Madam Plumrier says: Wear Sunblock, Idiots!

Bonjour, ladies and gentlemen!

Summer, or Super Wrinkle season as I like to call it, is upon us. This means scores of ignorant women will be exposing their tender skins to the harshness of the sun and the tanning salon in a desperate attempt to look good this weekend at the beach – never mind what they will look in bed in ten years time.

Once upon a time, women were afraid of hitting their forties and finding themselves with faces more lined than a walnut. Now however, girls as young as eighteen are sporting the kind of wrinkles my own grandmother would be ashamed of.

Abominable!

I am simply stunned at the number of teenage girls I see on a daily basis who have laughter lines and crows feet so deep it makes you wonder where their mothers were when these poor idiots first started sun-worshiping.

It never fails to amaze me that some older women will, through some very simple daily actions, maintain skin like a baby’s bottom well into their fifties – while young girls, with all the advantages that youth and energy and natural collagen can supply, will manage to look like a crypt keeper at the tender age of seventeen.

Add another thirty years of baking and the seventeen year old will look like Liza Minelli. Magnifique? Non!

This is an outrageous state of affairs but! It can easily be remedied by the simple daily actions I just referred to. Here they are:

a) WEAR SUNBLOCK. At least factor 30. I really don’t know how much simpler to make it. Wear sunblock. Every day. Every single day, rain or shine, cloud or bright – wear sunblock. Reapply it as per the instructions on the bottle, but especially after lots of sweating, swimming, sun exposure. Make the application of sunblock the focal point of your morning beauty routine, and NEVER skip it. Sunblock is highly effective in the prevention of wrinkles, lines and premature aging. It will stop you from looking like a tanned leather baseball mitt at the age of twenty. For the love of God, wear sunblock.

b) STOP TANNING. Yes, thats right, stop tanning.

But a tan makes me look skinnier!

Believe me my sweet, there have been many developments in the field of losing weight, and spending your tanning bed money on the occasional salad and a gym membership will make you look good a hell of a lot quicker than baking your copious behind on a tanning bed.

Not to mention the dearth of amazing fake tan products out there – gone are the days of the orange glow. We now live in an age where a gorgeous-looking tan is achievable without frying one’s skin in baby oil. No excuses!!!

c) WEAR BIG JACKIE O STYLE SUNGLASSES.

I don’t want to hear about how last year they are – the skin around the eyes is the most sensitive skin on your face, and it will be the first place to show lines and wrinkles. By all means apply sunblock there, but wear big glasses too. Trust me, people will think you’re a movie star.

d) PUT SUNBLOCK ON YOUR WHOLE BODY.

Honestly, what is the point of having a lovely face if your hands look like the surface of the moon? Age spots are not attractive. Apply sunblock to every inch of exposed skin, and ladies, wearing driving gloves is not only chic but will do wonders for your paws!

And that’s it! Those are all the steps you need to have gorgeous skin well into your old age, an old age you can actually enjoy because you’re not spending hours in chemotherapy wishing you had taken five minutes out of your precious day to apply sunblock.

Remember – it is never too late to start taking care of your skin. All the botox in the world can’t save your craggy face if you don’t protect it from the sun! And never mind those silly women who bray about inner beauty and dignified aging, as if inner and outer beauty are mutually exclusive. Believe me, it is far easier to be dignified when you don’t have the appearance of a sun-dried tomato.

    Dear Lady you are so right! If I had been more informed at the tender age of 17 I never would have used baby oil or hawaian tropic at all, I would have been using a 50 sunscreen then, LOL.
    We also must remember that our darling teenagers know more than we do about everything including sunscreen.
    I am a sunscreen addict. I use it just sitting at my computer facing my window during the day if I am not at work. I wear it at work too, even if I am not in the sun. Does that make me paranoid or careful? LOL.
    I have had a spray on tan before, it was fun while it lasted and it faded away in two weeks. I don’t think I’ll do that again too soon, I’d rather spend my money on some good sunscreen that I carry with me and go out and play! Always reapply as directed.

    Well after this these hats were sold everywhere in the market, but if someone is looking to cap and hats online with the best deals in today’s time then the best place to buy it is on the internet. There are various websites which are selling different kinds of hats on the internet and this is one of the popular ones during the winter season. Besides if someone wants to buy these hats at fewer prices then the internet is the fine place where they can buy some of these hats with ease. All one need to do is click and then makes the payment.

    The next time I go through a blogs, I really hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was eventually my choice to read, but I definitely reckoned you’d have something useful to share. Many I hear is a bunch of whining about something you could fix in case you werent too busy looking for consideration.
