Getting "older" is kind of a weird thing, huh? Having just turned 30 this summer, I am really busy trying to look younger and older all at once. Based on my recent experience, it seems like this is the age where people contradictorily warn you about getting your you know what together, and making sure you don't start looking your age. It's a rather bipolar time.
When I am not spewing out my thoughts on the internet, I spend my time working as an attorney. Having recently hit five years of practicing law, there is a lot of pressure for me to figure out where my career is going and what my future aspirations are in the realm of my career. I can no longer merrily jump from job to job (in five years of practicing, I have had four jobs). Youthful indulgences of "trying to figure myself out" are no longer so easily forgiven.
It is kind of the same thing with your skin. Up until a few years ago, all kind of little indulgences were accepted by my face. Stayed up too late partying and did not wash your face? That's okay- No zits for you! Didn't have time to exfoliate? That's okay with your pores! They will take care of everything- no blackheads for you! Spent a little too much time in the sun? Not a problem- no hyperpigmentations for you!
For me, my day of reckoning with regards to these particular issues came a little early- when I was about 25, my skin started to go a little crazy in the breakout department and decided to make up for lost time missed when I did not suffer teenage acne. And now that I've hit 30, I still suffer from some of the same issues, but I have had to add a different concern to the mix- it is time to start worrying about preventing wrinkles.
Fortunately, I've managed to put together a routine, after ages of trial and error, that works for me. That's why it is exciting to me when I find something new and affordable like Olay Total Effects with Cooling Hydration that works right into my routine without dredging up old concerns (acne) and simultaneously addressing new ones (wrinkles). Ironically, when you really need to start addressing your skin care concerns with more gusto, you have a lot of competing interests for your time, you know like a husband, a child, a career! This is why it is great to have a product that addresses all of these concerns in one, and why I'm appreciating something with 7 different anti-aging benefits in one formula. Not to mention, it is nice to not have to keep researching new products.
