We don't want to reach for the knife,but we do want products that cut to the chase-the latest one's promise you fabulous skin in the future and great looking skin right now!
Are you a little more demanding about skincare theses days? Don't worry,you're not alone-were all for it.Right now along with a long term youth fix,we're looking for something more immediate.What's on the wish list? Maybe instant radiance,fast firming,speedy dry skin relief and quick little miracle worker's that sort skin niggles and lines in one go.
Put it down to the bargain shopper in us-two for-one's and instant deals are the norm for everywhere else,so why not our skincare? Here are some fabulous new skincare gems that do what they say.
More radiance instantly
In a recent survey,91 per cent of women said they would prefer being complimented on radiant skin than their hair skin and make-up. Mmm. The skincare gurus know us better than we know ourselves and have been throwing light reflecting opticals into products for ages,banking on the instant gratification they bring-that soft focus look that takes offyears. But opticals, along with everything else,are being refined and the latest really make skin super-radiant.Some go further and,harnessed to line softening technology,make a desirable double whammy.You can get that glow!
Tips If your skin is fairly line-free,smooth on Olay's Multi radiance, a moisturiser with light reflecting particles. If your skin is fairly line-free,smooth on Multi Radiance,then dot concealor just where you need it. Or try mixing it with your foundation for a youthful,dewy look. My Tip, Try superdrug's Natural High for instant radiance and it costs only a few pounds.
Products Olay Complete Care Multi Radiance,14.99 a daily facial moisturiser with vitamins and SPF15.Gives radiant skin in an instant.
Este'e Lauder Idealist Refinishing Eye Serum £$30 for 15mls. Optical diffusers blur fine lines.Ingrediants,including gluscosamine and vitamin C,give softness fast and keep on improving skin.
Clinique Repairwear Deep Wrinkle concentrate for Face and Eye, Hoists wrinkles from the bottom up,while surface optics blur the appearance of lines.
Problem Skin-sorted in a jiffy, even after we've waved goodbye to 30,skin problems may still crop up.Oiliness,late onset blemishes and general dullness can drive you crazy and,coupled with the battles against line,it can be nightmaresish.
Can we solve it? Absolutley.The experts never sleep and new multi tasking products are being rolled out for that moment when problem skin meets ageing skin head on.
TipsOil control moisturiser's that mop up immediatley and dull skin regimes that gentley peel 24/7 without damage,leaving your complexion looking younger and fresher.Plus new blemish controllers that protect skin from UV rays and give it a fresh glowey look too.We love those experts.
Clever Problem Solvers Olay Total Effects 7x Anti-Ageing Blemish care 14.99.Gives soft focus,brightens dullenss and diminishes blemishes.Perfect for stressed hormonal skin. Boitherm Anti-Rides Line Peel Night £/$41 and Eye Cream, use with Biotherm Anti-Rides Line Peel Day Cream, to gently refresh skin without any damage. Carita Ideal Controle Emulsion.£49.50 A gel cream that reduces oil fast tighten's pores and protects agasint pollution and ageing.
More moisture- in days or less Dry Dehydrated skin prompts dullness and fine lines.But we don't want to slather our skin with heavy creams that encourange make up slide.We're after something light that makes skin comfortable.
Can we feel smmoth again? Yes.
Tips Hydrator's are great for dry skin but don't look to them for big anti-ageing claims. Good hydration will plump out lines,but won't address other signs of ageing,such as declining collagen. My Tip, try taking a collagen suppliment, t's great for skin hair and nails. Always check with your Dr though.
Products Get makeup ready in miniutes and see improvement in 4 weeks with silky new hydrators like, Lancome Aquafusion SPF15. A hydrating cream with UV filter's that works beautifully.Good for the twenties and thirties. Guerlain Super Aqua Day Comfort Cream SPF12 3$40. Lush and fragrant.For all ages and fine lines. My Tip. I love Guerlain's products and though they are expensive they definaltey deliver results.I used their Aquaserum(sp) years.
Firm Contours-in no time at all,Firming and contouring products were mega big last year,but now technology has moved up a gear.Last year,they came with nifty little press,roll and massage techniques for optimum efficiency,this year you simply slip over skin and that's it.
Tips Skin firmers,in fact any moisturisers or skin treatments,work better if you exfoliate.Young skin can get away with once a week,older skin needs it at least two or three times.Exfoliate if you want younger looking skin. My Tip. I regularly use Kim's Epidermix MD twice a week.It gives professional results.
Genuis skin firmers Avon Anew Alternative Intensive Age Treatment £$18, Can tingle when you fisrt use it,but tests showed improved contours in two weeks,younger looking skin in four. YSL Contour Expert Reshaping and lifting Cream SPF10,£30. Ultra-comfortable texture,coupled with UV protection and great anti-ageing credentials. Shiseido Future Solution Eue and Lip Contour Cream $£59. Something different.An eye and lip cream that firms and freshens.After 4 weeks tester's loved their sag free eyes and reduced wrinkles! Guinot Age Logic Cellulaire £105.75. Rich,gel cream texture that is great to firm skin and decrease wrinkles. My Tip. If you love your skin care try Guinot, i truly loved their eye gel and have used their gorgeous fake tan.Their products are fantatsic but pricey.
Latest News for 60plus Lancome have launced a moisturiser for the 60 plus generation. Platineum Complete Restructuring Cream SPF15 £88 for 50ml Created specifically for the less than springy skinned,it features breakthrough research that spins around calcium. (Calcium definciency can affect not just your bones,but skin too,making it fragile and slackened.The cream aims to strengthen the skin's structure and boost resilience,givng you that bounce-back effect. Skin will feel firmer right away, will be makeup ready in miniutes-and it has long term benefits!Those under 60 will be seriously tempted!!! It could also be good for anyone past the menopause.My Tip,try Loreal Age Perfect for skin 50 plus.
