l live in Spain. l am approaching 50 have oily nose forehead chin-cheeks are normal but have post acne scaring. I have wrinkles around eyes and laughter lines. Face and neck are starting to lose elasticity and starting to sag. I am in the menopause and still get the odd hot flush. I like Clinique as try others yet always go back to it. I like dramatically different yellow moisturizer but do i need something more now aging? I have my own lemon trees in my garden would cutting one in half evening and putting on my cheeks help firmness and acne scarring? THANKYOU
Because you're going through menopause, the oestrogen decreases in your body which causes also your skin to loose firmness. I would suggest to take a herbal hormone balancing supplements. They contain plant oestrogen that will help to keep your skin nice and firm.
I also recommend to take essential fatty acids, fishoil or flaxseed. It will help to keep your skin moist and supple from the inside.
I haven't heard about using a fresh lemon on your skin, but I guess it won't hurt. I swear by my Vitamin C serum against scarring, uneven skin tone, pigmentation and wrinkles. I find Vitamin C is a super vitamin. Inside and out! Let me know how it goes with the Lemon. I would be interested to know.
If you are interested in an anti aging treatment. You could use the red light therapy to act against scarring, pigmentation and wrinkles. Read more about Anti Aging Red Light Therapy.
