"After all, the Hambleton-Jones woman spends a lot of her time telling women who don't wear make-up that they must do so — in order to look younger. See, it keeps you young-looking while you're awake, but wear it while you're asleep and it sends your skin hurtling through time itself." |

I don't buy the 8-days-instead-of-1-thing either, but the "night-time mechanism" is simple. During the day, the makeup sits on your face, and you probably don't touch it much. At night, you mash it into your pores with your pillow. |

That could only explain how it was less aging during the day than at night, not how it was aging during the night but youth-giving by day. |

The youth-givingness during the day is merely because it is creating an illusion of youthful perfection. She's only claiming to make you LOOK ten years younger. You make yourself look older all by yourself. |

Surely, though, there is no difference in the action of the skin in day and night. Therefore, the make-up, if it does cause ageing at an accelerated rate, must do so at the same pace in the day and the night. If '8 instead of 1' is true then I doubt women, especially seeing as, on average, make-up is worn longer in the day than the night (if at all), would wear make-up at all. |

The Hambleton-Jones lady has a point, although she has muddled it by confusing night and day. Most make-up does age the skin at a higher rate than normal. Just take a woman who has worn makeup everyday for many years and compare her face, WITHOUT MAKEUP, with that of a same aged woman who has never worn makeup. Better yet, compare her face, without makeup, with a somewhat older woman who has never worn makeup. I think the comparison of 5 years with makeup everyday, at age 20, versus no makeup ever, at age 55, is pretty accurate. |

Sorry, but I've known a lot of women whose data doesn't fit your theory. |
