretty frugal person too, so I cannot justify spending tons of money on any beauty products, when Mother Nature provides a near perfect product and it is very cheap. An $8 bottle of aloe vera gel will last me an entire year. It is not greasy, it has no scent, and it absorbs immediately into my skin without any residue.
Aloe is great for keeping your skin hydrated, but it also helps regenerate cells and is an anti-bacterial, so it fights blemishes as well and protects your skin from free radicals. Hello! Did I also mention, its CHEAP????
This is a beauty tip that I highly recommend for anyone or any age...check it out!
