Keeping Skin Youthful

Unfortunately we can’t stop the clock and stay young forever, but we can help our skin to stay youthful looking.

With so many lotions and potions in the marketplace these days, choosing the right ones can seem very overwhelming. With this in mind, Gloss editor Emma put together her top five beauty products to help fight off the signs of ageing:

It’s rich, creamy moisturising texture includes Field Horsetail containing silica, which quickly absorbs into the skin and has a firming effect on the neck and décolleté connective tissue. The composition of moisture-balancing Marshmallow, Birch Leaves and isoflavone-rich Red Clover extracts helps enrich the skin with moisture, while eight plant oils, including Macadamia Nut oil and Argan oil, also provides intensive, moisturising care that helps to counteract the signs of ageing.
