  73. Drink plenty of water, moisturize daily, and wear sunscreen when out in the sun.

  74. Great Giveaway!!

  75. I keep in mind that getting older means you have survived. One thing I did was to stop any form of tanning, solar or mechanical. It’s very detrimental to your looks and is a cancer risk.

  76. The aging process is coming upon me quick. I am starting to see wrinkles.

  77. I’ve definitely neglected my skin – time to play catch-up!

  78. Being a victim of the aging process, I can tell you I am not very fond of it….but when you consider the alternative, it can be accepted. :-) I do have a routine that includes cleansers and moisturizers daily in the hopes of retarding the inevitable. Thank you.

  79. i drink a lot of water – you’ve got to stay hydrated to stay young

  80. With age comes “wisdom” which I like. But, the wrinkle and sagging skin is horrible. I drink half my body weight in water each day. This seems to plump my skin and wash out the toxins.

  81. I have been using AminoGenesis Therapeutic Facial Repair Formula. I would like to try some of their other products.

  82. Age is a state of mind, and if you possess a strong sense of inner confidence and happiness, it will allow you shine and glow from within! I don’t ever settle for being ordinary, but rather I find passion in constantly seeking opportunities for bringing out the best in me that I possibly can by being open to participating in new activities and trying new things to keep myself feeling young at heart and feeling great about the way I look. Whether this means revamping my workout routine and kicking it up a notch, or experimenting with new beauty products to redfine and bring out my best facial features, this keeps me aging fabulously! I think we all look into that mirror and still see ourselves as that bright eyed 16 year old that we once were and if you live your life with that same carefree, light hearted spirit that you had back when you were 16 you will live a much more content and satisfying life!

  83. I am Subscribed to your mailing list.

    Thanks!

  88. I am 51 and have always looked young for my age that is until the last few years when I worked 3 jobs just to make ends meet and I never got enough sleep. So the most important thing for looking younger is adequate rest, water, your skin needs it and moisturizer.

  89. I wash my face in the morning, with facial scrubs, and it boosts my mood, and when Im ok happy, I look younger.

  90. I do not mind aging I will not inject poison in my skin or allow a doctor to cut. But I will try some products they may not have the same affect but I just like my face to feel smooth. I smile and that is how I stay young looking.

  91. Who wants to age? Not really fair, but you have to do it! So I figure if I have to I might as well make the best of it. I drink plenty of water, exercise, try to get enough sleep and keep my face clean. Thanks for the contest!! :)

  92. I’m a little scared every time I pluck out a silver hair! Age isn’t that bad actually- you’re only as young as you feel! I try to eat healthy and relax when times get tough. I also do not smoke. Who wants to age prematurely because of smoking?! Thanks for the entry!

  93. I drink lots of water and wear moisturizer and sunscreen

  94. The #1 thing I do for my skin is to stay out of the sun!

  97. My thoughts about the aging process…..I HATE it. My hair’s gone gray, my eyes are shot, everything is sagging, and hair just magically appears in places I never dreamed of. When did I get this old????

  98. I try to eat healthy meals, drink lots of water, exercise every other day, and minimize stress. Hopefully these efforts will be rewarded with better skin

  109. I am 29 years old and I started noticing some things going down hill. I hate getting older, I want to stay young forever.

  110. I just turned 32 and I haven’t taken much care of my skin (or even given it much thought in the past). Now that I’m getting older, I’ve decided I need to start a skin care regimen before it’s too late! I’m still researching, though. :)

  111. I’m 45 and I need help with my skin

  112. I’m 51 and am truly surprised by what the aging process entails. I guess it’s one thing to see others growing older but when it’s YOU…
    My skin is losing its elasticity, my hair ditto, age spots are appearing. While I appreciate the added wisdom that experienced years bring us, I’m not too keen on the physical aspects LOL

  113. Lather on lotion before you sleep. That’s what I depend on.
