Why do some women look so good even in their 50s? Lots of collagen, exercise and tonics? Loreal has just introduced the Age Re-perfect Pro-Calcium Range, specially customised for matured skin 50 years and above to regain firmness and tone. I have not given this a try yet, but isn’t this a little too late if you haven’t started any beauty routine yet? Whatever promise it gives, to re-perfect skin that’s 50 years and above, you cannot be totally taken in.
It takes good maintenance like sleep, lots of collagen, exercise, bird nest and a consistent usage of a 3-step skincare routine from when you’re 15! I do agree though as you age, you will need a more and more powerful eye cream and if I were you, I will invest in the de-crinkling eye and lip contours treatment tube that costs slightly more than the day & night creams. Point is, I think this is a good upgrade from your current range if you’ve always good maintenance, but don’t’ expect miracles if you haven’t been hardworking all your life and expect this to transform your face.
My grandma tried the moisturiser and she has commented that it’s just like any moisturiser, although for the de-crinkling tube, she sees better visible results.
Orange-Peel skin is a beauty problem a lot of women face. Like stretchmarks, it’s hard for it to go away. What I have done with a problem area is to soak the area (e.g. bum) in a solution of warm water with Vit E oil… but this leaves your bathtub very oily.
Towel dry, but not too dry, RUB Salt all over. Table Salt. Wash off and towel-dry then apply your favourite collagen moisturizer. Also exercise and drink lots of water and you’ll be on your way to healthy supple skin very soon. For me, it’s a lot easier to treat cellulite than stretchmarks…. fortunately.
One of the reasons why we all love PALMER’s is because their products are always affordable. I’m not a big fan of PALMER’s products, but I have tried many of them – doesn’t hurt to spend that lil’ bit of money to treat our skin problems in the early stages rather than visit an expensive specialist at once. For those who have tried the dozens of stretchmark creams available in the market, I’m not sure if you have tried the massage cream for stretchmark from Palmer’s.
They market it as a pregnancy stretchmarks cream, which I think is more concentrated than most of their regular stretchmark creams. With a special combination of their usual cocoa butter formula, Vit E, collagen and elastin – the most essential elements of a good stretchmarks treatment cream, it helps prevent and reduce stretchmark. I have to say this – it DOESN’T yet REMOVE the stretchmarks, at least for me… but I’m finding it a good enough cream since I don’t have any extra appearing.
Comes in a 4.4 oz tube, it is a thick cream, it can be fussy to apply and leaves your hands sticky, but is a very good massage cream. If you have the time to take good care of your stretchmarks, invest in one of these. They’re not expensive and I personally find it a good exercise – because it’s such a thick cream, application takes a longer time for the skin to absorb it completely.
