Bedtime Face Care Routine
Most of our good looks come from genetics, but since almost no one (and we will steal the souls of those who are) is immune to wrinkles, we have developed a comprehensive bedtime skincare regimen that we follow no matter how tipsy we may be. ("You don't drink!")
Picture us at our side-by-side sink, Daddy and Daddy together again!
- Zihr Alpha Hydroxy Acid facial cleanser, scrub and mud mask
- Biore Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser
- Boots Botanics Conditioning Clay Mask
- Biore pore strips - one Daddy is obsessed with pore strips and examining what comes out with them. The other Daddy claims his pores are too clean for these to work. But I say, the proof is in the pore strip. Whip one out.
- Moisturizer. Daddy is still stuck in acne phase, and she uses Clean & Clear dual action moisturizer. And we always use SPF. Hello, wrinkle prevention. Every day, we wish and hope and save our pennies to be able to one day slather our faces, hands and everything else in La Mer. Until that day, we will just moisturize our faces with tears of regret.
And most importantly, our favorite wrinkle creams (retinol fights wrinkles AND blemishes which is important for a Daddy)
- Neutrogena Ageless Intensives Deep Wrinkle Filler (I swear it reduces baby wrinkles in 24 hours)
- Prescription Differin Gel (adapolene is the generic, Daddyyyyy!)
- Frownies. Buy them at Whole Foods. Adhere to face. Sleep. They keep you from crinkling and cramping up your face at night, great for think wrinkles (we get lots of those). You can also get wrinkles from sleeping on the same side every night, so take care of that by switching sides in the family bed.
There is one anti-wrinkle remedy that we are curious about but are too scared to try and this is Preparation-H. Jennifer Aniston apparently swears by it - and Daddy wouldn't kick her out of bed! Every time we are in the store, we loiter by the hemorrhoid cream, read the drug interaction label and get scared away by the tingling and burning it promises. But that is what Retinol does, right? And Daddy loves to know that it is worrrrking. So, perhaps our next blog post will be on butt cream as eye cream.
