I have been given lovely and expensive creams, I too forget to use them. Don’t worry, they last for years and smell lovely years later!

I've had various creams over the years, from cheap to expensive. It's all a waste of time, money and cream with me 'cos I forget to use them!

My DD is a very kind and generous girl, and has just given me an extraordinarily expensive jar of face cream.
It pretty much promises to restore my old face to its teenage brightness, but I have my doubts!
It’s very nice, and smells lovely, and there’s no doubt that the beautiful jar makes a statement sitting on my dressing table, but is it worth spending the price of a week’s groceries on 30ml of face cream?
I’m 71, a lifelong user of good old Nivea, and tho’ I say it myself, I have less wrinkles than average. Therefore, although I accept my daughter’s loving gesture with immense gratitude, I probably shan’t stick to this expensive stuff!
What do other Gransnetters think - is it with spending a fortune on skin care, or shall we stick with the well-known everyday brands we were brought up with?
