grannyactivist I completely agree with you. That women still, in the 21st century, allow how they look and other people's opinions to determine their lives is shocking. It almost seems as though we have gone backwards in time.
My WI had a Neal's Yard pamper evening recently. We were told by the young woman to use cleanser, toner, moisturiser, eye gel (to hide those wrinkles) and special night cream and hand cream and body gel. For goodness sake, apart from anything else all those things, plus make up, deluge the body in chemicals of various kinds. At least Neal's Yard is organic and relatively pure, therefore expensive, but cheaper products are loaded with carcinogenic items. I have read that the average woman eats 20+lbs of lipstick in her life!
Not for me or my daughters, thankfully. I have always used soap and simple moisturiser and am often told that I have excellent skin and look years younger than my age. I don't judge others on their looks, perhaps that helps!

Should Gransnet delay the first posts from new posters?
To think that London, or anywhere else for that matter, does not belong to any one demographic
