Anti-Wrinkle Creams

[milly143]

I am starting to get lines under my eyes. I'm only 27!!

Do any of the creams on the market actually work? I think I better get started now.

I never used a moisturiser or any other cream on my face until 2-3 years ago. I had very oily skin-so avoided anything as they all made it feel greasy. I have my bus pass-but my skin is still wrinkle free except for a few around my eyes. I don't count laughter/frown/sun-in-your-eyes lines though....they will come no matter what you use.

If more laughter lines means that you have more laughs in life then so be it!

Whilst we're on the subject of skin care, I give my husband a facial nearly every week, not that he liked it at first, but now looks forward to it!

I use Simple facemask for two minutes, then Simple toner, then Aldi serum, then Oil of Olay moisteriser. His skin looks really good & hydrated after.

I've been cutting his hair & trimming his moustache for years too - he doesn't have any stray ear hairs or eyebrows, 'cos I soon whizz or pluck them out, lol!

Agreed Pasta. Wrinkles are not the same as expression lines

Now this is wrinkles

Agreed jd......and I think young women today are far more concerned with ageing than their mothers may have been. There is a lot of emphasis on 'beating the clock' with creams rather than avoiding the lifestyle things which cause wrinkles.

I would have to knock Mr LL out and tie him up to give him a facial Smudge. I have always cut his hair though. Mr LL's skin care regime consists of water and shower gel.

I tend to think the less you do to oily skin-the better. Too much can make the skin over-produce.

[LoftyLottie]

A good walk in the fresh air does more to make your skin glow and look good than all the beauty products in the world. (with SP factor cream of course!!).

I saw a Keith Richards look-a-like in the park the other day...OMG-there's more than one like that???

[jd_1984]

Not to generalise but people my age (mostly the females) just think that there will be some miracle lotion or botox etc... and they can sort it out as they get older, then continue to binge drink, use drugs and do all the things we are warned not to. I lived it up for many years but now starting to realise you only get body, look after it!

[milly143]

Wow, lots of answers since I was forced against my will to do some work.

I have learnt a numer of things from this;

1) Aldi seems to be the best place to get skin cream (just need to find one around hre now).
2) My smoking is probably doing my skin no good at all. Although I feel slightly less guilty as I've only used a sunbed once and I don't drink much.
3) It doesn't appear to matter how old I am, I'm still going to get bloody spots!
4) JD is a metro-sexual. :o)

[jd_1984]

Milly, yeah looks like I am a bit!

Type "metrosexual test" into Google. I just did the test and scored 42.
0 being not in the slightest and 100 being uber-metrosexual!

[milly143]

I would say 42 is a decent score, I mean you don't wana go over board.

I don't think I'll do the test though, what with being a female and all. ;o)

[jd_1984]

Perhaps not! I worded that as if to say "have a go". But didnt mean that

[shaneystar2]

Aldi Moisturiser and skin serum is the best thing since sliced bread .I'm another lucky oily skinned person . Lines ,yes but wrinkles no and I too have a bus pass.

[milly143]

I have oily skin but I don't see it as a good thing. I ensure I have a packet of Bodyshop blotting paper in my handbag at all times. I hate it.
