My skin probably looks even better than yours because I use a zero mag mirror -- just a regular bathroom variety mirror -- and I stand several feet away from it in dim light.

I look fabulous.

I'm with you just bee. I'm even hesitating to go for cataract surgery because I don't want to be any more horrified when I look in the mirror than I am right now. I remember telling a dermatologist that a friend of mine was recommending a 10x mirror and the Doctor referred to it as a "suicide mirror." Lol. At 63, I agree!

Or at least a masochism mirror!

Now Lyn, did you get that idea from some little old lady on a small tropical island?

Since making this discovery, I have attended all social engagements flat on my back. A beautifully decorated gurney is both a conversation starter AND reliable transportation. And I never have the slightest trouble making a dramatic entrance!

I'm stealing this idea.

Just a word of warning..... hopefully none of the guys at these events will mistake you for a "working girl" in that beautiful decorated gurney, while flat on your back.

This thread is adorable - thank you.

All joking aside, I'm 35 and have learned to use my 10X mirror with caution. I found myself tweezing within an inch of my life, chasing ingrowns. My chin was taking a little bit of a beating. Once I stopped tweezing with the 10X, my skin became clearer.

One has to think of contributing to her retirement fund.

My husband thought I was on the phone, listening to me giggle out loud when I read this. Good one, Lyn.

Now why didn't I think of that?

LOL!!! If we did not use those magnifying mirrors just think of all of us running around with black hairs all over our chins???
