What would make me look younger?

I hate to bring this up again - but I really thought that Theresa May looked much older than her 61 years when she was doing 'that dance'! Am I alone in thinking this? She was so stiff and quite stooped! :/

Theresa May has type 1 diabetes. This can cause stiff joints. Perhaps her stoop is connected to this as well?

I know it's too late for many - but not all - of us, but the best way not to look older than you are is to respect the sun. A shady hat and a good sunscreen will help to avoid age spots and wrinkles in later life. And sunglasses will keep you from screwing up your eyes and getting crow's feet.
However, what's the point of looking younger? Just be happy in your own skin - it's the only one we have!

For your face: fringe, sunspecs (all weather), little smile - not a grin please!

Leaning on supermarket trolleys. oh what I'd give to not have to lean on them,would'nt get round the shop without them.Try standing or walking upright when you just feel as though you want to cry with the pain of a bad back. you don't know what you're missing.

I do know steve

all I will add about dangling bust is that the words of that playground song “do your boobs hang low” have come back to haunt me

pray god may I never be able to tie them in a bow

I saw an amazing woman in John Lewis in Newcastle today.
She must have been well into her 80s and was wearing a red beret, red fitted quilted jacket, black skirt just below the knee, and red tights.
I think thought of asking her if I could take her photo but she strode off at high speed before I could catch up with her
I don’t think we should slavishly follow rules to look ‘young’ - just find our own style that we’re comfortable with, and clothes we enjoy wearing.
If you don’t enjoy nice clothes, don’t stress about it.

I agree with anno about avoiding the sun getting in your face and eyes, more to prevent eye damage than anything else.

Scarves hide a multitude of sins and add colour to your top line. And keep your neck warm! Jenny Murray does them wrong, Needs far more swoosh to it! Love her though.

Also. Didn’t know Theresa May is type 1 diabetic. All power to her. She’s doing her best in stressful times. I wouldn’t want her job.

Yesterday you looked younger than you did today. And being the age you are beats the alternative...other than that, have a friend who’s botoxed, put some godawful stringy uplift thing into her face. Yeh she looks fresh. Each to their own. I’m embracing my sad old. I

loopyloo
A DOREEN bra...?
Is that still advertised in the back pages of the DM on a weekend?
I'm sure there are prettier uplifting styles to be found.

Can anyone suggest a better bra than Doreen?
So am thinking about botox for my frown lines.
Asking about dying my eyebrows or having eyebrows tattooed to make them look better.
Ordering more contact lenses.
Making an effort to get out of the house and mingle with people.

I think eating too many stodgy carbs make me look older , I get jowly and saggy , physically and mentally !
It's my grandson 3 rd birthday today so more cake ! Yippee but sensible eating must start tomorrow , lovely new Autumn clothes in the shops - I love Jenni Murray scarves !

Loopyloo you can dye your eyebrows at home, and it does make your face look better IMO. Boots sell a kit which is simple to use. Which reminds me....

Not the Doreen!! That pointy conical horror must have been John Paul Gaultier’s inspiration!! Mum forced me to wear one at school when everyone else had a Wonderbra

Would suggest Freya or Panache. The Panache Clara is a lovely supportive full cup and comfortable. Definitely get a fitting though as Panache also tend to run small in the back.

I may be an ex employee but Bravissimo will always get my full recommendation for fittings and style selection. Beware the M&S fitters, they are no longer fully trained as they once were and you have an excellent chance of walking out with the wrong size.

feel sad for Doreen. She was one of my mates.

I love Bravissimo, muffin! I went in and said “I want modern boobs” and the lady knew just what I meant. Bra shapes change with the times and sticking to a past favourite is what dates you!

Some have said being overweight ages you. Yes it does if you are very overweight but I know some who have dieted and lost a lot of weight who now look 10 years older because of the wrinkles. There is a happy medium!

Why do 83% of older married men wear beige all the time? Some even wear beige shoes and have beige hankies. Often their wives are spectacular Birds of Paradise, elegant and smiley. Do these men also have beige minds?
GrannyGravy13; The above appeared in a posting way back 18/10/12.
There were also references then of Grandads being "hounded off". Not surprising they left if that was the prevailing attitude.

"The more things change, the more they stay the same!"

So what's the take on clunky necklaces like Gloria Hunniford wears? I think they're ageing and prefer a simple pendant or something light and understated.

And Theresa May.

Not a fan.

I think they’re fine, merlot, as long as they’re not worn with earrings. One or the other, imho.

Very 80s and unfashionable, unless they are ENORMOUS and you are under 40

I do the same thing, OldMeg. I have a very kind mirror in my bedroom and a cruel, unforgiving one in the bathroom. Bathroom mirror helps me put my makeup on accurately and bedroom mirror helps me out of the door feeling confident
