Top products to glam up an old bird

[EatMySkorts]

Sorry I know these threads get done a lot but I’ve found them useful in the past.

Im 42, feeling 142. Trying to diet and (almost!) give up alcohol. Feeling wrinkly and full skinned and unconfident at the moment.

Can anyone suggest great products for skin brightening? Filling in brows? Other tips for making me feel beautiful??!

Under ‘other’:

Weekly veg box
Wholefoods
Fresh air
Decent sleep
Beautiful new clothes that give you presence.
Perfume

Plus:

Being good at something and having that acknowledged.
Learning something new.
Adventure. Whether intellectual, artistic, physical, spiritual. Go on a retreat, cycle across a country, take a university course (amongst real people).

It’s good - and important - to be engaged in activities that don’t concern your appearance at all and that stretch other aspects of your being.

Have you tried tretinoin? Monderma do it in a vegan base. I'd say that's the most important ingredient for glow and skin brightening.

@BeetledBrow Absolutely excellent advice

That is so good @BeetledBrow 😍

Boots 1% retinol is the business. Exfoliate occasionally, and factor 50.

Few things have more immediate impact than a haircut that suits you. If you are grey, those purple shampoos really lift your hair.

Now I've read @BeetledBrow advice I feel really shallow 😔

Do both 😁

I only stated the obvious because I anticipated other people would have more exciting things to say about beauty products!
