Re: Makeup can age the skin

Now it is being substantiated. Using makeup on the face, particularly oil based ones can clog the skin pores leading to acne and pimples. It can also aggravate fine lines below and around eyes, which is a sign of aging. Talc based make up products when used, cause dryness of skin and early and more rapid wrinkling.9 Oct 2017

The makeup and environmental pollutants you accumulate during the day seep into your pores, breaking down collagen and elastin. This can speed up the ageing process and leave you with fine lines and wrinkles. Cleanse and moisturize your skin every night before bed.

It seems altogether easier to walk around with a bag on my head ...or some good mastic sealant from the DIY store.

Re: Makeup can age the skin

Rubbish make up only enhances your looks.

Re: Makeup can age the skin

I have no wish to have my looks enhanced, even if I looked 100.

Re: Makeup can age the skin

Thank you Bratti...you are too kind (if you only knew)

But I agree that I am lovable, forum and real life. I love my friends and I hug them and kiss them. I love my family and do the same. I am basically a happy person and just try to shower my love on many, but there there is the other side of me (of which I have little control)....where I am a holy terror.

Re: Makeup can age the skin

Exactly.
And a wrinkle is a wrinkle whether it's natural or enhanced with a smudge of artfully applied B&B cream or light foundation to try to mask it... and usually fails

Same as a crack in a house wall prone to subsidence.

Now eyes can be another thing.
Unless an ageing eyelid becomes too hooded there is nothing nicer than a bit of mascara or eye shadow to show them knowing wise (or sultry) eyes to perfection.

I agree, I don't know why blue thinks she's unpopular, I really like her xx

Re: Makeup can age the skin

You are, I assume lucky to still look wrinkle free! Me I rely on makeup.

Re: Makeup can age the skin

Exactly Panda!

Delusional folk who think they have no wrinkles... it's because you look in the mirror!
If I do that I look younger than Springtime

Now pick up your make-up mirror (or magnifying mirror of some description)
AND PUT ON YOUR READING GLASSES!

Now look again and tell me you have no wrinkles!!

Re: Makeup can age the skin

I'm expecting to get rid of mine.
I just bought a pot of cream with Dead Sea Minerals from the local Bargain shop for 1.99.
