As much as I hate the idea of a society governed by looks, you can’t deny that most of us do care about our appearance to some extent, whether it’s simply dabbing a bit of a concealer over a massive spot or spending an hour every day on an elaborate hair styling routine.
(In case you couldn’t guess, I’m in the ‘light dabbing of concealer’ camp. Except I don’t actually own any concealer. Opps.)
I’ve always been ‘lucky’ though in that I have really young looking skin, partly due I like to think to the fact that I’ve never smoked or excessively sunbathed and have worn a moisturiser with SPF15 for the last 20 years, but mostly I suspect because I just have very greasy skin. Seriously, my nose is so slick it doubles as a lip balm.
(True fact. I saw it once on Oprah. If you’re stuck for Vaseline just rub a bit of nose grease on your lips.)
Bee has inherited the nose grease gene, and recently tried to bill me for expensive skincare products, but as I pointed out, I was technically saving her money on anti-ageing regimes, so it all balances out.
Check out the infographic below. Would you rather be slimmer or younger looking? How would you choose between moisturiser and Facebook??

I think I’d like to be younger looking rather than slimmer! I’ve never been slim my whole adult life although I’m getting there with my Slimming World plan! But I do have lovely skin and my mum looks younger than her years so I’m hoping this goes for me too!
I’ve just nominated you Jo for a BiB award for Writer category! Fingers crossed!

Interesting facts I am blessed with looking younger than I am, but definitely would choose to be slimmer and I’m getting there as I have lost a lot weight over the last yr or so.
It’s funny you should say about having greasy skin, my daughter once asked me why I had a laminated nose!
A few days ago the local shop refused to serve me wine because they thought I looked under age and didn’t have ID on me, I tried to explain I have a sixteen year old son which they didn’t believe, then I tried explaining that I am a mother of six, they looked even more suspicious so I just gave up!
This is a tough one. I would like both please.
