Makeup can age the skin

[Roses]

When I was appearing on a TV programme some years ago, I was subjected to having makeup applied by the person whose task that was. I very rarely ever wear it, not seeing the point of it. The woman told me that my skin was in very good condition, and I didn't look my age because I didn't wear makeup on a regular basis. I will be 70 in a couple of years time but don't as yet have any wrinkles.

Many woman plaster themselves with the stuff and don't look any better for it, imo.

Genetics, LR Genetics.

I have wrinkles but have never worn make up. Contrary to vicious rumours put about. 

[Humph Warden Bennett]

I used to wear make up during my amateur operatics days.

What has always made me smile has been the claim that after shave closes the skin pores. We all know that is just an excuse for men to wear perfume without calling it by its proper name.

What is wrong with a bit of aftershave as long as a guy doesn't drown in it, like some of the lads on their way to school?

I’m allergic to most perfumes, aftershaves and cosmetics, and use natural alternatives. If people knew what was in the stuff they douse themselves with they’d probably think there was quite a lot wrong with it.

I like a dab of perfume if I am going somewhere, it hasn't done my skin any harm.

It probably won’t do your skin any harm at all.

The chemicals you are breathing in and that your skin absorbs and circulates throughout your body... however...

Well perfume hasn't done me any harm, so I am not concerned about it, besides which I don't use it daily, or much of it.

See, this is what happens. A clear example of what happens if you use too much Old Spice. A sad case....

What kind of gay man do you take me for? (Don't answer that)

I had you down as more of an Acqua di Parma man.

Are you feeling quite well dear?

[Aruntraveller]

I said I was gay, not profligate.

Although did you know you can now get parma violet flavoured gin? (I know its not related - it triggered a memory)

Which would work as a drink and a perfume?

[Steve H]

[Parma-violet flavoured gin] would work as a drink and a perfume?

and a bog-cleaner. I've tried gin once in my 67 years. Vile stuff. I dare say it's an acquired taste, but I don't think I'll bother acquiring it.

[Robbie]

Just the thought of gin (which like you I tried once) causes me to be nauseous, I can even remember the smell.
Not surprising it was once called "Mothers ruin".
Bog cleaner but definitely not make-up remover!

[Rhiannon]

There’s two origins for the phrase ‘mother’s ruin’. One is the effects that the consumption of gin had on families in Georgian times. The other is the belief that a bottle of gin and a hot bath could induce a miscarriage. The latter was once featured on an Eastenders scene with Sharon and Michelle.

[Robbie]

Apropos of nothing when I was a teenager and first heard about gin and hot baths, I thought people poured the gin into the bath. It's not something you think about often but it wasn't until well into adulthood when I saw a television drama with a woman in a hot bath swigging gin, that it dawned on me they had to drink it!

Yes, I remember that now too - think it was called a ‘gin bath’ so of course that did sound like bathing in gin...

[Robbie]

Glad you said that, I thought it was just another example of me getting hold of the wrong end of the stick.
