Woman's HourAvailable for over a year
The comedian Jenny Eclair shared her frustration this week about beauty products aimed at older women. She believes there is a 鈥榳hispering conspiracy鈥� against older women to look younger and that women of a certain age are only valued by their looks. But does she have a point? Why do we choose to purchase products if we know they don鈥檛 make any difference? And do older women have a responsibility to look their age for younger generations? Jenny 脡clair joins Jane to discuss along with Trinny Woodall, who has founded her own makeup brand, 鈥楾rinny London鈥�.
