@ SimplyForties: I hate those things, which really are adult-proof caps. You have to give them to a kid to open them for you.

What a great idea! I’m going to remember that one. I did finally remember to ask that my prescriptions be packaged with non-childproof caps on them. That helped a lot!

@ Ellen: that’s a great idea…never thought of that one!

@ frugalscholar: You can order AlphaHydrox on-line, too. Around here, you occasionally see it in drugstores, but it’s very spotty. I think that’s because it’s so cheap, people don’t realize how good it is. It has the same percentage of alphahydroxyl [sp???] acid as the wildly expensive stuff my dermatologist was peddling, and it really DOES work. Frankly, I suspect if they raised the price on it, they’d sell a lot more of it!

I have a bunch of Neutrogena’s sunblock, SPF 45, which I really like because it’s odorless. This mineral makeup stuff is supposed to be SPF 20, but you’d prob’ly have to cake it on to have it block much UV light.

Well…heh heh heh…we have the “before” pictures already. Let’s see how the wrecking yard looks after a couple months of slathering these anti-aging chemicals on.

Oops–forgot to mention: If you use AHA, you HAVE to use sunscreen.

More news you can use!

I’ve seen AlphaHydrox at Dollar General and similar shops.

And, I’ve learned from a friend, that when I by a huge jar of something that I want to take home and put in smaller jars (like pickles) the clerk will loosen that cap, too!
