aqua in a moment of vain madness and in anticipation of a special occasion I had filler in the lines between my nose and corners of my mouth and ended up with a neat row of needle bruises that accentuated it for weeks. I was so embarrassed! And the practitioner was a specialist doctor.

Then on another occasion I had botox in my frown lines and looked like I belonged in Star Trek - it had the effect where it sort of widened the bridge of my nose at the top (as my now weakened eyebrow muscles collapsed in the centre). Also, I can cock one eyebrow (it's genetic) and I couldn't do that with the botox. Didn't like that at all!

Never again.

In my defence, I have 5 glamorous sister-in-laws who are constantly getting their faces seen to and I succumbed to peer pressure grin

No experience but please have this done if you must by a reputable clinic and not the local beauty parlour. remember also you have to have it renewed every so often and the eventual cost can be high.

Has anyone tried Restylane filler? I have lines coming from my lips, probably because I used to smoke, and I am quite prepared for the discomfort etc., but I remember Leslie Ashe. Anyone got any experience?

The product I have found which helps the most is one to use under make up after you have cleaned, toned polished with your preferred products. its Clarins Instant Smooth (£25) a primer which evens out the lines and wrinkles so that make up goes on more smoothly- an illusion but it ia surprisingly good effect and a morale booster too.

Are you using eye care products? If you are not, using only facial skin care products could be not enough for the eye wrinkles. Try some eye care products, especially for wrinkle care. The eye treatments I’ve used are Caudalie Premier Cru The Eye Cream, IASO Total Eye Care Concentrate EX, and Kate Somerville Line Release Under Eye Repair Cream. Among them, I like the IASO eye cream the most because it is cheaper than other two, but still works well on moisturizing and relieving wrinkles around my eyes. This is the website I bought this one go-iaso.com/products/iaso-total-eye-care-concentrate-ex.

How do you take care of wrinkles on your face? Since it is so stressful to see the wrinkles especially around my eyes these days, I want to know what I should do with them or what products I should use for them.
