    Janette, I appreciate you so much. You are 1000x more relatable than any of these women we talk about could ever be. Thank you for your vulnerability and taking the time to share with us. I turn 40 this year and struggle with trying to balance acceptance of the aging process and wanting to do ALL THE THINGS to look 30 forever. I’ve done the laser/CO2 thing a few times but I think now I’ll just save all that money for a facelift in my 50s. Thanks for stopping in to chat with us 🥰

      ❤️40 is still young adult 😁I’ll post soon about what I found really worked. A lot of things just made me look bloated and old. I wasted a lot of money on junk I now see MLM’s selling. But I also think I found some good stuff that is not too expensive. At 40 I did start using glycolic acid daily – I’m almost 50 and I everyday I am really happy I started that habit. Neostrata is an amazing line (not sponsored or affiliated). For the longest time in the USA, 10% or higher glycolic acid required a prescription and was 3x more expensive than what we pay in Canada. I’d smuggle Neostrata to Los Angeles for friends, including many facialists. I use the Neostrata glycolic renewal on my body and face every day. It’s not created for faces but heck. I love it. You may need to start with every few days and work up to daily. At 40 I was getting very noticeable aging on my décolleté- this changed that. Also-- sorry I realize you aren’t looking for advice but I figured-- why not share 🥰🥰 https://www.neostrata.ca/products/glycolic-renewal-smoothing-ltn-200ml/F30133XA.html?cgid=ingredients-glycolic-acid&tilePosition=5

        I’ll take alllll the advice! I’m currently using a BHA/AHA but nothing as strong as 10% glycolic. I’m in the states often enough so I’ll try to smuggle some home. Thank you!
