But then, you probably had something better to work on.
There is definitely a genetic element in every part of us. I have inherited my Grand-mother's "good" skin. Use no creams or potions and wear make-up about 5 times a year.

Use only soap and water -but i do buy good quality soap and it lasts.

At risk of her seeing this -my mother is "Vain" and has spent a fortune on her skin in products and make-up over a life-time. She won't be seen dead without her "Face" on. My favourite photo of her is taken on a balcony in Porto Fino in 1999, it's early morning and we were staying in an appartment - no make-up and she is beautiful...
A man with weathered skin has his own beauty -at the end of the day it isn't actually skin deep, beauty is something much more profound to me and involves the whole person -it is not superficial.

I know this section is meant to be light-hearted -sorrry to be so philosophical but it is something i really believe in. That which is often "fed" to us as beauty and desireable is not very human.
