(high quality, food sourced supplements) A good nutritionist or some internet research may be of help.

Now the outside:
Look to using soaps/bodywash that do not contain:
Sodium Laurel Sulfate
Sodium Laureth Sulfate. (both of these are very harsh on the skin)
Synthetic Perfumes (very drying. Leave residue. Often in an alcohol base, which removes skin oils)

Be careful with things like hairspray or room deodorizer that you don't mist your arms as well as your hair or powder room.

Natural emollients (like Shea butter) or real plant oils (almond oil, olive oil and such) can be applied after you shower to lock in moisture for awhile and camouflage the crinkleys.
Plus, it's a nice way to nurture yourself!


Some of it may be hereditary and I do think that sleeping positions can crumple us up a bit if they are habitual.
But Gracie is right.... GO BLOOMERS. (that's exactly what she said.)
That is what I said. And we are all grown ups. Usually fun occurs when that happens.

NOW I am in trouble.

When I get thrown off of here for this and all of the political things I said today, will you all come visit me on facebook? Facebook isn't anywhere near as much fun as this forum!!
