First let me say I have great admiration for the ladies below for not succumbing to cosmetic surgery.
I dare bet their beauty products are more expensive than mine and yet I can vouch even though I only use Oil if Olay my skin looks no worse than theirs…
I think the beauty industry is a multi million pound con. It’s a farce really & should be ended under the trades description act.
Do you still buy expensive beauty products and can you honestly say they’ve made a difference?
I haven’t bought beauty products nor make up for years. Not since I went through the change. I use Simple shower gel & Head & Shoulders for my hair & that’s it.
Yes, I do invest in quality products and treatments and I don’t have any wrinkles at my age. So, I do believe it works. A healthy lifestyle also helps.
Of course, good genes help as well. My mom doesn’t look her age either:-)
I do use a moisturiser on my face in the morning (usually vichy and always with a spf)
And I use bio-oil or bio-oil gel on my body (more so when I used to go swimming) but that’s all apart from a little make- up for work…and a lot on social occasions!
I bought some Pantene shampoo the other day and if I believed what was written on the bottle, after six weeks of use I would look like a wet wank in a white wig wearing wellingtons.
It’s largely genetics if you have a good skin or not .
Exposure to the sun is ageing too .
it was shown that Nuns who lived in closed orders ( ie never came out) looked much younger than they were .
Although they no doubt suffered from lack of vitamin D !
Isn’t it a known fact that if you smoke you are more prone to wrinkles?
I don’t use beauty products, or soap on my face, just plain water. The only moisturiser is on my hands, which do get chapped. Not worn make up for decades. So I save a fortune on not having to buy cosmetics, or not wanting to, should I say.
I used to use clinique but I find dove nourishing cream does just as good I use it on my face as well as my body.
I’m always told I don’t look my age but I don’t really believe them, I think they are just being nice to me coz I see an ageing woman looking back at me these days.
I wouldn’t want to be likened to that parker bowles woman, can’t stand her, but that’s another thread lol Oh and both Esther and her have had work done I believe Carol x
