I'm not shocked at all -- I think I started using eye cream around the same time. If Fran is a foundation/powder girl, she could try a mineral product, which has SPF built in. Also, I highly recommend eye cream, and anything from a youth-friendly line, like La Roche Posay or even Benefit, would be good. You don't need anything heavy duty, but if nothing else, eye cream can be very soothing just after you remove makeup and can give you a bit of a boost first thing in the morning. But that's just one ex-beauty gal's humble opinion ;)
