Should I just buy some cheap generic stuff online or will one of the expensive brand name ones give better results?

I've not read the article..

...but I can beleive that looking at your face as it ages can make you feel older, act older and become less active - because you're too old for that nonsense.

All of which will 'cause' you to age :o)

I've seen this effect in a few older relatives and (at 55!) I'm already having to deal with others telling me I'm too old to do that. Whatever that is, ride a bike, climb, abseil whatever it is I want to do).

They can all do one - but they are having an effect on my subconscious. I do, occasionally, hear a little voice in my head say "you're too old mate" and that's my biggest worry now. That one day I may give in to that voice :o(

There's a part of me that's always been wrinkled.

There’s a part of me that’s always been wrinkled.

Is that the part where god used up the surplus bit of elbow skin?

Should I just buy some cheap generic stuff online or will one of the expensive brand name ones give better results?

It's all the same stuff. Whoever decided to market separate face cream / hand cream / foot cream / arse cream / stretchmark cream / day cream / night cream / goddamn eye cream instead of just "skin cream" must own their own island by now.

@JAG i’m 53, for the love of god, do not tell me that 55 is too old!

@thols2, if you want shot of your wrinkles, go straight for botox

An ex used to put piles cream (preperation H?) on her face. Said someone she knows who "works in TV" recommended it for wrinkles so must be true. 🙄

God knows. She just looked shiny to me.

I'm 69 and that's not too old.

Have been told this by the woman in my office who used to do modelling.

Rub it on your balls and do a Right Said Fred tribute at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Let's be clear - NOTHING is too old unless you decide it is.

As Henry Ford once said "if you think you can or you think you can't, you're right" :o)

BUT watch out for 'others' they will tell you you're too old simply because they think they're too old (to do whatever it is you're doing) NOT you.

Ageism is a thing and it is pervasive in our society.

Long term - the answer is sunscreen. A neighbour of ours has been a sun tan addict all her life. Never used sunscreen. At 60 she closely resembles that picture up there.

Sunscreen and never laughing, frowning or using your face in any other way to show emotion. Also grow a beard. Anti-wrinkle and anti-aging creams all seem similar to me.
