Best face cream for a thirty-something?

[arabella36]

Would be grateful for your recommendations

I find this very good. (Sorry DM link but the only one I could find with an pic)

I have recently been using Génifique by Lancôme and think it is amazing!

ReVive available at SpaceNK - fabuoulous.

Also Strixaderm, I think only available at Fenwick.

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair underneath morning and night

I've been using Boots Protect and Perfect and I like it a lot :)

I've had that Lancome one as well and I loved it but I wasn't very flush when I needed some more!

Anything cheap! Makes no difference what you spend - all a complete load of marketing twoddle. Unfortunately you can only keep it soft.

I have a boots botanics serem which is so light. Probably the less chemicals the better.

Not spending more than £8 anymore.

New L'oreal Youth code range is v good and its made by the same co in the same labs as the Lancome Genefique range, and claims to do the same things.....I think it does and its a tenner : )

Anything that has a broad spectrum UV filter, pref with SPF 25+.

Go for the texture that you like. The contents of the moisturiser aren't strong enough to penetrate the skin, so your glow comes from water and a healthy diet. Sleep will also help your skin.

As you get older you need to exfoliate on a more regular basis. The dry patches around your nose isn't because you have dry skin, they are dead skin cells that need sloughing off.

Monthly microdermabrasion and annual IPL skin rejuvenation (in winter months when UV light is weaker)

Thanks to everyone for those recommendations, that's really helpful!
