Ladies. may I recommend threading?

Its fantastic for getting rid of the little buggers for a few weeks and no allergic reactions or skin being ripped from you

Re: Makeup can age the skin

I've heard of that ... what exactly is it?
Is it like been attacked with a length of dental floss across your chops?

It is indeed

But is so quick and whilst a bit stingy, its a clean sweep with no reaction and no lasting soreness

I had eyebrows and top lip done in about 10 mins and Ive still got my skin ( waxing always leaves me bleeding) and Im as smooth as a baby's bum

Re: Makeup can age the skin

Top lip sounds painful .. but worth knowing for when my tache gets out of control. A girl can only walk around with her head lowered for so long.

Seriously Id walked past these girls who have the stands in the shopping centres and thought about it but was too shy to be sat there in full view. But Ive a wedding on Saturday and the last wedding ( daughters) I got waxed and ended up with scabs so I thought Id give it a go

Well yes you sneeze a lot but seriously its so fast its ok. And I wasn't feared of walking up the high street after, no redness or soreness

Re: Makeup can age the skin

Yeah the people who do that type of hair removal are really good.
It’s super fast and practically painless.
I got my eyebrows permanently done years ago but I get the odd mustashe hair that I need to pluck out but I do them myself. I have one of those permanent hair removers.
This is going to sound soooo lame but I hate the thought of not being able to do all this when I get older. Luckily I’m not finding any ear hairs yet

Yes! That's where I've seen them and was a little curious but never brave enough to venture in with shoulders thrust back and chin thrust forward.

Doesn't sound lame ... I'm not vain but I agree with you. I'd be so self conscious about overgrown face fuzz.

That is not lame

Many moons ago I worked with a lass who was about my age now, and her mummy was in the elderly care unit and she went every day to pluck her face as she knew he mummy would have hated anyone seeing it

Im going to hate the day when Im in that bed with no nearest and dearest to come to see to me


Im very dark. My hair was jet black. Since the menopause its disappearing from below the neck line and sprouting out above

Re: Makeup can age the skin

10 years ago I trained in threading . I have done a lot of women with facial hair over the years and still do a few . I have two clients who are elderly , one in her eighties and the other who is 92. They have full face threading every 6 weeks , they love it when I hand them the mirror . Their skin looks so much nicer . I do my friend val too she has bad facial hair so one day while threading her I got a large clump of black mohair from her cardigan caught in the thread
So I pulled it up and said , blimey look at the hair I've taken off , she believed me too !

Threading my sister is the funniest , I often say I wish I had a camera at the faces she pulls and the noises she makes , she looks hilarious as I tell her to push her tongue into her top lip or bottom lip .

It's painful and stings and I'd never have it done .

Anyone want threading ?

I totally agree that it's down to genes. That and not smoking or eating junk food.

In terms of wrinkles it's often also down to bone structure and dental structure which determine the vertical dimension of the face. That along with the natural oils in the skin.

But none of it is down to make up. Not taking make up off at night does not give you wrinkles - I am proof!
