Wrinkling in the skin is caused by habitual facial expressions, aging, sun damage, smoking, poor hydration, and various other factors. The best for preventing wrinkles is drinking a lot of water. Then use a quality cream as this.

I’ve found that my skin feels better and seems less dry when I am getting in my healthy mono fats. Most noticeable when I start adding 1-2tbsp daily of oil like flax, but taking my fish oil pills would probably be the same (I’m just not as consistent about that).

I saw a woman today at the cafe who looked absolutely stunning – shoulder length grey hair, generally slender, aging but not sagging or overly wrinkled face…. I guessed her at mid-50’s, until she said she voted for Kennedy and was 69. Wow.

I love Bronner’s soaps! I used to have cracked and bleeding hands from November to April. Since I have been taking Marks Master Formula multi-vitamin, eating a primarily Phase 1 diet, using Bronner’s soaps, and taking Omega 3 capsules, my hands have never looked or felt better! I have been doing this for almost 2 years now.

Oh my God! I love lotions and creams.. I can’t just get rid of it that easy.

In answer to Ailu about what I like about squalane and emu oil:

Pros and Cons
They are both anti-inflammatory oils.
They are both fairly expensive.
I have to order both online (although I sometimes find emu oil at local farmer’s markets in my area).

In general, I prefer the squalane because it is very light and absorbs quickly. I found a place in CA that offered a “buy 3 get 4″ special the last time I ordered it. It is still expensive, but costs less than the total of all the products it replaced, and it has simplified my routine to use just one thing twice a day rather than several.

I do use soap, but NOT “anti-bacterial” soap. The anti-bacterial soap takes off also the good bacteria, which you don’t want.

Son of Grok,
I use vaseline, too. My winters are so cold and i use vaseline instead of chapstick and it immediately relieves dry hands from cold days when i’m outside. I like it.

Interesting about the squalane and emu oil, Judy. What do you like best about each of them?
