This question is based on a general research on women's (in their late 20's)perception on anti ageing creams?

(m)\n\nAre we wasting our money or can they really do anything to repair the damage? \n\nWell, the ingredients found within many anti-ageing products do have proven effects on the skin. \n\nVitamin A can help diminish the depth of wrinkles, thanks to its light inflammatory action which 'puffs up' the skin to make wrinkles look less deep. \nVitamin C has a brightening effect as it can help to boost circulation and collagen production. \nAlpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs or 'fruit acids') improve the skin's appearance by speeding up the shedding of old, dead cells from the skin surface. \nRetinoids are chemicals that make the skin produce new cells more quickly, making it thicker and more compact. After a month or two of use, the skin becomes smoother and fine wrinkles are reduced, but after six months it will be as good as it's going to get. If you discontinue use, the skin reverts to its previous condition. Has no effect on noticeable deep lines or thread veins. \nIn theory then, creams containing these substances should work to some degree

I do not know why, but maybe our approach to it.  I took soy pills, and drank soy milk, but not every day.  Also I was not dreading it, like many women I know, so it might be mental.  I was really looking forward to not having to carry a suitcase of pads and tampons, and having cramps, and PMS every month, and not worrying about birth control.  Maybe just thinking life after menopause would be better made it easier, a mental thing.  I maybe had one hot flash, and none of the other bad things.  Also my mom did not have a bad one, so maybe it might be genetic too.

Use the lotions they have now with a small amount of self tanner in them. In about two weeks you'll have a really nice, even, natural looking cancer free tan that won't age you one bit. I use them and they work great. I don't do the lying out in the sun thing anymore. I'd rather be white as ghost and still look 25 when I'm 45 than worship the sun and look like a raisin by the time I'm 35.

1st heard of it on CSI. I thought it was just a fictional topic used to make a good story line for the show. However, my curiosity was peaked so I found tons of websites on it. It is definitely not something that I would ever consider doing, but it is said to be very healthy and can treat and cure an array of ailments. It is said that it is also considered to be the "fountain of youth" to some people. I will stick with regular medications and anti-aging cream.

I think that is because all the studies in the past such as heart disease were done on men only,  So, they may be trying to get data now on how medicine effects woman.  There really should always be three studies going on at all times, one for men, one for woman and one for children.

Yes they really do work here is a great article that explains a study that was done recently. I'm not sure about artifical phermones. You might want to email the people who did this study to find out more. Sorry.\n\n\n\n  When a Woman Smells Best\nBy Sara Goudarzi\nSpecial to LiveScience\nposted: 18 January 2006\n07:52 am ET\n \n \n\nThe scent of a woman is more attractive at certain times of the month, suggests a new study that had men sniffing women's armpit odor. \n\n"We were interested whether armpit odor changes across menstrual cycle," said study author Jan Havlieek of the Department of Anthropology at Charles University, Prague. "To test this, we asked a group of women to wear cotton pads in their armpits for 24 hours."\n\nThe women didn't wear perfumes, use deodorants, eat spicy or smelly foods, smoke, drink alcohol or use hormonal contraceptives such as the pill. Body odor was collected during three phases: menstrual (at the beginning); follicular (between the first day of menstruation and the onset of ovulation); and luteal (the fertile stage).\n\n"The fresh pads were subsequently rated for their attractiveness and intensity by a group of 42 men," Havlieek told LiveScience. \n\nThe most attractive smells, men said, were from the time between the first day of menstruation and ovulation. \n\nThe cycle\n\nThe typically 28-day menstrual cycle involves the physiological changes that occur in a woman to prepare for a possibility of pregnancy. It is controlled by the reproductive hormone system. \n\nA cycle is divided into four parts and starts on the first day of menstruation, which is the shedding of tissue and blood from the womb.  In the follicular phase, a dominant ovarian follicle—which is a sack that contains the ova, or egg—grows, becoming ready to ovulate. The mature egg is then released in the phase known as ovulation around day 12. The cycle ends with the fertile phase. \n\nAlthough many men would tell you they're always in the mood, Havlieek and colleagues discovered that men find odors during the follicular phase the most attractive and least intense. On the other hand, the highest intensity smells, corresponding to the lowest attractiveness for men, were found during the time of menstrual bleeding.\n\n "Traditionally it's believed that ovulation in human female is concealed and there are no changes in attractiveness across the cycle," Havlieek said.\n\nThe study is detailed in the January issue of the journal Ethology. \n\nFurther sniffing\n\nTwo other studies by different research teams came to similar conclusions. But those investigationsused T-shirts for odor sampling, "making it difficult to pinpoint the source of the smell," said Havlieek, whose team restricted sampling to armpits only. \n\nFinally, the attractiveness of women's faces also changes during the month.\n\nHavlieek's team found that facial images of women in the follicular phase—when the dominant ovarian follicle is getting ready to ovulate—are considered more attractive as compared to images taken in the luteal or fertile phase of the cycle.\n\nThe researchers hope to find out which chemical compounds are responsible for the odor changes across a woman's menstrual cycle

As a woman gets older she undergoes hormonal changes.  Probably at the age of 25 some women start to notice this hair growth on their face, neck and chin.  Most women pluck these hairs as they appear and some women undergo electrolysis to have them removed.  It is just part of the wonderful things that happen to a woman's body as she ages.  If a woman has a hysterectomy; the process is sped up.  In today's society, people tend to prefer that women do not have these facial hairs.  There are over the counter products like Nair that remove these unwanted hairs but most of these chemicals leave burns.  Better yet, go to your local beautician and they will help you with your problem (That is if you consider it a problem.).  If the hair doesn't bother you.  Who cares what is socially acceptable.

I have heard horror stories about the use of restalyne injected into the flesh.  But worse is the psychological ramifications of trying to change your appearance.  My advice is to grow old with grace and dignity.

Rogaine makes a product for women.  Perhaps that would help?

Okay...this is what I have read in the last few moments....  Some studies were thought to indicate that earlobe creases indicated a person was at greater risk for coronary disease...BUT more recent research indicates that old age has a greater influence on earlobe creases.  Sooooo...some could say that old age indicates a greater risk for heart disease if they want to say it and that IS true, but... it isn't the creases in the ear lobes. Sometimes herdity plays a part in these creases.  I wonder the age group in these studies....???\n\nThere is an indication of some inherited health problems when creases of the earlobes are seen in young people....a whole other subject.\n\nMorrow...about finger nails...they can tell a lot about you.

Lasting 5 minutes when you are in your 40's doesn't seem to be a problem, but more of the natural way life goes.  I am 42 years old and I know what you mean here!

The symptoms are basically the same. The doctor can do a hormone panel, which is a blood test to confirm it. There are also home saliva tests that you can buy online. You get the test, send it in, and get the results back in a few days. These tests are actually quite accurate, but be forewarned, the online sites usually are connected to people selling over-the-counter hormone creams and other peri-menopausal products. Nothing wrong with that...just wanted to let you know.

YES!!!! I'm 49 and it started when I was 39. I tried Hormone Replacment therapy but, the side effects from the hormones was more than I could handle. I have found that my weight has alot to do with the severity of the hot flashes. .... I'm 5' 7" and now weigh about 200lbs. (Yuck, not something I like to share) but a couple of years ago, I excersized & ate healthy (mostly vegetarian meals) and got down to 145 lbs. at which point, my symptoms dissapeared completely. (AND I looked great) My hubby likes to feed me, so I gained it back but am now losing it again (I finally made him realize that the extra weight was making me miserable - he remembers that the hot flashes and mood swings dissappeared when I lost the weight before) and with every few pounds I lose, the symptoms lessen. Hope this helps :)\nAlso, I do take an over the counter med called: Black Cohosh Menopause complex. It's made by Spring Valley and I get it at WalMart for about 10 bucks for 30 day supply. It helps a little. I do sleep better when I take this.

Women tend to take better care of themselves and see doctors more.  Maybe thats why we live longer.

I am 31 and my skin is still very oily and acne prone.  I used Proactiv for a while, with good results.  I just didn't like having to buy online.  Lately, I have been using a line by Neutrogena called "advanced solutions".

I am an alternative medicinal therapist and an ex nurse and i must tell you that i do not agree with the pill, it has been known to cause breast and uterine cancer and at your age it could have bad results later on. You would be better off taking an herbal remedy. I can't recommend anything for you because i do not know your age.  If you still want to use it then you will have to tell your mum the reasons why. You can contact me on either e mails:alternative@medicine321.wanadoo.co.uk or gloriashealth@btinternet.com\n\nGloria(BSYA)
