Help me Obi Wa...Poppy! you're my only hope!*
Dear Poppy,
I have two (possibly three) skincare issues that I need help with and I'm turning to you for product advice.
First, my neck. Poppy, my neck is getting saggy! I think it's starting at my jawline and moving downward to my neck. What do I need? I'm a drugstore/supermarket shopping gal and am overwhelmed with the choices available to me in the $20 range.
Do I need this stuff?
How silly would I feel using roll-on on my neck? I don't like the word "massaging" and if this thing vibrates I'LL DIE.
What about this?
Do I use it in the morning? At night?
Is this stuff better?
The HECK?!
Okay. Problem area number two: my eyes are puffy when I wake up in the morning.
I'm thinking I need help with this...I've been ignoring the "delicate" eye area my whole life and I'm sure I should have been doing SOMETHING before this.
So, remember - from the drugstore (not that I wouldn't love to shop at Nordstrom for these products, but I don't have the budget) what would you recommend?
Look! Another roll-on! I will admit that I don't mind the idea of not touching the product with my fingers, but it's not a deal breaker.
Do I need a two-step product (one step for de-puffing and one step for fine lines)?
Do I even HAVE fine lines?
I don't know - and I'm not willing to look at my face with a magnifying mirror, thank you very much.
I'm not married to these product choices and should point out that I have, in the past, been sensitive to something in the Olay product line that made me itchy. If you have an idea from another line I'm open to suggestions!
And, I'll warn you ahead of time - I'm nearly out of cleanser, so if you would like to recommend something for me to wash my face with too, I'd appreciate it.
Any questions?
You know where to find me!

For the puffy eyes, you want an eye treatment product that contains caffeine. And/or you want to (a) get more sleep, (b) elevate the head of your bed slightly, (c) drink less wine before bed.
Nothing will help the jaw/neck issue but surgery. ASK ME HOW I KNOW.
(OMG!...did I say that out loud?)Sorry, couldn't resist!
Yo, my secret password is STORESS
For you dear Bb, while I await the precious and more professional approach Poppy will have, may I tell you that I have always used various creams in my eye area since I was very young, as I have VERY sensitive skin. You would think I had gorgeous eyes. You met me. You know the answer. BUT, I keep on using it. What can I tell you ...
WV: skingic! Coincidence? I think not. :)
Take it from someone whose sheer amount of tears shed caused a pair of Samsonite Suitcases to appear under her eyes that the Garnier Anti-Puff Eye Roll-on is worth it's weight in Samsonite Suitcases full of gold.
Just sayin'.
This is just insanity. Let's face it, we're all going to pot. But we're clever, and we're witty, and those are more important things.
Besides, we're bloggers. No-one can bloody well see us.
I am trying the other option - going to bed earlier.
