Yes, it’s finally happened. I have bought a tube of moisturizer. I got my face kicked in Sunday’s rugby match and the resulting scratch and bruise have now dried out and my face seems to be peeling off. So, I went to the chemist and bought some cream to put on it. There was a bewildering array of potions and snake oil lotions, some including ‘Polynesian seaweed’, ‘biloba fruit’, ‘jojojoba oil’ and costing more than 40 euros for a puny little jar, so I opted for the cheapest own brand ‘crème de jour’ I could find at e1.65 per tube. A glance at the ingredients informs me that it contains a mysterious substance called ‘aqua’. Will it ruin my youthful good looks or ensure I remain handsome and wrinkle-free well into old age?

Or, it will help soften your skin, making you more attractive; which in turn should ensure more nooky.
Your call...Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

Apparently, the best stuff is a protein rich water based substance which can be easily produced. Now all I have to do is convince the GF to use this, and I get to "moisturise" her face every night!Comment

Though they don't use make-up.
I use to work with a guy who used concealer in an attempt to hide his bags.
Unfortunately he worked with 4 of us women who use to:
1. Try not to stare at his eyes
2. Take the piss when it wasn't rubbed in correctly."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
