Wrinkles

Suddenly there are lots of wrinkles on my neck and under the chin, feel so old ... Can't even cover these under the chin with a scarf if I feel like not seeing them. And some vertical above the lip....The HRT helps with other symptoms so I thought to ask how are you coping with this and if anyone has discovered what helps- not fillers etc.,.

It's probably the lack of oestrogen: which is the body's elastic. Bat wing arms is common too
. Scrawny neck ..........
Gentle cleansing at night in an upwards movement: chest to the chin under the neck : may help. It doesn't bother me as I don't have to look at it

Just a bit of a shock how quickly they all appeared, at 56. I will get used to it, thanks CLKD

Sometimes I think that wearing a burka would be the way to go

Speaking of spaniels,my boobs are like spaniels ears
I exfoliate every morning and cleanse every night,without fail, I don't have many wrinkles but yes,the skin is heading south,oh well,it's natural I suppose,why do we let all these frozen faced Botox lot dictate how we should look

I wouldn't waste my money!!!! Growing old gracefully. I will say that both grans, MinL and Mum have had lovely skin to the end because they didn't use 'much'. Ponds cold cream springs to mind
. Cuticura ointment. Plenty of fresh air, fruits and veg.. I remember paternal Gran having bat wings. Me, having survived various health scares, I haven't time to worry about wrinkles.

Exactly clkd,well put, I think we should be grateful we aren't really ill etc,health comes first every time
Although I hate aging and I do everything in my power to slow it down,there's nothing wrong in taking care of your skin though, I mean,why wouldn't you

The best cream for wrinkles would be testosterone!

But don’t put it on your neck or face, top of feet is the best place.
