Women Have Fought Wrinkles For Generations
 

Yes, it costs them a fortune to combat ageing with the large variety of creams available and now thank's to Doves advertising executives we men can also join in this losing battle.

We aren't expected to get in touch with our feminine side though, it seems we have a slightly different fight on our hands unlike our delicate ladies we have a much more butch problem, leathery skin so chaps get out there and spend, spend, spend.

You know it makes sense!

I can only recommend that you start to use my absolute favourite soap for men, Less - for lovely soft kissable skin and a touch of luxury, nothing leathery about it at all!;)

It might work for you, mobertol, it doesn't work for me.
But then, you probably had something better to work on.

What you 'slap on' also 'goes in'.

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. :)

Totally agree Di, only wore makeup on stage and haven't done that for years. Hate the feel of it on my skin. Saves a lot of time at the mirror in the mornings anyway!

I can remember my mum wearing a wig when they were in fashion - must have been early 70's. There was a wonderful photo of her sitting on my Dad's friend Bob's knees wearing the "Red" wig and a spangly/sparkly trouser suit! Thse were the days for fashion. 'fraid I'm pretty conservative and don't need to cover up to feel OK with myself...:D
