Aveeno twenty times a day is not working for me. Well it is not making it any worse ha ha.

Who cares anyway?

I am older than all of you and I don't care anymore. Grey hair, wrinkles, the works. The freedom is great. No one else cares either, they only care about themselves and how THEY look.

Shoo. LOL

@OhMargo well that's all lovely for you but your assuming a great deal. You've no idea how old I am so shoo yourself!

It was a lighthearted bit of fun.

No worries, I know it's lighthearted. But in these times, the freedom of not having to be concerned about hands, feet, legs, hair etc. is great. Because we are not seeing anyone!

Just a bit of freedom from the female obsession with being the youngest looking kid on the block!

And I do realise that many posters are much younger than I am. That's what makes this place so interesting for me.

@MaidenMotherCrone nope not 45 but not far off!

TheWoollybacksWife · 21/04/2020 18:21

MaidenMotherCrone based on nothing more scientific than your hands look similar to my SILs and she's 48 I'm going to go with that. As we are BFFs I'm sure you can forgive me if I've aged you.

boomchikawowwow · 21/04/2020 18:24

@MaidenMotherCrone

I'm guessing you at 39

MaidenMotherCrone · 21/04/2020 18:24

@TheWoollybacksWife we are still best friends as I'm 52 Grin

@triedandtestedteacher could you do another pic that's a little sharper?

MaidenMotherCrone · 21/04/2020 18:52

@boomchikawowwow we are now bestest best friends Grin

triedandtestedteacher · 21/04/2020 18:54

Bit better (or worse!) ?

MaidenMotherCrone · 21/04/2020 19:04

@triedandtestedteacher 32?

triedandtestedteacher · 21/04/2020 19:24

Aww thanks. I'm 36. Think it's the chub on them lol

Gwenhwyfar · 21/04/2020 20:00

I stopped the extra hand washing once I started working from home. I don't see how I'd be getting it from anywhere once I'm at home having washed my hands on coming in and not touching things that go outside (I live alone). Am I wrong?

ANoiseAnnoys · 21/04/2020 20:16

I think you are 103 op. I’m not posting mine as I’m so ashamed of my half-bitten-off shellac. They are slatterns hands.

ANoiseAnnoys · 21/04/2020 20:17

memble and eugene you two could be hand models!

vitaminC · 22/04/2020 13:51

Ooh, what an interesting thread!
Here's mine. I work in a hospital and my skin gets really dry and scaly if I'm not careful, from all the handwashing and alcohol gel. (Please ignore scars from wrist surgery!)

MaidenMotherCrone · 22/04/2020 14:00

@vitaminC 37?

ActuallyItsEugene · 22/04/2020 14:20

@Thatone5 Oh, add another 10 years or so on Grin
Thank you.

Since lockdown I've done my nails using the Sensationail gel kit - the colour is Babydoll Pink.
The kits can be quite expensive (google is your best friend for deals) but they last a lifetime.
They've so many different colours on their website, plus good deals on starter kits and the lamps.
Well worth it.

@ANoiseAnnoys I'd love to be a hand model Grinlike the old school QVC days.

Thatone5 · 23/04/2020 11:20

@ActuallyItsEugene thanks :) I have a gel kit from amazon with a UV lamp but it peels off in days so might try this

SuperficialSuzie · 23/04/2020 14:33

Mine are scaly, stubby and wrinkly

I did a double take, looks like my hand. I'm 48

vitaminC · 23/04/2020 15:54

@MaidenMotherCrone thank you! You've cheered me up - I actually turn 47 in a few weeks and was worried that my hands had aged overnight with all the extra washing.

Purplegorilla · 23/04/2020 16:44

Mine. Just like my face, they look fatter on camera for some reason Confused
