Daff. I can't use lanolin, so we must be 'cloned' pmsl

It can cause a lot of problems.

Like you say, you are such an awkward b----r :)))

*puffs up chest proudly*

Yep..... that's me!! Awkward, b.....

I am also allergic to salicylate... which is an ingredient in many many cosmetics, soaps, creams, etc... and in it's purest form.. aspirin and such like... also used in after sun products, deep heat, etc etc etc.

Real bummer.

I trained as a Beauty therapist many years ago...... couldn't use the creams!!

I got married and had babies instead..... much more fun, lol

Ann, palmolive is one of the best... I can use that!

Love

Daff xxxx

I only wash my face in Dove cream bar nothing else gets put on it, when I was in hospital recently one of the young nurses asked my secret because I had no wrinkles , I'm nearly 70.I once washed my face in Pears soap and had a really bad reaction, never again.

I have always used Pond's cold cream as a cleanser. It is hard to find in shops nowadays. Only last week did I manage to get a jar for £3.99. It lasts ages.

I have been using the Aldi Moisturiser's Day and Night for about a year now and would never use anything else. I will be 54 this year and have hardly any wrinkles.

Have used oil of ulay since my 20s am now 51 , with not a wrinkle, everyone thinks i am in my 30s i was even asked to show some ID at work, had to show my driving licence to prove my age. But I put it down to not smoking and never lying in the sun. Hate the heat.

I use Clinique if someone buys it for me, and Simple if they don't. Must say I prefer the Clinique stuff though.

I'm nearly 59 and I smoke, but I don't think I have very many wrinkles.
