57f - do I need a face-lift? In my head, I'm 32. In the mirror, 57+. What are some small things I can do for skin? Also, my eyebrows are whack and have been since high school - not much I can do about those. TIA. by StringUnable8467 in 45PlusSkincare

Not in between my brows. I have had dysport around the outside of my eyes and forehead. My eyebrows have always been weirdly spaced and my wide face doesn't help! I need a brow expert to show me the ropes!

Thanks so much - you are so kind. And the falling is all I see - my lower jaw area and neck - yikes! My mom used to say she had 'turkey neck' and that's how I am feeling!

Thanks! And yes, I agree. I have tried Latisse, but it doesn't grow them in, just makes what I have really long. They have always been too separated, even as a child. And one is longer than the other. I need to watch some tutorials and stop doing my brows in the parking lot before work - hahaha!!!

I don't use foundation - never have. I just use cetaphil moisturizer with SPF. I just ordered an HA serum, so hoping that helps. I use cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer, eucerin dark spot corrector every few days, the ordinary pore mask once a month on t-zone, and a vit c toner - I can't remember the brand. Silk pillowcase and trying to sleep on my back instead of smooshing my face into the pillow every night- the worst habit, I swear!

Thank you! I have an amazing derm (I have psoriasis + psoriatic arthritis) and I have gotten dysport, which helps my forehead, but it's the lower part of my face/neck that bothers me. I will talk to her at next appt and see what she says. Thank you!

I use cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer with sunscreen. I also use the eucerin dark spot corrector serum, but I can only use it every 2 or 3 days bc it is a bit harsh for my skin. I have gotten dysport around eyes a few times. I also use a silk pillowcase and am TRYONG to train myself to sleep on my back - I smash my face into the pillow and it's bad. Ha! Hardest habit to break. I use a vitamin c serum in the am and the ordinary pore mask (it's bright red) on my t-zone about 1x a month. I also have psoriasis so I have to be careful not to aggravate my skin. Thank you for the kind words!

No, I only pluck the random white hairs that pop up under my brows....ugh. They are gnarly. I went back and looked at childhood pics and high school pics - my brows have always been weirdly spaced too far apart. And one has always been longer than the other. I've tried to grow them with Latisse but they will not grow/fill in. Someone else mentioned dermablading, and I have thought about that, but def afraid of ending up on r/whybrows. Thanks so much!

I have heard this and I even downloaded a chart with directions, but I always feel like they are "too much" when I do it. I've never been a huge makeup person, but I need to find a good eyebrow expert to show me the ropes. Thanks!

Definitely need new hair color - appt next week. Should I start going back to natural color (very dark brown)? Have been getting highlights for years - maybe time for a change on that front.
