Try the Overnight Repair Mask, an intensive treatment to smooth and firm the skin with millet seed, palmitoyl oligopeptide, strawberry seed and rose & geranium essential oils. Use once or twice a week in place of a night cream so the powerful plant extracts work while you sleep. It costs 43 for 50ml, mail order on 020 8569 7030 or online at www. aroma therapy associa tes.com.
"Set to be the next Protect & Perfect for older women," is how No 7 is heralding its new Lift & Luminate Day Cream. An independent scientific study has proved it can rejuvenate skin, after Professor Philippe Humbert, dermatologist from University Hospital Besancon, France, undertook a six-month, double-blind, randomised test on mature skin, which found an increase in density, with the dermal fibres looking more aligned and ordered, as in younger skin. No7 Lift & Luminate Day Cream is at Boots, 19.50 for 50ml, the night version 20.50 and the eye cream is 16.50.
Roll your face in to shape with Sculptinex Instant ReSculpting Face Treatment which aims to help skin boost its own natural collagen production so elasticity, firmness and flexibility are improved, using Resveratrol, naturally found in the skin of red grapes and wine, helping to prevent future damage caused by
free radicals and loss of firmness using a roller-applicator. It's by Good Skins. Sculptinex Instant ReSculpting Face Treatment is out this month costing 35, from Boots.
Perfect for parched skin, Eve Lom TLC Radiance Cream has super-hydrating properties in a light, lifting formula for daytime use on the areas of the skin that need it most. Eve recommends trying it on the delicate skin around the eye and along the jaw line, which over
time loses natural elasticity and firmness. It's naturally fragranced
with Bulgarian Rose Otto so smells divine too.
It costs 40 from Space NK stores.
