Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate! Any moisturiser is wasted on dead skin. Apply moisturisers in gravity-defying upward strokes and eye creams by dabbing it in all around your eyes with your ring fingers.
Boots No 7 Future Renew is excellent stuff if you want to knock a few years off.
^^^ The No 7 website has further product suggestions from their range - but they're certainly not cheap!

I use Olay Retinol 24 Night face cream both night and day. It's usually half price in Sainsbury's at £19. I find it's the only moisturiser that has made any difference to my face. However, a beauty therapist friend has told me that retinol works by thinning the skin so erasing fine wrinkles. I'm 67 so if I can hold back the wrinkles for a few years I won't worry about thinning skin.
My recommendation is grow old disgracefully and enjoy doing so.
Don't bother trying to hide the fact.
Wrinkles, grey hair, saggy bits, etc.
All a part of aging, along with mountains of wisdom collected over the years that can be shared with those that need it.
Embrace your aging, share your collective knowledge.
All you old farts, stand up and be appreciated!!! #wrinkly old farts
I totally get this! The skin around the mouth is vulnerable because its thinner and always moving with our expressions. Thankfully, there are many gentle and effective alternatives to Botox that can help reduce fine lines. Have you tried out products that have hyaluronic acid or peptides? They have work wonders for some of us through good moisturization and collagen production support. Squalane, is my personal favorite, for hydrating and plumping the skin.
I have heard that non-invasive treatments like microneedling or LED light therapy can really go a long way to help stimulate collagen and tighten the skin. All in all always remember to apply sunscreen as those UV rays can be quite sneaky!
