I am not sure if for someone like me, who leaves home without make-up (only apply sunblock), can my face elasticity last longer w/o applying cream?

i leave home without makeup, just lipstick and sunblock.

That's what my mum does too & she also asked me to at least put on lipstick before leaving home but I don't have the habit (or just plain lazy)

Don't worry, when you see the lines appearing you will automatically start doing diligently. Lol!

I think I saw. Especially around the eyes area. Recently, I WhatsApp my friend our CNY family photo, I mosaic my eyes cos I think I looked awful. :rotflmao:

Every night I tell myself I will start tomorrow, may I know how to change my lazy ways

I started when I met a former neighbour. She was beautiful, youthful looking and svelte despite having a teenager and a preteen. Met her again three years later and while she was still svelte, she looked as if she had aged by 10 years.

My guess is you have not yet found a product that you truly like and want to use.

Applying skincare is like going for exercise. Get it into ur routine n can continue from there.


Snacking on tomatoes keeps skin looking good too!

Eversince I started exercising daily, skin complexion has been rosy. U guys should try it too instead of relying on makeup to look good.

I agree with you on the above.
Since I started swimming almost daily, I hardly catch a cold or cough.

My hubby has the habit of pointing out poorly maintained ladies to me. Acts as a motivation. Heng he still thinks I look like late 20s. Until today still have ppl promoting wedding packages to us when we go out without kids.

Im the stingy type. Pay for maintenance is enough to push me to go exercise. My girl also energy bunny.

I'm lazy too - I use shower gel to wash my face, Nivea moisturiser/sunblock, and nothing else. Recently, I started using a cream at night which is supposed to reduce pigmentation, but not sure it works. But genes, sleep and a reasonably healthy diet does help.

Better not, as shower gel is generally too acidic for the more delicate skin on our faces. May cause lines to appear earlier

I do use shower gel on my face too; convenience; all at one go

Sleep and diet, yes. But I believe genes expire after 30. Perhaps you didn't spend a lot of time in the sun when younger and consistently so thereafter. That really helps to maintain beautiful skin after 30, along with the other factors.
