Really? I am half Irish and half Croation, and spent a lot of time on a sailboat in my teens and 20's with SPF 4 to maybe 8 which was considered to by like Zinc Oxide in those days. I was quite freckled before the retin a. I really noticed a difference after using the retinoid for about 3 months. My freckles are virtually gone. The underlying skin tone was always pale, so I dont mean that. But Mary grew up in Oz, so even with the actual Zinc Oxide, you are taking a lot of sun.

I thought it was public that Mary used actual skin whitening products. Didn't her former beauty therapist reveal she was using his skin whitening products? Then he suddenly fell out of favour?  |

Fillers can look just awful I mean look at Madonna with crazy pillow face. Then look at Caroline of Monaco I mean no contest. I'm getting turkey neck and jowls and age spots and I hate it but I just have to keep applying sunscreen and hoping for the best. I'm more bothered by all the whiskers coming out of my chin lol.
 Amen Sista! And may I say, You look marvelous! (you're welcome to borrow my bright, magnifying mirror any time  ) I've never dyed my hair and have a natural salt and pepper thing going. I love it and after years of women to chicken to do it saying "why don't you dye your hair" or "I wish you'd dye your hair, looking at it makes me feel old" (Yes, someone said that)", it's suddenly..."oh I wish my hair looked like yours" and "if only I were that brave". One frenemy said, "I've thought about it but I don't want to look like an old hag". When I snarled back at her, she got all "don't worry on you it looks classy" LOL I've had too many cancer surgeries, I don't go under the knife for anything not life threatening. JMO but when you spend so much time and money worrying about how you look on the outside, I fear you're missing something important inside> self-esteem and personal self worth and I feel sorry for them because it seems to be a plea for attention. JMO JMO I wonder if Fred or Albert ever glance up and don't recognize their wife? I had the same uncanny feeling when I had my chemo cut, I'd see this woman in a window and think, she looks familiar......  |

I'm letting me age naturally also.
No longer feel the pressure to dye hair. Salt and pepper hair.
Have an amazing hair dresser who "gave me youth" when I asked for a "rock-n-rolla" cut.
Live in a higher altitude area but don't like sunscreen so I get out just enough to tan a bit and to initiate Vit D.
Loving a CoQ10 cream.
Don't know how to wear make-up well.
Seriously, no mascara, no shade, no blush, no contouring of brows nor cheeks, etc.
So I just grabbed mousse cream foundation to even out color.
And I like a neutral brown lipstick.
I do have some freckly spots but they will go away with winter.
And I do have several "birth tags".
Am not gloating. But I have no wrinkles.
And have them "to die for" cheeks that Mary purchased.
Mine are not plumped and look painfully nut hard.

I thought so too. It was Ole Henriksen, and IIRC, he blabbed about all the products Madame was using and then got shunned for it. It really shouldn't have been a loss for him, IMO. Madame was starting to look like Michael Jackson in his later years due to the bleaching. I wouldn't want her associated with my products. |

That alleged shunning was probably the best thing that's ever happened to Ole. No loss there. |

Ole is very popular in Denmark so he hasn’t suffered at all for Mary’s “freezing him out”.

I think Fred probably sleeps in another chamber to avoid the hot mess he married. I think Albert must like it after all wasn't he the one who found a plastic surgeon to turn his wife into a grade B version of Grace? That's some weird kink but ok if it works for them. |

We have seen Mary try everything, I remember when she was going for the snow white look and now she wants to look tanned as she gets older.

Of course, there are very very few female royals that have not seen a plastic surgeon therapist. ( though should they have Marge on the patient list of their resident dentist, we know it's a hoax)

Correct. Mary for example suffers from a deviated soft tissue problem that kept her and her loving spouse awake at night.
