It could knock 5 years off your age !

Over the years I have tried Clarins, Clinique, Lancôme etc and can honestly say that the £2.99 day cream I now buy from Lidl is every bit as good, if not better than the premium brands.

Always use products fromThe Ordinary, skin never looked better , and average price point for products about £6.

Using moisturiser every day is the main thing not the cost . I use Lidl Q10 moisturiser usually. My DH bought two bottles of serum and two jars of moisturiser from my beautician for me for Christmas. So I use the Lidl one day and the expensive one the next. But nothing will ever get rid of the line between my eyebrows which came from frowning over accounts books for years.

I use Neals Yard Remedies as I like that there are no chemicals in them and they have essential oils which smell beautiful!! I think I'm lucky in having good genes as Mum didn't use these products and aged very well just using a cheap and cheerful moisturiser!

Boots were doing a voucher for a fiver off their new product so I bought some. I know it won’t work but I told the DH it was cheaper than a facelift and that seemed OK with him.

I slap Clarin and Protect and Perfect on my face every day and I still look my age, alas.

NanKate, although we know, for sure, that these things don't work - still we're somehow tempted to believe in magic. (It's so expensive it has to do something, doesn't it?)

The skincare/cosmetics industry, meanwhile, rake in the profits and 'laugh all the way to the bank' as my Mum would have said!

These days, I give generously to charities instead.

(Please don't paralyse your face with Botox and end up looking really weird - like some celebrities!)

Please don’t ignore skincare whatever your age...
This product will work but it’s stuffed full of chemicals as well. Have a look at the Ordinary range and Niod from deciem ..it really is good and reasonably priced. I am not selling it but I use various products. - it has natural and scientific ingredients and it’s based on valid scientific research .. our skin deserves some care.... And wear SPF ..the sun gives you the wrinkles !

I totally agree with your recommendation of the ordinary, are use it and find it very well priced and effective

I've got a Black and Decker sander if anyone wants to borrow then finish off with some 5000 grade wet and dry.

It works lovely on my woodwork! smooth as a ............

Do you recommend a coat of yacht varnish followed by steel wool and a wax polish to finish bikergran?

I’m fortunate, minimal, fine eyebrow lines and no tram lines, when I remember I use Nivea cream, and extremely rarely a dab of mascara, maybe once a year, no other makeup. My Mum had very good skin, so perhaps it’s inherited.

Brow lines, not eyebrow ?
