The easiest facelift ever !!

From the judges song, in Trial by Jury, Gilbert and Sullivan.

Read somewhere that egg white tightens up skin. Put it round my eyes and spent the whole day fending off the cat who kept trying to lick me! Now never look in a ‘big’mirror, put makeup on with a small compact mirror - I definitely look better on sections ?

I wondered for quite a while why my skin looked pretty good and generally the face was reasonable first thing in the morning, only to deteriorate badly after I had washed or cleansed my skin. It was only when I realised that I put my lenses in after cleansing..... oh dear. (I'm not really awake until I've had lots of tea. )

You can transform your look too - simply try a burka! They're so slimming. Wearing a burka and no glasses I look like Miss World!

priceless!

We only laugh because it is all so true!

Ha ha ha, I can’t stop laughing, you lot always cheer me up.

thanks to all of you!

The photographer who took my Passport pic - a lifelong family friend - photoshopped it for me.

I love it... though apparently, certain members of the family think it makes me look like a porn star !

Electric light has a lot to answer for in my opinion. There is no hiding place; candle light at least blurred the edges a bit. I share with you though my mother's advice : always sit with your back to the windows!

What a laugh you gave me. I haven't yet tried any of that but the replies here are priceless.
GN...always the best place for raising your spirits and giving you the first smile of the day.

Never look in a mirror during daylight. I find that waiting until evening with soft lighting, no glasses takes 20 years off me. ?

I was working recently on a promotion of the new Boots range of skincare for mature skin. A customer chatting to me about the ridiculous cost of some of the high end brands asked me if there was anything that truly reduced the appearance of wrinkles. I said "distance" and she laughed so much she wet herself.
I've been using the product I was promoting for two weeks now. Don't know whether I look different but my skin does feel tighter and softer. Maybe there is hope?

I was going to say that you lot make me laugh! butNanaandGrampy beat me to it. But you do come up with some things

LOL damn you predictive text Lemongrove ....

I always stand at an angle in a photo, especially useful for group shots when standing next to some super skinny person!! But now I’ve heard all these other strategies.........

I find not looking into mirrors unless absolutely necessary
Works for me.

Depreciating? Nana yes, we are all going down in value every year that passes.

I find squinting works for me and not approaching shop windows full on!

Oh you lot did make me laugh !!

Honestly , the BBC are missing a trick not having a show for depreciating, sarcastic Grans !!

Maw that's OK, it's my gift to you

I need an App on a small hand held device that I can run over my face and body, I will set it to Size 12 for the body and Age 47 for my face. I will then select, from a number of photos, what hair length colour I want and run it over my head.
Sigh.......?

I lost 2 stone in Photoshop the other day

Fear not Bathsheba, I have found it!
Let me know when you want it back

Just had a shower. I'm looking gorgeous in the mirror. The cat's run away though. Can't think why!

And so much cheaper than going for a sauna jane10 !
