Just had a passport photo done (I can dream) and I look 'tired'

I'm 54 and don't have bad skin but the photo showed me that I look tired, skin looked dull, open pores on my chin and the start of hamster pouch!

I don't have wrinkles (apart from slight lines on my eyes) or spots. I noticed that the area above my lip is starting to crease (?).

I have sensitive skin so only use Simple products but am happy to try other very mild products, I would not be into filler, Botox etc. I drink plenty of water. I have Irish white skin!

Help!

I have ghostly white skin and am very late 40s; I swear by Dermalogica. I would recommend getting a facemap done ... just find a stockist closest to you, ask if they do it, and if so make a booking. It will show the areas that need attention and the skincare consultant will be able to tell you what products to use (you could even start off by having a couple of facials to see how the products feel before buying a travel kit, and then getting full-sized products when you're confident they're the right ones for you).

Another brand I love is Natio (Australian). All the cosmetics I wear are that brand; and I've started to use some of their skincare products too (was gifted some with purchase, which I've grown to really like). I think Dermalogica is slightly more powerful though.

I invested in a NuDerma portable handheld machine from Amazon recently (have been using it for two weeks), and am already seeing results.

What's a hamster pouch? Passport photos are the least flattering of all, especially as you're not allowed to smile and have to put into effort into not smiling so end up looking really sombre.

My daughter just had her passport done and she's stunning but her passport photo looks awful. You can't smile and they always seem to look grim. I've got to get mine done. I dread to think how bad mine will look :ROFLMAO:
For skin to look it's best get plenty of sleep and drink plenty of water. I find if I drink wine my face looks bloated and not as fresh. I only drink weekends now though. I also use Garnier BB cream which gives a nice glow to the skin.
