obviously I only rub shell helix ultra under my eyes but i have a"friend" who is getting older and has a lot of wrinkles under his eyes...

any eye creams that actually work? looking at the boots range seem to have good reviews?

thanks

I thought moisturisers were all pretty much the same thing + scent/colour + marketing?

Do you drink men's water?

I've been using Kiehl's stuff for a couple of years now:

Dunno if it's making me less wrinkly generally or just slowing down the deterioration smile

Save yourself an awful lot of money and buy medical-grade moisturiser in a big tub from a pharmacy. Aqueous cream BP. At about £2.00 for 500ml it's about 1/200 the price of the fkery you can pay for, if you really want fancy branding on an inferior product. But - it's your money smile

Save yourself even more money by avoiding cosmetic nonsense entirely.
Keep yourself well hydrated - it'll help a lot more than just your skin - and learn to love the bloke in the mirror.

Eat healthily, don't smoke, don't drink heavily, get plenty of sleep, exercise, get outdoors, push yourself, feel good.

Failing that, botox, fillers and nip/tuck. You'll look silly, but you'll be convinced that it looks increasingly great the more you spend/have done.

Eat a st tonne of vegetables along with some fruit, stop eating processed foods or anything with more than five ingredients, stop drinking alcohol, only drink water, eat once a day (intermittent fasting) and exercise regularly. That will do your entire cellular health the world of good.

Or have a facelift.

st name but have a look at man polish on amazon. Not the tinted stuff.

I met the owners at a market before Christmas and got some. It’s is cheap and knocks the st out of the expensive stuff I’ve bought over the years.

I know look amazing after a month of use including the abuse of the Christmas period and a failed dry January. It’s hiding some serious sins

I had a fascial in December (don't laugh, it was a Birthday gift from my sister)

Beautician told me the best thing is grapeseed oil, so I bought a litre of the brand she recommened from eBay for £6. It's called Naissance 210 Grapeseed if anyone is interested. Use sparingly. Should last a couple of years!

Other thing is sunscreen - even in Winter.

And the usual healthy diet, limiting alcohol, no smoking etc

I was married to a beautician ( crazy hot matrix never fails) anyhoo I am well and truly in touch with my feminine side now as the two best things I took away from that marriage were my beautiful children whom I adore and my skincare! (oh and a huge lawyer bill but that should be in a different thread lol).

I have used Espa for many years now, during my hols the beautician said you have amazing skin with no wrinkles and at 40 I will take that. I am sure its the daily regime of looking after my skin that has helped.

To counter this feminine side I obviously bathe in engine oil, cut down multiple trees in my lumberjack shirt whilst also fighting fires in my spare timewhistle

I chose good genetics.

My Dad is fairly wrinkle free at almost 70. He hasn't moisturised in his life, nor is he a smoker or frequent drinker.
