My Grandson buys me Oil of Ulay anti-wrinkle creme as a joke. Every once in a while he looks closely at my face and announces..... Its still not working !!!!

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 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.

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.

*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. 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 :)))

That reminds me - I use Dove 'cream bar' to wash my face.

Well in that case Hayley... what you putting that muck on yer face for when you clearly don't need it, lol!!
*sticks tongue out*

Vods.... it's the same as Aqueous, more or less.... it doesn't really cause a problem... I have slightly greasy skin, naturally, so never needed to use much... I can only wear make up of any sort for a short while... so don't often bother any more.

I use the tumble dryer balls rather than conditioner, most of the time... and I change my shower and hair products regularly, which reduces the problems.

I am just downright awkward, me, lolol

I have used Olay face creams since i was a teenager.Yes i am over 50.
I have tried and tested every new Olay that comes out
[ cost a fortune some of them ] but i can honestly say that none of them are any different what ever they say it suppose to do .

I stick with Olay as like it , just personnel choice but i have stopped buying the most expensive of the brand .

E45 burns me... used to burn my son, too.... Well, that is what it feels like... it used to contain lanolin, which I am very sensitive to.

Hayley......... you don't look a day over, either, honestly.
