Just a big con!!!

First let me say I have great admiration for the ladies below for not succumbing to cosmetic surgery.

I dare bet their beauty products are more expensive than mine and yet I can vouch even though I only use Oil if Olay my skin looks no worse than theirs..

I think the beauty industry is a multi million pound con. It's a farce really & should be ended under the trades description act.


Do you still buy expensive beauty products and can you honestly say they've made a difference?

I haven't bought beauty products nor make up for years. Not since I went through the change. I use Simple shower gel & Head & Shoulders for my hair & that's it.

Yes, I do invest in quality products and treatments and I don’t have any wrinkles at my age. So, I do believe it works. A healthy lifestyle also helps.

Of course, good genes help as well. My mom doesn’t look her age either

Re: Just a big con!!!

I do use a moisturiser on my face in the morning (usually vichy and always with a spf)
And I use bio-oil or bio-oil gel on my body (more so when I used to go swimming) but that's all apart from a little make- up for work...and a lot on social occasions!

Do you remember those....
Social occasions?!!

You can't be sure it works Minx.

You may have had no wrinkles anyway even if you'd used cheap products.

I can go along with the good genes though. That makes sense.

By the way Carol, you look way, way better and younger than Esther (didn't she have a face-lift not so long ago?) And Fag Ash Lil!

I bought some Pantene shampoo the other day and if I believed what was written on the bottle, after six weeks of use I would look like a wet wank in a white wig wearing wellingtons.

Re: Just a big con!!!

I have no wrinkles, only when I pout,


I have always moisturised, plus I drink 2 and a half pints of water a day.

My beauty therapist ,is always commenting on my skin.
