One of my best friends is a 57 years old woman. she has the most beautiful skin I have ever seen. She is black and her secret is that every day she uses a tiny bit if Vaseline around her eyes. There isn't a wrinkle on that face and she looks more beautiful than many younger women I have met. When Emi was born my thyroid function was lost completely and the first symptom was that my skin dried up. I was so jealous because she is 10 years older than me and her skin looked so much better than mine. That made me go to the Dr and find out that I had not had thyroid hormone for quite some time. I took the pills and solve the problem, but her skin still looks better.
