This morning my foundation ‘set’ into my crows feet.

This is new.

Am perturbed by these events.

What’s next? Prepare me.

Not only skin care issues but body ones as well. I picked a load of bramley apples earlier and was making them into apple sauce. Suddenly realised they were 'catching' on the pan and jumped up sending my back into spasm! I am now on the sofa, dosed up with ibuprofen, clutching a hottie bottle and downing a strong vodka and tonic whilst dh sniggers about apple sauce related injuries...

Talking about nasal hair any tips for dealing with it. Tried tweezers but can’t deal with the pain and I’m not normally a wimp

There is a wax you can do at home, it's by nads and especially for nose. Hurts like buggery worse actually but as PP said its over quickly and I only bother every so often seems to grow back slower than moustache

I’m 53 I have no wrinkles at all, no eyelid droop, no nasal hair a couple occasionally on my chin lips are still full not lined and foundation still looks great

The pubes went straight to white, I no longer have to shave legs or arms as the hair just disappeared which is a huge bonus

I wish my periods would bugger off though and even though I pass for a decade younger I’m crippled by various auto immune conditions which make me look younger ( greater skin elasticity)

Eyebrows like Denis Healey.

Isn't that what people want these days? I've spent my adult life plucking my eyebrows so they don't look like caterpillars, and now people pay to have caterpillars above their eyes!

Night: The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser, Pixi Glow Tonic (exfoliating toner), Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 Night Face Moisturiser

Nothing expensive.

In the AM I just wipe my face over with a wash of mineral water with a few drops of lavender and tea tree oil, and I'm now adding in L'Oreal Revitalift Filler day to see how that goes.

With just the night routine I looked better in a couple of weeks. My skin tone is vastly improved. I feel good face naked!!

Interesting. When you say mineral water with lavender and tea tree oil, do you add a few drops to a bottle of mineral water and then apply it with a pad or something?

Oh the bloody nose hairs!!!!!! I use a little battery operated razor wand thing I got from Superdrug. I think it's meant for ears but does the nose hair a treat, and any other stray buggers!
Dry, crepey skin creeps up on you, and after years of moaning about my greasy skin😢

Nose hair clipper from the men's section. Painless, quick, effective.

I gave up foundation a couple of years ago, as it was sitting in the lines round my eyes (am mid-40s). On the rare occasions I wear makeup now, it's a dab of concealer where needed, minimal blusher, a bit of mascara and some lip stain. Anything more than that and it looks like too much.

Erborian CC cream is witchcraft in a tube. I'm 52 and it glides over pesky lines and crowsfeet and kinda blurs them. It's very sheer but lasts all day. I used to swear by Chanel foundation, but Erborian is so much better.
