About me
I am 68 and I retired at the end of 2016 after successfully operating my business for 31 years. Now that I have plenty of time on my hands I am enjoying learning all I can about skincare and makeup, especially as I am now so aware of how skin changes with age. I am very interested in keeping my skin and hair healthy and radiant, and of course trying to keep the wrinkles at bay. I love trying new products, particularly ones for mature skin.Age range
