 I received one of my absolute favourite products in this gorgeous package: the Cyclax Moistura cleanser/toner 2 in 1. I love this product so much. I already have a review of this if you would like to see, HERE. The post also includes the super-duper Cyclax Moistura Daily Moisturiser for normal/dry skin too.

I’m really happy to be able to try now the Gentle Facial Exfoliator, the Treatment Hand Cream and Cyclax Nature Pure Vitamin E Face and Body Cream. This face and body cream intrigues me, I don’t think that I’ve used a suitable cream for both face AND the body, well I shall find out shan’t I? I hope you will come back soon and I shall let you know how I got on with these lovely products. 

Take care of yourselves.

No7 Protect and Perfect Intense Advanced Day and Nightcream.

Hello lovelies, welcome to Elegant Ageless Beauty, I’m Teresa. I hope you are all doing okay.

I’ve got some more gorgeous skincare from No7 to share with you today. I just need to explain to you that the packaging has changed for this range of No7 products, but the formulation within is still the same. So, I’ll start with the Protect and Perfect Intense Advanced Day Cream.

A daily moisturiser with the protection of SPF 15. ( I would however also add a separate SPF) The day cream is formulated with Ginseng extracts to help fight the look of tired dull skin, with Antioxidant Complex and Rice Peptides which helps to protect the skin from the environment. Hyaluronic Acid in this day cream will leave the skin feeling plumped and moisturised. MATRIXYL 3000 PLUS is No7’s own next-generation anti-wrinkle peptide technology. 

This feels gorgeously rich for a day cream, and massaging into my face I could feel the nourishment my skin was getting, my face really does drink in this product! It’s very much one of those products that you can see working within days of using it too, well for me I noticed the difference in my skin with a week. It’s more glowing, moisturised/hydrated, definitely plumper and so soft too. It’s a fab base to start putting my foundation onto as well. The No7 Protect and Perfect Intense Advanced Day Cream is well and truly a staple in my skincare regime now.

Then onto the No7 Protect and Perfect Intense Advanced Night Cream., and it’s another beauty too!

Just like the day cream, the night cream has new-look packaging, and again the product inside is still the same. This night cream is formulated with Vitamins A, C, and E which helps to give the skin a fresh and radiant look. There’s Hyaluronic acid within to help provide hydration. Matrixyl 3000 PLUS is No7’s own next-generation anti-wrinkle peptide technology. It is meant to target the appearance of lines and wrinkles, therefore giving the look of younger-looking skin. With a Double Defence Technology, the formula protects the skin from free radicals generated by suns exposure. The night cream is working through the night to help re-energise the look of the skin, leaving it looking fresher in the morning. 

I have to say that since I started using this gorgeous cream at night time, my skin in the mornings always looks bright and fresh. Again it’s a really rich night cream they do tend to be richer than the day cream, but OMG, my skin loves this! And I love this night cream right back! You can find this and other No7 Protect and Perfect products HERE.

I have another Protect and Perfect product coming to EAB soon and I hope you come back to see it. In the meantime take care of yourselves, stay safe.

No7 Youthful Replenishing Facial Oil.

Hey there my loves, Welcome to Elegant Ageless Beauty I hope you are all okay and staying safe.

I’ve been using gorgeous facial oil over the weeks, mostly in my night time routine. It was in one of my Boots beauty boxes that I purchased a while ago, so I thought that I’d come back and share with you how I got on with it. This is the No7 Youthful Replenishing Facial Oil.

This is a lightweight non-greasy oil formulated with an active blend that mimics the skins natural oils. It contains lovely Jojoba oil which helps to keep moisture locked in. It’s also Hypoallergenic so perfect for sensitive skin too. The oil can be used twice a day but I tend to stick to my evening routine, where I use it with my jade roller. To be honest, I don’t know if the Jade roller is doing anything good to my skin, but I do enjoy using it I find it so very relaxing. The oil however is really rather gorgeous and doing wonders for my skin. It’s glowing, it’s soft and smooth and at 61 years old (today is my birthday) I love the way my skin is behaving right now. 

You will find the No7 Youthful Replenishing Oil just HERE.

Thank you so much for stopping by and reading today, take care of yourselves.

All About The Base. No7 Airbrush Away Primer and Foundation.

Hey there my lovelies! Welcome to my blog, this is Elegant Ageless Beauty, I’m Teresa.

So I have been sharing my love of No7 skincare here on EAB, I thought that I’d share with you two more face products. This is the No7 Airbrush Away Primer and the Foundation.

I actually stopped wearing a primer underneath my foundation because by the end of the day I would have a breakout of spots on my cheek and sometimes my chin. This was down to, I think, that the primer was too heavy/thick for my skin. So I was pretty happy to get this No7 Airbrush Away primer in one of my Boots and No7 beauty boxes, I had already purchased the foundation previously. The primer is Hypo-allergenic and contains Hyaluronic acid spheres to give the skin that soft, blurred appearance to pores and fine lines. It also evens out the skin tone. the primer is white and creamy in appearance and feels so light when it’s applied, not thick and oily like other primers have felt before on my skin. This makes my skin look and feel smooth and almost fresh looking. Although I am showing this primer with its “bestie” I have used it with other foundations and it has worked perfectly with all of them. They all lasted for as long as I was wearing my makeup until I removed it later that day/evening, and not one spot/zit/breakout/blocked pores. This Airbrush Away primer by No7 has just become my new “hero” makeup product, something that will be on repeat order from Boots, for sure. You can find it HERE.

The Airbrush Away primer does have a “best friend” in the Airbrush Away Foundation. This really is rather gorgeous! It’s one of those foundations that gives you that perfect natural-looking skin, made up but not made to look made-up type of thing. It’s dispensed via a pipette-type delivery system. The product does need to be given a good shake before use. It’s very liquid and doesn’t sit on the back of the hand, I pop it onto my foundation brush then apply it to my face. I have found that it does apply better with a brush rather than a sponge, but as always, it’s just personal preference. I do love how my skin looks after applying this foundation, so smooth and healthy-looking. I did think it would be a matte coverage, but it’s just so light your own skin comes through. It’s buildable to the coverage you do want for yourself. Yes, I’m definitely a big fan. It looks like this Airbrush Away foundation is out of stock at the moment, but you can find many other beauties HERE.

Thank you for stopping by today, I’ll come back soon with some more of the similar.

Take care, stay safe…

Boots Glow Range.

Hello, my lovelies, I hope you are all safe and well, welcome to Elegant Ageless Beauty, I’m Teresa.

I have been having a love affair with Boots own-brand products for quite a while now, including all things No7 too! I came across the Boots Glow range and of course, I just had to give it a go. I’ve got three products to share with you today.

I have the Boots Glow Cleansing Oil, Glow Brightening Mist, and the Gel Mask too. I especially love the pretty pink and white packaging with the branding in gold. Let me tell you my thoughts on the Cleansing Oil first.

At just £4.00 this is so lovely to use. Containing Olive fruit oil and Sunflower oil to help to cleanse the skin deep into the pores. It’s a pump-type delivery system and it does say to apply the cleansing oil to the skin with a cotton pad and sweep it over the face. I didn’t do that,  I added a couple of pumps of the oil to my hands and massage over my face, and then remove with a wet flannel or muslin cloth. I’ve been cleansing my face with all kinds of cleansers this way for years, and I won’t change now. I have loved how my skin feels after using this cleansing oil, so soft and clean and looks very glowing too. Some cheaper cleansing oils can leave a greasy film on the skin after removal, but this one didn’t do that, my face just feels clean afterward. I haven’t used it for makeup removal, I use it after I have taken off my makeup. I must say it does smell rather delicious too!

Next up is the beautifully cooling and hydrating Glow Brightening Mist. This contains Niacinamide which helps with the appearance of the skin and to help moisturise the skin too. I usually use it in my morning routine spritzed straight onto the skin after the cleansing oil. When I used it for the first time it was a bit of a shock to my system the spray was rather fierce, but do you know what I loved that! After I spray it onto my skin I press the product into my face, after it’s dried down I do have a lovely glowy face, ready for my day cream. I don’t have a moisturiser from this range right now, I shall be ordering one asap and I’ll get back to you.

Now lastly but not least-ly (lol) the Glow Gel Mask. Again containing Niacinamide, but also containing glycerin too, this gel mask is very moisturising and hydrating. So cooling when first applied too, really delicious. I applied it thickly to my skin after cleansing, sat in the bath for a half-hour or so, then removed it with a muslin cloth/flannel, it leaves my skin so soft, and hydrated and yes indeed very glowy too!

The Glow range of products at Boots is so inexpensive, between £4 and £5 is all that I’ve seen. I definitely want to add to my stash. If you would like to check out the range you can find it HERE.

Thank you so much for stopping by and reading today, stay safe. Sending lots of love.
