Hey, I like this thread! Since I was out recently and nobody believed me when I told my age, I'll share.
Steeltrap, I'm with you with the makeup thing. I will wear whatever looks good on me, Lancome, Fashion Fair, Maybelline....
What I am sure to do, Onein a million, is to remove my make-up every night. I never go to bed with makeup on. I remove my eye make-up with petroleum jelly first and then I use cold creme on my face (Ponds or Suave). I have also used Fashion Fair's Deep Cleansing Lotion. To cleanse, I will use whatever is in the soap dish
followed with witch hazel.
The moisturizers I have used and have good success with are Fashion Fair's. I have used the oil-free one in the summertime since I'm oily this time of year.
The one and only utmost beauty tip I suggest for anybody (I learned from my mother who has never looked her age) is to constantly drink water, water, and more water.
