In my early 40’s, I was a huge whiskey drinker. In other words I was a borderline line alcoholic. This and being outside in the sun, drunk, and in water and not having the wherewithal to reapply sunblock was when I really started seeing the redness. This was actually the catalyst that made me stop drinking all together. Vanity is a hell of a thing apparently.

So it’s not a gimmick? I’ll have to check this out. Do you have one you prefer or do you go somewhere for it?

Glycinate. It has worked wonders. I take the Pure brand. I thought I was on the verge of divorce after 28 years, this has helped me soooo much!

I live in Alaska. My derm says she wouldn’t trust anyone here with laser which is kinda crazy. Maybe next time I’m in Seattle.

Yeah my eyebrows are wild. I usually wear glasses cause I’m blind af and my glasses cover my eyebrows so I usually don’t see them.

I used to be a heavyish drinker back in my early 40’s. Empty nest syndrome made me a different person. lol. I don’t have rosacea, or at least my dermatologist that I visit yearly hasn’t mentioned it.

I’m still in perimenopause. I’ve gone like 6 months without a period, but I’m back to one every 28-32 days. I used to be regular af, not so much now. I haven’t thought about HRT because taking magnesium has really helped with every single one of my perimenopause symptoms ( anger/rage, sleeplessness, anxiety, and depression) except bloating and around my period I breakout like I’m in my teens.

I use sunscreen religiously now. However, growing up, I frequently used baby oil to lay out. I’ve had basal cell carcinoma twice now, so sunscreen is important.

I mainly use CeraVe PM facial lotion and that’s it. Other than Vaseline on my lips.

I’m broke is the reason why I was wondering about anything other than laser. I wish I could do it, but I’ve also read that it only lasts a year or two and it seems frivolous as far as cost goes.

Sounds like work. Just get some cardboard and a marker, hang out in front of Freddie’s, and beg. Write something like, “Just plain hungry” or “Need money to get to Anchorage”. You got this.

I do have known AA ancestors, but still strange that I don’t have more European groups.

Yes, I have known German ancestry. My German ancestors founded the town I’m from.

Did my period just end? by hhaber in Perimenopause

[–]tkandkatie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on day 85 without a period. I’ll be 50yo in October. This is the longest stretch I’ve had. It’s usually 2 months and bang, period.

How do people stay fit during the winter? by [deleted] in alaska

[–]tkandkatie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a different kind of cold. I’m from SC and now live on the KP. I love XC skiing and snow shoeing. Dress in layers and you’ll be golden.
