Night Time Face Routine

I find myself needing some stronger anti aging products these days and wanted to share with you some strong wrinkle fighters that I actually think are really helping my skin. I alternate the Dr. Brandt Glow (retinol) 3-4 days a week with the philosophy hope in a jar (glycolic acid cream). After really searching for something to keep my lips plump, I found this Peter Thomas Roth Un-wrinkle lip loaded with peptides. It stings a bit when you first put it on but I do feel my lips are plumper, even around the edges, so the "bleeding" lipstick effect is reduced. You definitely need to bump up your SPF use in the day to prevent sunburn and skin sensitivity. These products aren't the cheapest but I find they last months, and can usually find a coupon code. FYI: Philosophy.com site is up to 30% 0ff. I always loved a tan but am now paying the price with wrinkles and discoloration. Now I satisfy my need for color with self tanner and bronzing powder. (Model pic is from Polyvore....I wish I looked that good with no make up!)  Do you have any recommendations for products you feel work well on wrinkles...? Please share!

So it is supposed to be summer around here and it has at least warmed up, but we still are getting more than our share of rain here in New England. The crazy weather makes it a little harder get dressed in the morning. On the plus side, I got one or two more wears out of my trench coat! I almost never wear it in summer. Well, I hope the weather is better where you are living so you aren't cooped up inside with your little ones or hormonal teenagers if you have those!
