Hi K.!
I feel the same way. Nothing like baby-induced sleep deprivation to put some new crows feet on your face! On the bright side, i feel like my "smile lines" have deepened because I spend so much time laughing with my 19mo. old, so that's never a bad thing!
I worked at a spa for awhile and they let me in on this little secret: there are 3 categories of face products. I forget the actual names of the categories, but they go like this:
Stuff you buy at the drug/grocery store
Stuff you buy at the cosmetics counter in the mall
Stuff you buy from physcians (pharmaceutical grade) - you can get these at medi-spas or plastic surgury practices after a skin care consultation
They get more expensive, obviously, at every level. But that's because they're better tested and the ingredients are higher quality. Keep in mind that you really do get what you pay for when you buy skincare products. Sephora.com has beauty consultants that you can email and they'll give you a list of products to meet your needs and your budget. You can also go to NewBeauty.com and purchase a "test tube" of sample products to try before you buy!
I've recently been introduced to the Philosophy line of skincare products and I love it.
Keep the sunscreen on and drink lots of water! Good luck...
