[hollyisalovelyname]

Your suggestions please.

[KenDoddsDadsDog]

Elemis pro collagen marine cream

[Chipstick10]

Dermalogica intensive moisture balance or super rich repair

[topsi]

Ageing skin needs Retinol (vitA)

[jollydiane]

I like Aveeno and so does my 93 year old nanny!

[FayeKorgasm]

What Ken said. Amazing stuff but it is ££££'s

[NotTreadingGrapes]

Neal's Yard Frankincense nourishing.

I keep buying Elemis when it's on offer (goddamn you MNers) and I love the smell with a true and passionate lurve, but I don't actually think it's as good as NY.

[KenDoddsDadsDog]

I buy Elemis on offer and sometimes from eBay.
Must try the Neals Yard stuff too.

[NotTreadingGrapes]

Elemis is on massive offer somewhere at the mo' . I got an email this week. Possibly salon skincare?

[NotTreadingGrapes]

Yes, it's salon skincare. £85 for 100ml.

I am using Clarins Hydraquench preceded by the serum. Seems to be keeping the ravages at bay

Am also a big fan of facial oils. A little goes a long way and is v effective overnight.

Also exfoliate so moisturiser can sink in to parched skin.
I could get a job in the skincare hall at John Lewis at this rate,

[NotTreadingGrapes]

Oh yes, I slop a handful of rosehip/apricot/sweet almond/argan (whichever bottle I grab first, I'll join you in the skincare hall Grace!) when skin is very dry.

Hydraluron has entirely changed my skin and I can't rave enough about it. It is not cheap, 25 quid for a small tube but its lasted me ages and I am more glowy than I have been in ages. It is a pre moisturiser treatment (so i just use it after cleansing like a serum) and you get it from Boots. Check out blog reviews esp Beauty Mouth. It is just brilliant brilliant brilliant.

[Graceparkhill]

We would have lovely white coats and silk scarfy type things which don't unravel!

[NotTreadingGrapes]

and no orange faces like the Estee Lauder laydeeez.

Oh, rabbit has just reminded me I am also using a hyaluronic acid serum at the mo' which is lovely.

What's so great about the Elemis Marine cream? There was a poster last year raved about it and i biught it though waaayyy out of my budget but didn't seem to do much.

[Nerfmother]

Eucerin does a fantastic range in boots.

[KenDoddsDadsDog]

Mustn't suit your skin then. Roche Posay is good too from Boots

[hollyisalovelyname]

Thanks Ken

[BestIsWest]

I second and third the Neals Yard Frankincense. It is the best I've tried.

[CeeceeBloomingdale]

Aldi Lacura, seriously good and about £2!

[Summerloading]

Tried Elemis marine too, falling for all the yepe, and meh. Will check out Neal's yard,sounds great.

[Summerloading]

yepe? Damn iPad. Hype.

I've read very negative reports about Elemis on Paula's Beautypedia website.

I have used Clinique for years- all the versions for dry and very dry skin. Such as Moisture Surge and M Defence. But have been very impressed lately with Olay Regenerist 3-point cream, unperfumed version. Got from Amazon for around £10 instead of £30 in shops.

[KenDoddsDadsDog]

Clinique is horrible on my skin , like paint stripper whereas Elemis is fantastic. Depends what suits you.

[bella65]

I can't speak highly enough of Clinique TBH- for 10 years I had terrible eczema on my face and their moisturisers and foundation were all I could use without aggravating it- I don't use their toners ( in fact I don't use toners full stop)
