That being said, I have this fabulous picture of my mom at a picnic in the early 70s--mini skirt, cute top, and sunglasses included. My parents didn't have a happy marriage, but for whatever reason I like to assume this picture was one my dad took of her when they were dating. #mymomthestyleicon

Instead I got my father's color and much tighter ringlets from...somewhere. #mymomthestyleicon

Not so cool? Her red, white, and blue prom dress, with matching shawl. #mymomthestyleicon

Embarrassed the hell out of me when I was younger, but now I admire the 'to hell with what other people think' attitude. #mymomthestyleicon

Although, I do love this one picture from my parents' wedding in 1969 when they got hitched with about $1.05 in bank - it's basically my mom rocking a white minidress (the only white she owned) out front of a Catholic church. It's pretty bad ass. #mymomthestyleicon

We can't avoid the sun and the sun does have health benefits, it just also, um, burns your skin and does some other stuff that high spf lotion will help combat/stave off. Apply liberally, ladies! #motherdaughteraging

Just make sure you read the labels for the ingredients and don't fall for marketing hype about exotic ingredients. A handy rule of thumb is that if the touted ingredient isn't among the first five listed, then there's not enough to make much of a difference. You'll also find that when you do this, you'll notice that many expensive products use the same or similar ingredients as cheaper ones. And reading and comparing labels will help you narrow down particular ingredients that may be problematic for you. #motherdaughteraging

The same things that work for wrinkles also work for acne, so you're in luck. #motherdaughteraging

Yep! The amzing retinoids!
I met a 40-year-old woman in my teens who had used Retin A for twenty years for her acne and I swear she didn't have any the tiniest line on her face. She had the skin of a ten year old.
I filed that info away and started using retinoids when I was 25 or so.
People think my BF is my dad and he's only a year older. HA! #motherdaughteraging

But now, I fall in the strange window between acne and occasional pimples- not bad enough to need prescription strength medication and not clear enough to rely on spot treatment. I use light SP15 moisturizer in the morning, wash twice a day with Bijore cleanser (gentle), powder foundation and call it a day.
What is the SkinID line like? #motherdaughteraging

Also, this: "When I was very young, my mother read my diary. And though I loved my mother, I don’t think I ever forgave her." So, the exact thing happened to her, she felt violated and then she did it to her own daughter?
Wow. Just, wow. That is a level of emotional retardation that is really hard to beat. #joycemaynard

God I can't wait for these overharers to go away. #joycemaynard
