That's Not My Age is of an age when wrinkle creams and anti-ageing products are the future/my only hope. (Still trying to find one to reduce the lines on my forehead - but I'm not sure that such a miracle-in-a-jar exists. Even super-strength Botox might struggle to fill these cracks and I'm too poor/scared to try). Anyway, I'm slightly flummoxed by this Pro-age antiperspirant from Dove. Containing moisturising cream and sunflower oil for sensitive skin - does this mean as well as the wrinkles, dry hair and old lady's feet I'm going to end up with tender 'pits? Maybe Pro-age deodorant will keep my underarms looking young? You know what they say about hailing a cab in a sleeveless top over forty. Or could it have dual-action properties, like haemorrhoid cream on eye bags? Perhaps it's simpler than that, maybe it'll just stop me smelling like an old person?

I haven't tried this, but my daughters bought me the body moisturiser for my birthday (think they were trying to tell me something) and I didn't like it, too thick and greasy. Let me know how you get on with the deo though.
Oh TNMA you are funny. Yes it is an intriguing question for our underarms!
Looking Fab - I have the moisturiser too but haven't tried it. I will feed back on any underarm developments.
Fashionistable - thank you. It's the anti-ageing antiperspirant, not me, that's funny!
Must say I do like the Dove adverts that use real women of different shapes and sizes. Is there an ad for this with armpits of different ages? Or a before and after pit picture?
Ha! this post really made me chuckle TNMA!
Exactly, why do we need a different anti-perspirant after we pass a certain birthday? Maybe it's just a scam to make us buy into more products BUT I have to admit that recently I have been wondering "Is mine working sufficiently well still?". Big admission to the blogosphere. Husband thinks I am being neurotic (and maybe it has been something to do with the hot temps. here recently in Oz) but I have swapped. To a *stronger* one. Maybe that is something to with advancing years? Not something I have discussed much though ... "Excuse me, do you think I smell"!!
p.s. It's Mitchum. So far, so good. (How effective is the pro-age Dove one btw!)
FG - haven't seen an armpit ad and I certainly won't be posting any photos of mine!
S-E - my sentiments exactly (why do we need an age-related deodorant, not do my armpits smell?!). I think your underarm situation is due to hot temperatures down under, not age. And Mitchum is a brillant name for an antiperspirant! Love it.
Hmmm. Not waving....whiffing? I've tried this but I'm not so Sure! Do grown up girls really need 'special' pits policing? There's some evidence that skin gets more sensitive post-menopause, so milder formulas may suit. But methinks cosmetic companies too often exploit 'kick her when she's down' style marketing to attract what it sees as the affluent - and desperate - 50+ consumer. So stick to your regular pit stop, I say. But an anti-p that stops your pits lolloping over the sides of your bra? Now you're talking!
The entire premise is off-putting! OLD pits? But it's funny, and I loved laughing this morning. Thanks for posting!
Crafty Crone - thanks for your advice I'll give this a go but think I'll be sticking to my regular pit stop. Like the idea of a cure for armpit hangover too!
enc- thanks for dropping by.
I only meant your piece made me laugh. I had never thought of it that way. The antiperspitants that last 48hrs make me go Mmmm too. Are these for people who dont wash every day? Guess so.
Haha. This is seriously funny. Maybe we can all try rolling it over our foreheads?
Oh gosh. I hope I don't have to worry about my pit wrinkles. Yeesh. Love your blog.
MM - I did actually consider doing that. I'll let you know if it works.
Kwana - thanks and I know, it's bad enough worrying about facial wrinkles let alone the underarm variety!
