Ughhhh I'm learning how to live as an elderly person since my first 30th birthday was last year. And I am strugglin'. But I wanted to share a few things I've discovered so I can hopefully help out you youngsters and become a laughingstock for you really ancient people (like, y'all who are 35+).
I found this moisturizer at WalMart with SPF and retinol, and I was like, well fine I guess I need you. It does kind of burn and make me peel a bit but that's normal? To kill off old person skin and reveal the baby smooth skin underneath? Regardless, I can only stand to use it when I'm not putting on makeup after. When I need more moisture, I've been using a Garnier 3-in-1 day cream/ night cream/ mask that's vegan (so like completely all-natural, right). It's more of a gel than a cream, and it feels wonderful on my face. However, after I run out of both of these, I'm planning on trying just straight jojoba oil for awhile. I've ventured too far from my all-natural roots and need to edge my way back. But: acid and SPF. Good for old people.
I have attempted to broach the subject of body piercings, but Jake says I'm too old to get my nose pierced, so that mid-life crisis desire will just have to pass. Am still afraid of needles. Which also means no tattoos.
We did get our mini-van right before my first 30th, so I'll count that as my hot rod of choice.
In all seriousness, I'm taking better care of myself in general, which is good... yet I still feel much worse than I did when I was 17 and ate whole pizzas and bags of white powdered donuts by myself and weighed slightly more than a paper clip, but c'est la vie.
So what are some tips on aging gracefully? I'd love to have some to implement before my next 30th birthday, which is coming up very soon.
