 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.

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.

No7 Radiant Results Revitalising Micellar Cleansing Water.

Welcome to Elegant Ageless Beauty, I’m Teresa.

I’ve been shopping a bit on the  Boots website just lately, and a few weeks ago I treated myself to the Boots No7 Beauty Vault, you can read all about it HERE. One of the products that I was very taken with is the No7 Radiant Results Revitalising Micellar Cleansing Water. I’m loving skincare products that are going to help my skin look more radiant and glowing, it does make for younger-looking skin, and as I’ve aged and got to  60 years old my skin had a tendency to look dull and grey, which made me look older, I feel anyway.

This is a huge 200ml bottle with a very handy pump-action application delivery system. 2 or 3 pumps are enough for a quick cleanse in the morning or to freshen up during the day. It has Red Ginseng and No7’s own Tri-vit complex in the ingredients that make it perfect for makeup removal too. I applied a couple of pumps of the micellar water onto a cotton pad and held it over each eye for a minute or so to dissolve my mascara, it took a couple of swipes before it was completely removed, it didn’t sting my eyes, and my lashes felt soft. It also did a great job at removing my face makeup, again without my skin stinging and without my face being left dry and tight. Afterward, my skin looks clean and bright and glowing, just what I want! (I then go in for a second cleanse, with a lotion, balm or oil cleanser) This micellar water is suitable for eyes, face, and lips and is totally unperfumed making it great if you have sensitive skin. 

You can check out this and lots of other wonderful products from No7 HERE.

Thank you for stopping by and reading today.
