Q: Dear Dr. Peredo,
My husband is taking me to St. Barth’s for our 15th anniversary, and while trying on swimsuits I’ve noticed a distinct loss of elasticity on my thigh area. How can I help smooth and tighten up?
--Helen
- A: Dear Helen,
  From age 35 on, we start losing collagen, fat, and even bone, contributing to loss of elasticity. A product such as Olay Total Effects Deep Penetrating Moisture Anti-Aging Body Wash moisturizes deeply, lightens, and brightens dull skin. And if you’re going to the beach, don’t forget sunblock!
Q: Dear Dr. Peredo,
I live in a very warm, dry climate and I’m really concerned about dry, scaly skin on my arms and legs. I moisturize daily but it doesn’t improve noticeably. Can you offer any advice?
--Serena
- A: Dear Serena,
  What you think is dryness could be dead skin buildup. Try to take cooler showers (very hot water can dry out the skin). Also, assess your shower regimen – an exfoliating body wash could really help your skin. A new product to try is Olay Total Effect Exfoliate and Replenish Body Wash.
Q: Dear Dr. Peredo,
I’ll admit – I went to a lot of tanning booths in the past. Now there’s discoloration in my chest area. What causes this and what I might do to combat it?
--Vanessa
- A: Dear Vanessa,
  The tanning salon is bad. But admitting it is part of the solution! Always use sunblock to avoid cumulative sun damage, and try incorporating over-the-counter products with anti-aging benefits into your daily routine, which can help with discoloration.
Q: Dear Dr. Paredo,
I just turned 50, and I’m noticing that my skin looks increasingly dull and lifeless. I take good care of myself, always wear sunscreen, and have begun using anti-aging products. What are some other ways to restore my more youthful glow?
--Julia
- A: Dear Julia,
  As we’ve covered here, moisturizing and exfoliating are key to younger-looking skin. It’s also important to have a well-balanced diet. Get some form of exercise daily, whether it’s at the gym or on the dance floor. Try eating more salmon, salads, and avocado (all rich in Omega 3 oils), drink lots of fluids, and consider a daily multi-vitamin to keep your body healthy and happy.

My skin is aging...
"at such a rapid rate it's almost alarming! It really started to accerate when I turned 50 ( I'm almost 53 now ) and it's positively frightening, especially the dark circles & bags under my eyes. My skin overall is extremely dried out and I seem to find a new wrinkle evry day. I'm hoping if I win this It may help stop the skin-skidding downhill syndrome, lol!"

Olay Total Effects Anti-Aging Body Wash.
"I was fortunate enough to receive a very small sample of this wonderful miracle body wash. I have only used it perhaps once a week and am very close to the bottom of the bottle. Anything that says, "Anti-aging" is a must, right?"

I Just don't know what to do!
"I've just turned 50 but, I've noticed for more that a year that I have had repeatedly adult acne which leaves very dark blemishes. I use a very good line of products but when I get the acne I have to treat that then when the acne dries I have to use a different product to treat the blemishes. It's seems to be a repetitive cycle. Is there anything that I can use to have beautiful, clear and even toned skin, and use the same product daily?"

Heart of mine - post on 20:03 on 07/20/2010

"I got a facial last week and was told that I needed a chemical peel--I look forward to getting one as soon as possible. I am over 50 and this was my first visit to a day SPA. (It was wonderful!!!)

could be a new "stand-by"
"My body and face look great for my age without plastic surgery or botox. In fact I started wearing a two-piece bathing suit a few years ago and my daughters and friends applauded. I have taken care of my skin from the time I was 16 and now I reap the benefits. I used to buy expensive creams and lotions but have found that companies like Olay have affordable skicare that works just as well as the pricey ones."

I'm 55 years old and my skin has been oily since I remember and also suffering acne all the time, I thought pimples were only for teenagers but I'm still suffering of it. If I use pimple medications they're too harsh for my skin and I start peeling however if I don't my face looks shinny for the oil and pimples, black & white heads appear on my face.... Please help!"

The Olay line has always been a reliable staple staple for the women in my family so I can't wait to try this one. "

Wipe off the Old, In with the New
"Exfoliation is the one thing that will HELP your skin rejuvenate faster. When I slack off on my day and night routine, in less than 2 weeks I notice that my face is darker than normal. My Skin doesn't look like it glows anymore. That's when I know I've got to get back to the basics. Olay Definity Exfoliation Facial Scrub is my GO TO product. After two days of using this scrub in the morning, my skin is back to glowing again. I don't know what's in the Exfoliation scrub but it feels so refreshing and my skin is so smooth after using it for as little as 2 days. I started using Olay when I was 11 and I will continue to use Olay products through my 50's and beyond!"

Not 25 anymore
"So many of us are so reluctant to change. It seems as is the most change that comes about is to do nothing. Aging is a change and with that change our bodies requires more attention. When we give ourselves that attention we start to respect what we have by taking better care and the improvements come. Both physically and mentally. It's amazing how that all works together. I love to pamper my skin. It makes me look good as well as feel good. I also love it when other people notice. It's special because I am 56."

"I am a 70 years young Wife, Mother, Grandmother and full time Real Estate Agent. I have been blessed with good health and endless energy. I have a very active and busy schedule and love every minute of it. I take time to care for myself and I am told that I look at least ten years younger. I started using Olay products about six months ago and have been very pleased with the results. I would love to try the new anti-aging body wash. "

A Chance

"I grew up at the beach in Southern California before there was any talk of the damaging effects of so much sun exposure or the need for protection. As a result at 67 my skin really shows it. Any help I can get is a godsend. I love Olay products."

"After 72 years of being out in the sun as much as possible, I'd be grateful for any & all help available to banish saggy, dry skin! Rush some deep penetrating moisture & anti-aging body wash, SAP. Thank you for the good advice given in your article."

Olay's always finding the answers!
"Now that I've retired, I feel as if I finally have time to do the best I can with what I am. Olay's products are my faves in almost every way. A firming body wash would absolutely fit in with their wonderful facial products, so I definitely want to try it!"

yyoerger - post on 16:45 on 07/01/2010

Olay comes through
"Leave it to Olay to come through with the latest! Having always had dry skin, I've been using basic Olay moisturizer for at least 30 years, and credit it to a large part for comments I often get about looking 10 years younger than I am. And of course hasn't stayed stagnant those 30 years; it has grown with the times with a whole range of choices for those of us who have "grown up" with the products."

Some days dry skin...some days oily...
"I just turned 50 the end of May, and have noticed that some days my skin feels quite dry, and other days, oily...I am still getting the occasional breakout on my face (really???)...and the lotion I use changes depending on how my skin "feels"...I would love to try a new product designed especially for the needs of the "over 50" crowd...thanks to Olay for creating such a wonderful product...I do feel "Fab over Fifty" and hope to continue feeling this way!"

Olay Total Effects is the BEST!
"I have been using the Olay Total Effect Fragrance Free UV Facial Moisturizer since it first came out, and I love it. It's light weight but completely hydrating, and the UV protection is a must. I can imagine that another product from the Total Effects line would be great, and would love a chance to find out for myself."
