Reply #22: My friend with the shoe leather skin... [View All]

[pipi_k]

coincidentally enough, this friend was over the other day and was telling me that she had tried a self tanner on her face but was upset that when she washed her face, the self tanner came off in the sink.

OK...in her younger years she spent a LOT of time in the sun.

She is 66 now and looks ten years older...but even ten years ago she still looked very wrinkled.


I asked her why do people go to such lengths to get tanned skin...her answer was that it makes them look "healthy".

WTF?

My skin is very light. My cheeks are normally pink. I'm 56 but people often think I'm at least ten...maybe 15...years younger than that, because I never saw the sense of cooking myself in the sun like the other girls did.

So.....let me get this straight.

Someone with tanned (but wrinkled) skin looks "healthier" than someone with light (but relatively smooth) skin?

OOOOOkay! Whatever they say....

:eyes:


PS...the really sad thing about this friend...she's now going around buying up shit that's advertised as being "natural" because she doesn't want to harm her (wrinkled) complexion with chemicals. And she invests in all types of creams and lotions, believing that they'll stop, or maybe even reverse, the wrinkling.

sad...very sad....
