Now that I'm 56, I'm noticing fine lines and things I didn't have even five years ago. I've been on a quest to find the absolute best beauty products you can buy that work with maturing skin. From makeup that doesn't settle into lines, to serums that...

Skincare

I've tried all the expensive and inexpensive options on the market. While nothing turns back time fully, these products were ones where I saw results.

Hands down the best way to get rid of my 11s that makes everyone ask if I'm angry is these frownies patches. Wear them all night for a week and then every few nights to see maximum results. I was thinking about Botox before I started using these.

Real-life results from this one. I'm in a bunch of groups with women my age and they are raving about this product. I just ordered it and can't wait to try it for my loosening skin and marionette lines. I'll keep you posted. Do you want to try it wit...

I like the silky way this serum makes my skin feel. I will dab it on everywhere sometime during the day for a quick refreshing pick-me-up.

I love all Korean skincare items. Glass skin isn't really achievable at my age and with my dry skin, but I definitely notice a huge difference in the moisture levels. Also, drink your water!

These are a game changer! I love to watch Shark Tank and saw these on an episode of the show. I thought the premise was interesting and ordered them,  not really expecting them to work. They smoothed my undereyes so very much! I was astonished. 

I couldn't wear them overnight as some people suggest. They were uncomfortable. However, I can put them on and lay down for  a midday rest and they do amazing. You can also wear them while doing other things. They stay on pretty good and last for about 15-20 wears, which makes them reasonable.

At 56, it's all about moisture. I try to do a face mask a couple of times a week. I'll wear it while I'm cleaning hose. I do them for my feet, too!

If you want glowing skin, it starts on the inside. Drink your water. I recently bought a Cirkul water bottle and I'm obsessed. It is delicious and I'm drinking twice as much water as I was. They also had a cute rose gold one, and you know how much I ...

These are a must for blending, especially under the eyes. Clean them once a week or more.

My life will never be the same after discovering tubing mascara. This is my favorite brand because it doesn't flake and it makes my lashes look LONG. If I want drama, I wear black and if I want an everyday look I go for the charcoal color.

Either throw them out or clean those makeup sponges and brushes. Your skin will thank you.

I now use a Wet ‘n’ Wild color corrector. It comes in different shades. It is a liquid, so it doesn't settle into my lines. I pair it with a sponge and it covers my horrible dark circles pretty well.

I didn't love the IT brand but I have friends who swear by it and it looks great on them. My guess is that if your skin is normal or oil, it works good on you. I found it too clumpy and drying. I use a cheap yellow now, which is also linked if you ha...

I was late to the game trying this but it is perfection on older skin. It isn't drying and gives me a youthful glow. It also lasts for hours. I had to try a couple of them to get the right shade. They go on much lighter than they look like they would...

You've probably seen their FB ads for this brand. I love it. It matches my light neutral skintone perfectly and is creamy. I don't wear it everyday, but on the days when I want a little coverage under my eyes for those circles and am in a rush, it's ...

Haircare

My daughter is a stylist. She has lectured me on proper hair care until I can't stand to buy just anything. My hair, like my skin, is dry. These are my favorite brands. Oh! I'm also losing hair due to weight loss and age. So, these make it look thick...

My hair was damaged from highlighting it before my daughter started doing it for me. This helped rescue my hair and I still use it from time to time.

My daughter keeps saying I need to switch to something else and come back to this, but I love it. It is hydrating without weighing my fine hair down.

Heat was destroying my hair. I have a tendency to straighten my Irish waves. This gives me a soft look that is wavy instead of frizzy but protects my hair. I throw it on while doing my makeup and getting ready and the take it out before I leave or ju...
