Wrinkles
« on: September 25, 2022, 10:43:42 AM »

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  ::)

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.
