Moisturiser for my mum

8 replies

fimoing123 · 22/03/2019 11:10

My mum's asked for moisturiser for her birthday so I'm looking for recommendations for mature dry skin (late 60's). She's normally has Olay, L'oreal, garneir on the go, but I'd like to get her something that's more of a treat. NOthing too fragranced. Any suggestions?

My mum (69) likes boots no7. She uses protect & perfect which is more for younger skin but they do a richer cream for the 60s woman, I cant remember the name but the lady on the counter will know.

You can get other items in the range like serum, cleanser, eye cream, night cream

I actually think the L'Oréal oil in cream one is really nice. It's rich, smells nice and is indulgent. I know it's not a plush brand but maybe get some other bits from the range too or a nice posh lipstick?

Oh. It is fragranced but natural oils and my dry sensitive skin likes it!

I'm not keen on over fragranced stuff either and some of my favourites are Clarins, Estee Lauder and Kiehls, all around £40-£50

Neal's Yard Frankincense is great for mature skin. I have bought that for my Mum in the past, also Decleor do some good ones, and Liz Earle Superskin is nice.
All available on sites like Feel Unique, Allbeauty, Look Fantastic etc where you can pick up codes and freebies.

I am a little bit younger than your mum, and I love the Elemis pro-collagen range. It’s a really lovely texture, and feels very luxurious.
