Re: Neveon
in reply to a message by Satu
In Latin, and spelt with the i rather than the e, it would mean Snowy White. And where I live - perhaps where you live too? - there's a range of skin creams and such, called Nivea, to give us that untanned look I presume!

Untanned, no. Younger, yes. Nivea is really a product line. Most of their products are one of the thousands of products out there that purport to "reduce wrinkles and make you look 15/20/insert-X-number-of-years younger". Nivea also sells moisturising cremes, facial cleansers, and other similar assorted bath/beauty products, all with the same claim that they "make you look younger".Miranda

No ambition to look younger - I know when I'm beaten - but I bought some Nivea sunblock last week and used it through two days outdoors - which were grey and drizzly, so I don't really know if it worked or not. But for a whole morning I streamed with tears because it got into my eyes! I must have seemed to be supporting the losing team, which is NOT the case! (South Africa v West Indies, cricket, 5-day test match. We won - yaay!)
