She’s 54 and her skin is really starting to sag and wrinkle a lot. She has used an SPF 50 sunscreen as her facial moisturizer for YEARS. I have been researching some anti-wrinkle moisturizers and think I found one I want her to try. How do I tell her this without offending her?

You can also buy her a gift certificate for a facial as a thank-you gift for something and ask an aesthetician at a spa to recommend/sell her one.
Xmas is coming up, buy it as a present…
I couldn’t imagine telling my mother she needed to get anti wrinkle cream! She’ll probably be nagging at me to get some in about 20 years time!
Maybe she does not care at all. I am sure she looks in the mirror now and then and sees all these creams in the shops and reads mags and watches TV.
Maybe you could ask her what would suit you best as prevention ?
Ask her for HER advice concerning you ?
An indirect way to get to know how she feels about aging.
A christmas present might be a good choice but she might feel secretly offended also.
just tell her you got a free product from work or something [or from a friend] that you don’tt want . ask her if she would like it. when she uses it, compliment her skin.
or if you would prefer to not lie. tell her you brought her a present or something.
Buy her one as a Christmas Present , Get her a Gift Certificate for a anti aging facial… are ideas.
Women are usually very insecure about aging skin , she most likely already knows she needs to use one so be very nice about it , let her know shes still as beautiful as ever , and that maybe its time she took a little time out for her self and took care of her skin better , looking good always makes you feel good.
Anti-wrinkle moisturizers don’t work…period. As women get older they are supposed to wrinkle, its a part of life. I would suggest leaving your mother alone. If she wanted to do something about it she would have. Looking perfect isn’t everything. If she is comfortable in her skin, let her stay that way.
Moisturizers are good but I think supplements would better help her especially anti-oxidants, help her exercise and relax a lot. Youth comes from within, expensive facial creams won’t be as effective with stress and a bad diet.
Ask her what she uses and tell her you checked out one and thought it would would work good for her.
buy it for her as a gift. otherwise she might be offended. x
tell her that the products shes using really dont benefit her skin anymore and she should try some new stuff and tell her u found one that she might like and ask if she’d like to try it out. dnt just buy it and wrap it for the holidays.
id be mad if thats wat i got. but thats me.
hope this helps.
