Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

My hairdresser (who is also an aesthetician) has a lovely smooth complexion even being over 60.

She told me years ago to take Vitamin E capsules or oil every night and massage into the "lines" of my face -- around the eyebrows and around the mouth. She said to rotate around and then go up. About 20 times.

I'm seconding/thirding/fourting/etc what the other ladies have said:

*nutrition
*essential oils in your diet (as well as in anything you do choose to put on your face and hands)
*decent physical movement throughout the day
*NO soap on the face - splash with water; exfoliate as needed (I just use a washcloth); I personally pat dry with a clean towel (


Moisturizer can be added to just the spots you need as well. My grandmother (will be 90 in a few days) has a few spots on her face that need moisturizer or they dry up FAST, yet she has other spots that if they get a drop of moisturizer, they flare up with acne in hours. So she spot-moisturizes.
