Just that really. I vehemently disagree with her on a number of issues but would love to know her skincare regime!

Being a very pale white person I deeply envy darker skin tones and especially after living in Japan for years, Japanese women have unbelievably amazing skin. No matter how well I treat my skin it shows my age, hereditary rosacea doesn't help Sad

As for Priti Patel, I imagine her skincare routine has something to do with bathing in the blood of young virgins...

eminencegrise · 13/01/2020 18:53

There's nothing beautiful or amazing about that vile person.

EntropyRising · 13/01/2020 18:54

Keir starmer also looks good for his age. I wonder what he does!

Well, he wears loads of makeup for starters.

I disagree with your assessment.

AnaChocolatte · 13/01/2020 18:54

Actually you're right aroundtheworld - I didn't know Keir Starmer was 57! I would have guessed ten years younger than that.

berlinbabylon · 13/01/2020 18:56

I agree, I would have thought Keir Starmer was about my age - so late 40s.

Patel definitely has a picture in the attic. I am really hoping she loses her Cabinet post in the big February reshuffle.

aroundtheworldyet · 13/01/2020 18:57

Yes I know! He’s 57. He looks great on it. But I have a small crush.
And he’s my mp. So I’m biased

bananahood · 13/01/2020 18:57

I imagine that'll have been part of the deal when she sold her soul.

MrsTerryPratchett · 13/01/2020 18:59

I couldn't care less about PP buy want to agree that KS definitely has something.

It helps that most of the rest of the men in the HoC looked like overcooked tripe.

APatchyTomCat · 13/01/2020 19:00

You can have the best skin in the world, but if most people look at you and think 'twat' you're on a hiding to nothing.

Leflic · 13/01/2020 19:00

Not just Asian/black skin. Gingers age well too weirdly. All my freckled friends have great skin possibly from keeping out of the sun. Although the computer says ginger genetics are the cause.

aroundtheworldyet · 13/01/2020 19:01

Liam fox is the same age as Keir,
Anyway, it’s all about genetics.

Everyone is shocked that my mother is nearly 80. She looks about 65. But she’s never done anything other than use normal moisturiser. She never even stayed out of the sun. And she drinks a lot!

RuffleCrow · 13/01/2020 19:03

@TheQueef haha you're not alone in that one Wink

AnaChocolatte · 13/01/2020 19:04

I'll join in on having a minor crush on Keir, he's not bad at all.

Priti is obviously an awful person - however, she is gorgeous. She has lovely thick hair which is very youthful. A nice straight back, no hunching. She's not actually v thin which I think helps over 40 but even saying all this her skin is great. I wonder what she does!

BaolFan · 13/01/2020 19:06

She has good skin. Sadly her revolting attitude spoils it for me; I find it very hard to look at her without wondering how someone could be so needlessly arrogant and cruel.

Photo for pp who asked.

Priti Patel looks amazing for 47
aroundtheworldyet · 13/01/2020 19:08

It’s all about bone structure too. If you look at Keir and Priti they both have fantastic bone structure

aroundtheworldyet · 13/01/2020 19:09

I just googled Priti Patel and she’s trending
Is mumsnet making her trend!!!
I can’t believe it!

mokapot · 13/01/2020 19:15

She is pretty even though I don’t like her

flirtygirl · 13/01/2020 19:23

Black skins shows marks like scars far more but wrinkles and lines far less, so its swings and roundabouts.

European skin is thinner and this with less melanin shows the aging process quicker.

Priti looks how I would expect her to do, for her age and wealth. I know people without the wealth who look better. She also most definitely has a picture in the attic.

hollieberrie · 13/01/2020 19:29

I was at a work thing recently that she spoke at.
She glows and was very well dressed.
Very poor public speaker though.

WoollyMollyMonkey · 13/01/2020 19:33

She might be pretty on the outside, but inside she’s as ugly as sin.

TheNavigator · 13/01/2020 19:36

She bathes in the blood of immigrant children to keep her youthful glow

Ponoka7 · 13/01/2020 19:37

@WorraLiberty, because I do a similar routine and it's recommended by the aesthetic nurse that I use, for anyone who wants a good natural look, with movement.

When you're interested in this sort of thing, you get to know what others do.

PP has number 11's and some lines, some medium deep at times, then she suddenly looks a lot fresher and they go to being fine lines.

At 53, I'm now considering fibroblasting. Which would be her next step around her mouth. Her face doesn't 'match' at times. But RF etc takes around a week to kick in.

Ponoka7 · 13/01/2020 19:39

"She glows", in a way that past 45 you only do if you micro-needle, or deep peel.

JasonPollack · 13/01/2020 19:39

Probably all that child's blood she's bathing in.
