stryvectin Works for Me

I'm a week into my trial of stryvectin.

If you have been following me, you know what when it arrived I almost thought I had ordered the wrong product, because the box had all this stuff on it for stretch marks. I almost left it in my daughter's medicine cabinet, because she wears bikinis and I don't. But then I realized she has no stretch marks, so I got over my feeling of weirdness and put it on my face.

Well, I am here to tell you it works.  In fact, this morning I look at my face after I'ved washed it with plain water, put on the stryvectin, and then applied the foundation/sunscreen (Neutrogena Healty Skin Enhancer) that I always wear, and I think perhaps I look too flawless for a woman my age, and perhaps not "natural."

This is a big problem for women who are addicted to beauty treatments. Can we look too flawless and thus look fake? I never want to look like one of those women who has had too much work done, which is why I avoid the knife.  Wouldn't it be ironic if the skin creams got good enough to produce the same effect?

On another note, I sat through two more hours of mini-torture over the weekend to have my lips tattooed again.  I had so much sun damage that it hardly took the first time, but this time looks more promising.  Yes, I swelled up like Julia Roberts again, but I am coming down nicely.  Now if the color just doesn't fade out the way it did last time...
