Face up to this con

LIKE baroness bakewell, i also fell for a ‘free’ sample of face cream (Mail). Fortunately, i realised it was a scam and cancelled the direct debit.

On the advice of the Post Office clerk, another victim of this ruse, i returned the cream by the more expensive Track and Trace postal service, which proved i had cancelled before the deadline.

We older ladies are a pushover for beauty miracles, but i am afraid they are in short supply!

JUDY MURDOCH, Leamington Spa, Warks. i CAN’T believe the amount of money that women are prepared to spend on skin products that don’t work.

The best beauty treatment is to look after your teeth because they

support the skin and muscles of your face. I am sure my cheap pot of Astral cream has just as much effect as far more expensive beauty treatments. Mrs COLLEEN BRUNTON, Enfield, Middlesex.
