Been taking 2 pills of Walgreens finest every day. And as I have mentioned in another post, I have seen some improvements. But today, one of them nearly made me jump for joy. Not sure if it is from taking it for a while, or if it was from adding the grape seed extract. I shaved my legs today in the shower with soap. This is usually very harsh on the skin. And results in dry, flaky, peeling skin. But right now, my legs are sooo soft! In fact, just realized today, that all my skin is! My skin right now is as plump, smooth, and soft as my 23 year old daughters. (But a little less plump in the face. Although my complexion is quite lovely.) And in the areas not exposed to the sun as much(underside of arms etc...), it is like a babies bottom! After I typed this I went to my daughter for a real time comparison on our arms. Both tops and underneath, mine were softer than hers! For real! She was the one to say that! You could not see any age difference in the majority of my skin (The missing facial plumpness gives me away.) But, my facial skin is much more plump than it used to be.
I am definately upgrading my resveratrol. Right now I am torn between 2 products. It was 3, but the third site trashed one of the other 2 sites ingredients. When will they learn that folks notice those things. Shame on them. Anyways, I may take 250mg micronized or 400mg 98% pure. This is where I am having difficulty deciding. The 400mg pills are only $35 for 60 pills. Not too shabby.
I am also thinking that even though my middle aged skin is oilier now, I should still use a face cream. I can sop up the excess with a face powder. And perhaps I am leaning towards the micronized. Why? I can combine it with walgreens provectin. For less than $30 you get a huge 6oz tube. It is their strivectin knockoff. Or I could buy the micronized for my face cream and the 400mg pills to ingest. Sounds like a plan!
