I’m 62, have some dark spots from sun damage.

Irish complexion if that helps.

my usual stuff has been discontinued and it wasn’t that great. Ideally I’d like something on the glowy side.

ta in advance

If you search Nadine Baggott on Facebook or YouTube, she’s probably on insta too. She dose some great videos on products for mature skin, she’s recommended Embryolise before, so have a number of other people I watch. I’ve not used it yet but it’s on my list to try when I run out.

Erborian cream is good, both the BB and the CC

I adore Clarins but I think I’m lucky shade wise. I loved the feel of Clinique but everyone kept asking was I sick even though I thought the shade matched my complexion 😅 Estée Lauder is amazing but needs bit of work to put on, as in it needs to be really rubbed in, but everyone was complimenting me. I always use primer and spf no matter what btw. I didn’t gel well with it cosmetics or Erborian but a lot love them. L’Oréal was a shiny mess for me as was bare minerals. Best of luck!

ps sorry for going on cc creams and bb creams are my favourite things and I get them for birthdays/ Christmas etc!

Lumene CC cream is lovely. Its a Finish brand available in Boots

You can book in online for a colour match with boots No7 services, you go to the store and see a woman in person. I've done it recently. Absolutely no pressure to buy, the consultation is free. I got sorted that way. Really pleased with what I ended up with. Just gives the opportunity to try things you hadn't thought of at no cost. I've spent a fortune on the past on products that were fine for friends, but not not so much for my skin.

I'm only 40s but I LOVE Erborian.
