I don’t know about you but I think that smiling and laughing really aged me. Although the dermatologist told me those are expression lines but to me, they’re pure plain dreaded wrinkles and fine lines! In fact, I had this strange thought that I can probably look younger if I didn’t smile and laugh so much in the past! So you can bet I have serious doubts that facial exercises can prevent wrinkles. And it looks like I’m not alone having this thought because Paula Begoun also thinks likewise.

Is it a good idea to mix and match skincare products? Or should we just stick to products from the same brand since they are always said to work synergistically together?

Is it practical?
In the past when I used to rely mostly on commercially available skincare products, I tried to use products from the same range because I thought they would enhance one another in terms of delivering benefits to my skin. For example getting the serum and the moisturizer from the same brand. But increasingly, I’m finding this too restrictive and in certain cases, quite impossible especially in view that not all the products under the same brand perform well.
