  1. Review: Avon Anew Reversalist Tried and Tested

    Comment
    Product Review by Patricia I tried a 3 mini pot package of Avon Anew Reversalist which comprised a cleanser, daycream and nightcream. Here are my comments  Description of product: small pots of skin care and cleanser in a neat package very pleasant and easy to use ideal size for travelling took up little space but was very effective in keeping my skin looking and feeling good.  More than ample for a 2 week holiday. What are the active ingredients? According to the Avon website it restores vitality with Tri-Elastinex Technology and an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), to help renew, regenerate and reconstruct, for visibly firmer skin. The daycream also incorporates an SPF of 25. How is it used? How often? Morning and night How easy is it to use? Smooths on easily. I particularly liked the...

  2. My top skin tips for the party season

    Comment
    by Miss Jonquille Chantrey  As a surgeon and skin specialist my work has taken me around the world researching skin function, complex skin types, skin grafting and burns.  However, I see patients everyday that are confused about basic level skincare and tired of wasting money on creams that don’t work – should I use a cream or a serum, or both? As we approach the depths of Winter I thought I’d share some key points on protecting your skin in the cold months ahead whilst getting it smooth and radiant for the party season. Protect your lips The skin layers of the lips are only three to five cellular layers thick, much thinner than the rest of the face that can be up to sixteen layers thick.  A lack...

  3. Review of Ogario London Styling Mist for Natural Hold and Volume. Tried and tested

    Comment
    Review by Ceri Wheeldon When it comes to styling my hair, which is incredibly difficult to manage being very fine with a lot of natural curl, I have always relied on my trusted firm hold volumising mousse – it would take a lot to have me even think about changing to anything else. I posted  a review of  the Ogario hair mask  some time ago, and so when Ogario contacted me suggesting I might like their new styling mist, I said yes, but with some scepticism as to whether it work for me. I was pleasantly surprised. It comes in quite a small bottle (compared to my trusted mousse) and when I read that only 3 pumps of the mist were needed I have to confess to using considerably more the...

  4. Product Review: True North Body Lotion, Hand Creme and Lip Balm tried and tested

    Comment
    Review by Ceri Wheeldon When it comes to caring for mature skin in winter, I always think skin needs an extra boost to combat the drying effect of central heating indoors, and the chilly weather outdoors. I assumed the Scandinavians would know a thing or two about skincare during cold weather and so decided to try the Moisturising Body Lotion, Nourishing Hand Creme and Lip Balm from True North. TRUE NORTH Moisturising Body Lotion TRUE NORTH Moisturising Body Lotion comes in a pump action bottle.  A little goes a long way. It is easily absorbed into the skin, and skin instantly feels softer – and soothed. It is hard to describe the scent – it is very subtle and ‘fresh’ – which I prefer as it...

    Comment
    Review by Patricia B. Nourished advanced serum, daycream, night cream and  eyecream is a range of skincare products developed for women in their 50s and 60s. We asked Pat to try out the range. This is what she had to say about B.Nourished after using for a month. Is there a specific problem this product is supposed to address? If so, what is it? Care and nourishment of the skin reducing wrinkles Description of product: serum, daycream. nightcream. and eyecream What are the active ingredients? Palmitoyl tripeptide Spanish needle plantain vitamin b3 How is it used? How often? Smoothed on day and night How easy is it to use?

  6. All you need to know about Age Spots

    Comment
    By world renowned skincare expert Lorena Oberg As we all know very well, when we get older our body begins to be less responsive and resilient to the elements. Whether it be the smile lines that don’t quite flatten out after a good laugh or noticing additional brown patches after a holiday in the sun. For a lucky few, pigmentation spots won’t affect you but for those Fab After Fifty readers who suffer from age spots, this is my go to guide. What are Age Spots and why do we get them? Age spots, also known as liver spots or sunspots, are flat brown or black spots on the skin. As we age, the melanin (the part of your skin which gives it colour) becomes more active. This means it is more responsive to...

  7. Review : Murad Invisiblur : Sunscreen, moisturiser and primer in one (with video)

    Comment
    Review by Ceri Wheeldon I love products that can multitask and make a difference to mature skin.  I am not a great fan of most  traditional sunscreens for the face as I tend to find that they clog my skin and tend to bring me out in a rash – not a great look. I have always liked  the Murad products developed for mature skin, so I tried and tesred Invisiblur and it does  not disappoint.     Acting as a moisturiser, factor 30 sunscreen and primer in one, it is a great product to have as part of your morning skincare routine. I love skincare products that tick more than one box! I can see why Invisiblur is becoming a favourite with makeup artists –...

  10. Review: Time Bomb Larger Than Life Shampoo and Conditioner

    Comment
    Review by Ceri Wheeldon Who doesn’t want thicker, fuller looking hair? I think that hair should quite literally be your crowning glory at any age…but midlife hormonal changes can play havoc with hair. I am always on the lookout for products that can restore lustre and volume – in fact I often buy professional grade hair products from my hairdresser  to try at home. I was a  fan of Lulu’s Operation Glam products, so was keen to try the new Time Bomb haircare range that are replacing them. I was n’t disappointed. One of the problems I have found with a lot of ‘thickening’ shampoos is that although  they add volume, they also add weight , which tend to make my hair flatter (my hair is long, well below my...
