I swear by Retin A but its a bitch to use. You have to find your own way of using it - but it really keeps wrinkles at bay. Why just the other night some poor child asked me if I was as old as 28 bwahahahaha. I suggested he make his next stop the eye doctor, but generally people think I'm about 10 yrs younger than I am, so it must be doing something.

Retin A and the fierce African sun do not an advisable combination make. Without sunblock, I would not be able to leave the house. Seriously. Think vampires who get fritzed by the sun.Or I'd have to give up on Retin A, and then my face would collapse into wrinkles like the Picture of Dorian Grey - nooooooooooooo

My hair is fried from all the peroxide (I think a few brain cells may have been included in the destruction). Here's the thing. I started going grey when I was 18 (platinum blond as a child, darker blond as I got older). Grey not so bad. The real problem is I have about 5 patches of normal coloured hair. No hairdresser has ever got it right - whatever covers the grey, makes the dark patches stand out even more. So eventually I grabbed the bleach in utter desperation, and voila - all hair is now the same colour. It's not ideal, but I don't know what else to do - any advice would be most welcome. Plus my hair is thinning from thyroid problems (oh getting older is so not for sissies).
