Wrinkles, pimples, gray hair and smiles...

I was listening to Jimmy Buffett the other day and the song "Barefoot children" came on my Ipod. One of the lines are "Wrinkles are only in the places were smiles have been." I like this saying. It is kind of like my gray hair. I don't mind it because I tell everyone "I have kids and I earned every one of those gray hairs"! The wrinkles...well I am trying to figure them out. Maybe like Jimmy says...they are only marking the places the smiles have been. It is really the pimples that are driving me (and most of my friends) nuts! I am over 40 and shouldn't be getting them!! I paid that price when I was a teenager. Enough already!! Unfortunately life doesn't work that way. I have use cleaners, cleansers, mask, high priced formulas, discount formulas, soap, creams, lotions and currently an apricot scrub. I will say that they all give me results. Either dry skin, oily skin, empty wallet, or more pimples. It seems like all I do is touch my face and wham, there is another pimple. Friends say "It is just your hormones changing." "The signs of aging?" I love that expression too...signs of aging...like we are going to turn the corner one day and see a big traffic sign that say "Warning wrinkles ahead." But how many times can your hormones change in a year?
What do you do to avoid that "Sign"?
