Each month we ask our Look & Feel Younger subscribers to test the best anti-ageing products on the market. Our testers trial the products for a minimum of 2 weeks and rate them according to their performance, value and feel good factor.
This month we tested protective face creams designed to hydrate your skin and provide a barrier against the elements for a more youthful look. Our top 5 performing products were:-
1. Elizabeth Arden, Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant:
|
|
This skincare classic restores, calms and helps relieve chapped, cracked and dry skin. It works efficiently to sooth roughness, redness and minor skin irritations. Comments: I found this product to be really effective in the cold weather and protected my skin and lips. It even worked well on the cuticles of my fingers. Price: £23 |
2. Monu, Essential Elements Intensive Care Cream:
|
|
A super rich cream to restore comfort and suppleness to skin damaged by the elements. Vitamin E works as a powerful antioxidant while arnica chamomile and elderflower help calm and soothe the skin. Comment : This cream made my skin feel really soft and moisturised. The pump design made it really easy to use. A lovely product. Anne, 56, London Star Rating : £26.50 Stockist: www.monushop.co.uk |
3. Aromatherapy Associates, Rich Repair Nourishing Cream:
|
|
Renew your skin’s vitality with intensely moisturising rainforest botanicals. Fair traded Inca Inchi oil from Peru provides plant omega 3s and cell renewal is stimulated by rose, patchouli and frankincense to soften and smooth the appearance of fine lines. Comment : This nourishing cream has proved excellent in cold weather and my face has felt smooth, nourished and protected. I would thoroughly recommend it and because you use so little it is excellent value for money. Cherry, 60, Maidenhead £49

4. Skin Doctors, Supermoist SPF 30+ Accelerator:
|
|
A light, non-oily moisturiser to protect the skin and shield from sun damage. Comment : It had a good consistency and didn’t feel too watery. Similarly it wasn’t greasy and absorbed well into the skin. It protected my sensitive skin against the cold weather. Star Rating : Price: £24.95
|
5. Nip + Fab, Moisture fix:
|
|
This moisture fix leaves skin hydrated and protected. Moisturising grape seed oil with its mild astringent qualities will help to tighten and tone, and improve the skin’s elasticity and meadowfoam seed oil will help to fight the signs of ageing and protect against everyday environmental stresses. Comment : This is definitely a good moisturizer which felt lovely and smooth when it went on, left my skin hydrated and was a good base for make-up, it absorbed really quickly but still felt effective. Cassie, 28, Putney Star Rating : Price: £16.95
