As I have written about in a previous blog post, I am on a quest for a skin care regime that will halt the aging process for as long as possible!
It’s hard to know what you should be doing in your mid-twenties in regards to skin care as everyone is different, but I feel having a child and all that entails, along with endless partying during my university days has probably resulted in me having the skin age of a 30 year old, or older!
I figured that, if I start looking after myself now, maybe the ageing process will slow down a little (I can hope!). This brings me onto to a lovely Christmas gift I received from my brother. The Christmas gift being, Boots’ No 7 Day and Night moisturiser, along with lots of other lovely beauty treats.
Although the creams range from £20-£30, which is at the high-end of the price range I have been focussing on, they can often be bought on 3 for 2 offers or in gift-sets which makes them more affordable.
I have been using these creams now, for a little over a week and I must say this is the closest yet I have found to my ‘miracle cream’. My skin is most definitely softer and smoother, which makes make-up application a dream. I have also noticed the time in which blemishes take to disappear seems to have decreased significantly.
I have looked at the ingredients and undertaken a little comparison research and found that there is sufficient evidence to support my findings. There is a unique anti-oxidant complex which prevents further damage and supports collagen restructuring. A more interesting set of ingredients is the combination of peptides – including a Lupin seed extract – which aids skin repair and structural protein damage. This would correlate with my thoughts on the speed in which blemishes took to go.
I have also been told the eye serum is worth a try, so I may add this into the mix!
I will continue using these until they run out and let you know if they are still impressing. Have you tried any of the Boots No 7 range?

I have to admit, I am a true Clinique user through and through. I love their 3 step programme with the addition of the moisture surge. It's even better if you buy it all when there's a 'Bonus Time' and you get an excellent free gift, whilst also picking up your Boots or Debenhams points!
ReplyDeleteMight have to give No.7 a go next time though x
I have tried Clinique in the past and loved it too, but I am very impressed with what No7 has to offer and would most definitely recommend it. Let me know if you try it, as I am eager to know if it works on other people as well as it has on me.
DeleteIm also on this quest. Pretty hard to fins the perfect one. I got the L'Oreal day and night youth boost one(I think it was called youth boost). I have not really noticed much of a difference to ny skin and it makes my makeup not last as omg, it seems! I definitely must try no.7 now! Especially with their wee vouchers U get in boots! Thanks for this update, I really need to get a cream that works! :) xx
ReplyDeleteI feel like the No7 range is the best one I have tried.... And I have tried a lot! Let me know how you get on. X x x
