I wear makeup less and less often each year because I think my face looks fine without it, and heavy or badly applied makeup looks worse and worse the older the wearer is. Because I don't wear it so often, my makeup application skills grow weaker every year.

I shave only because of societal expectations. 1/week in the winter, 2/week in the summer, only up to the knees. If I wear a bathing suit, I'll do the bikini area, but my thigh hair is pretty light, and, really, at my age, no one looks at them any more.

The facial wax and bleach (and electrolysis for the next big birthday) is because I don't think I look good with a goatee. Stupid genetics. :P
