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.
Although we all use a daily eye cream, we sometimes need extra eye on our tired eyes. After a hectic day at work, all you want to is to come home and relax on the couch with a mask on your face, or to listen to the radio or watch tele.
Some women hate using fresh cucumbers so they opt for cucumber eye pads. Those cotton-padded ones, like a cotton pad soaked in an eye solution kind. I have tried the PureDerm Cucumber Eye Pads, it’s much more convenient than preparing fresh cucumber slices, but they’re not as cooling even if i put it in the fridge and they don’t have that instant freshening up power like the cucumber slice.
If you’re lazy yet wanna pamper your eyes a bit, the eye pads can help… but if you’re really into serious eye treatment and care, get slicing on the chopping board!

Estee Lauder – an internationally popular cosmetic brand. Why is it so popular, is it because of their name and wide advertising and everybody thinks they make the best cosmetic and skincare products? Or are some of their products really worth buying?
Most of their stuff are expensive, but that don’t matter to us ladies, does it? As long it’s good… Well I’ve pampered myself last Christmas to the ultimate lifting eye cream. They promise to illuminate the eye area and reduce the appearance of fine lines and puffiness. One year of daily usage, I don’t regret trying it, but this eye cream is certainly not the best. I still prefer the traditional way of reducing dark circles and puffiness – the cucumber way! Quick and very cheap.
The ultimate lifting cream by Estee Lauder comes in a 15ml, 0.5 oz mini tub. If you have the money to spend, you can try it to see if it works for you. For me personally, it only works as a good moisturizer around the eye area, not worth spending that money to do that.
