The core slikt of anti aging creams and other hydration products.

I can get like, one. But god damned, my wife has so many different products They can't all possibly be needed

Go to a place where it's sunny all the time. Then go to somewhere where it's cloudy all the time. You'll notice the difference when looking at older people's skins. So hydration and sunscreen are for sure helpful. All the other aging stuff... Dunno, but I think at least some of them are.

Hydration, sleep, proper nutrition, limited sun, and a bit of a cream/oil/barrier for those with naturally dryer skin is important. Stay away from things that cause you inflammation, like smoking, alcohol, and drugs, that cortisol will age you so fast.

Be careful she doesn't OD on anti-ageing serums and turn into a baby. It would be seriously annoying being married to a baby.

Reminds me of when I used an anti-wrinkle cream as a hand cream once. It anti-wrinkled the skin on my knuckles, so making a fist, the knuckle skin went so tight it started to tear.

I spilled some on my pug and he turned into a greyhound.

Bust a nut challenge. Difficulty- shot to hell if an attempt is even made

They’re mostly aqueous cream. You can do a lot with just a big tub of aqueous cream.
