Minx please let me know how the botox goes. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time.

I once worked with a lady who was addicted to botox. She looked permanently surprised.

@LookingForward Some time ago, I had a few skin problems and sought advice from my doc. She told me to stop using all types of soap and then she prescribed Dermol Lotion 500 for me to use as a soap substitute and general emollient. That must have been around 8yrs ago, maybe longer, and since then my dry/flaking skin fully recovered to how it used to be. I’m still prescribed the soap substitute every 4wks and I still use it during daily bathing/shower. As my wife’s carer, I also use it on her skin too :+1:

Well, it was not painful. The numbing cream works. The beginnings of fine wrinkles around my eyes have faded. I don’t look like an expressionless :expressionless: woman. :skull_and_crossbones:

I had a rederm profhilo as well and let me tell you, it’s sheer agony. The numbing cream does not work! I am yet to see the benefits. Apparently, I need to give it a month to see results. :069:

I guess the doctor’s talents are key. You know the old adage, you get what you pay for.

There’s a thing called “slugging” apparently made trendy on TikTok (I was told about it, I don’t do tiktok) whereby you slather your face in a good face cream, then after that dries a little bit, put vaseline all over your face. Do this overnight (and protect your pillows with a soft towel or an old pillow case) Wash your face as normal in the morning.

I tried it once and my face felt amazing! I need to do it more often now because I work in a very drying environment.
