I have read recently that benzoyl peroxide causes free radicals which in turn causes premature aging of the skin. Does anyone know if this is true? The sites where I read this seemed a little sketchy and seemed to be making this claim so that people will buy their anti-acne products. I have suffered from acne since I was 12 (I’m 23) and have been using benzoyl peroxide products for years. I don’t want to have prematurely aged skin! I’m concerned about this.
Also, I use an SPF facial moisturizer daily… will this help counteract the possible premature aging effects?

I know all questions may not apply to most of you, but answering the ones that do will be helpful. If you can think of more tips that I have not asked please share.

What facial cleanser do you use? I have normal skin except my lips constantly peel.
What facial moisturizer do you use?
What do you use to ward off lines, wrinkles, and age spots?
Do you use any other anti-aging products?
I have dry skin. What body wash or body soap do you use?
What kind of body lotion do you use?
What kind of firming lotion do you use?
Is cocoa butter or shea butter better for firming?
What lip gloss do use? I am looking for something that keeps the lips moist and not really for beauty purposes.
What is your favorite perfume?
This next question may seem weird but here goes. I am looking for answers on this one from those who can relate (so basically people the same shade as me). I am the same shade as Gabrielle Union and Jennifer Hudson. What shade of lipstick and and eye makeup would look best on me? Please no one guess plum because that is awful on medium to dark brown skin.

I think I read somewhere that people shouldn’t waste their money buying anti-aging eye cream and to just use your facial moisturizer on their eyes too. Is this true? I know the skin around the eyes is different than the skin on the rest of my face. So does it need it’s own treatment?
