Thursday; elderly skin...

[ozarque]

You may remember that back in 2010 [For me, The Year From Hell] I was doing a lot of whining in this journal about the way the endless series of catastrophes I had to deal with that year was destroying my face. I was really upset about it, because when I looked in the mirror what I saw struck me as total devastation

I am glad to hear your face is back to normal and that your stress load has lightened enough for that to happen. I, too, have a lot to put behind me with 2010 so I know what you mean. My face looks ok but my other skin is looking like crepe now. :(

Maybe it will improve too.

That is very good news indeed. As someone who suffers from acne rosacea, I know about the link between stress and skin troubles, but it's nice to know that some, at least, of the effects of aging on skin can be reversed when situations get better.

I'm also glad that now your situation is better enough that you can see the improvement.

I'm delighted. Here's hoping that this is an omen of 2011 being less infernal than its predecessor.

Seconded!

Hear, hear!

Ditto!

Hurrah! A hopeful sign for many of us.

Thanks for your candor here.

I was noticing something similar with my 46-year-old face--illness and bereavement made me very wrinkly all of a sudden, which surprised me--so it's good to know that resilience continues.
