Do expensive face creams work

The most important thing is Chas loves & cherishes her. She doesn’t need any creams for that :+1:

Sun exposure has a lot to do with it, You should see the face and arm wrinkles on some of the old dears who spent their youth on the beach here.

I agree, Morty.
She has also still got a good head of hair.
Anyway, I also suspect that is a particularly bad photo, and probably chosen by a journalist for that very reason.

She looks real. No cosmetic surgery for her. She’s got great hair , a beautiful colour.

Do expensive face creams?
No idea.

Love it ha ha ha ……last resort huh :joy:

I used to believe all the hype in the adds and a sucker bought them

Now older and much wiser I ask myself does those celebrities spouting all the hype really use the stuff they are trying to convince us to buy

Like hell they do

Do they really think we believe they home colour their hair to get the results they have ,yeah right

Does Helen Mirren really get her complexion from L’Oreal Face cream or is it due to much more expensive treatment hmm

I think you’re right, there’s a lot of money to be made by celebs and cosmetic companies promising us eternal youth :lipstick:

A good few years ago there was a BBC horizon programme that showed that
Boots No 7 Protect and Perfect works on fine wrinkles so I’ve been using that ever since

It is expensive and I probably am wasting my money but it keeps my skin nice

I’ve got some skin damaging from baking myself mahogany in the sun, but boy was it worth it! :beach_umbrella::dark_sunglasses::sunrise:

Yeah and part of that money they earn trying to con us is used for all the real much more expensive treatments giving their excellent results :joy:

I have a horrible brown age mark on my face just below my eye ,concealers work a bit to cover it but my glasses are better as they sit right in the mark and hide it :nerd_face:

Ya can’t beat a good rub down with a sheep. That natural lanolin is better than all the modern day oils and potions. :sheep:

Only if observed by Billy Connolly …as in his ‘with a sheep’ sketch :astonished::point_right::wink::grin:

My bowel prep was a different substance, but still was a through-the-eye-of-a-needle job though. I was very interested watching the screen as the camera probe made its way through me and the running commentary was very informative :+1:

I remember reading somewhere that if you use haemorrhoid cream on your face it will tighten up your wrinkles temporarily :flushed:

I don’t think I’ll bother but do let me know if you give it a try :rofl:

I just think…when your nice skin has gone…it’s gone, there’s no return… well, maybe a facelift might help?

Isn’t it fascinating! I’d had mild sedation (as you do) and it was the first camera trip around since they’d removed half of my colon (I’m officially a semicolon!)
I said you make sure I’m awake when you reach the buffers where they joined the remaining half of the colon to the small intestine…it was incredible, so neat, such tiny stitches!!
I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.

You can buy a jar of the stuff in any supermarket for a couple of bucks.

If you don’t like sheep there is always
