Absolutely agree, Margaret, my mother had fairly good skin, wasn't too wrinkly even at 79 when she died, and I am lucky enough to take after her.

I never wash my face. I use baby wipes instead. They work fine.

For all those who recommended the cheap Aldi cream - Cien, I bought some today to give it a try.

Thanks
Anne

At 73, and with a skin most people say is excellent. Have always used any cheap moisturiser, more often than not it is sensative baby lotion. I am trying Simple rich moisturiser at moment, but I think a gentle soap helps, not too much face washing either. It doesnt need scrubbing. Suffer from skin allergies everywhere except face! Bought a longhandled applicator from Kleenezee to cream my back and find it effective. Jean

I use anything and everything, never have had the money to go mad but am lucky that my genes give me reasonable skin. Superdrug do a good vitamin e cream which I have used in the past and it works well.

I use Nivea Soft in a tube, as you dont get dirty fingers in the pot. Not that I dont wash them.

I am allergic to Lanolin, and have had the most horrendous rash on my body, due to warm weather.I used E45 on my body, but think it may have lanolin in it, as they were getting no better. Now use acqueous cream, also switched from baby soap for my body to the good old fashion Wrights Coal Tar Soap, which my cousin's wife recommended. Spots all going now.

Thank goodness, as I looked like a bear scratching my back against chairs.
