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.

{AD-Gifted} Lumity Skin Nutrients Facial Oil and Beauty Supplements..

Hello beauty lovers, welcome to Elegant Ageless Beauty.

I have been using this facial oil for a few weeks now and my word my skin is looking and feeling quite amazing! It’s also rather a joy to use too. The Skin Nutrients Facial Oil is from the wellness brand Lumity. The Skin Nutrients Facial Oil is 100% natural with 32 ingredients each one providing the best source of nutrients helping to give the skin the nourishment it needs. The full list of ingredients is listed below. 100% Vegan. No animal testing.

Passion Flower Seed Oil, Baobab Seed Oil, Marula Oil, Safflower Seed Oil, Camellia Seed Oil, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Argan Kernel Oil, Kukui Seed Oil, Jojoba Seed Oil, Sesame Seed Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, Macadamia Seed Oil, Buriti Fruit Oil, Green Coffee Seed Oil, Green Tea Leaf Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Rosemary Leaf Extract, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract, Echinacea Extract, Cranberry Extract, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Blueberry Fruit Extract, Goji Berry Extract, Ho Wood, Vetivert, Elemi, May Chang, Yuzu, Sandalwood, Pink Pepper Seed, Manuka

In a pretty glass bottle with a dropper dispensary system like most facial oils. But this facial oil needs to be inhaled during application to gain the wellness properties of all the wonderful natural ingredients within. The fragrance for me is light and quite divine and delicious. I used half a dropper of the oil during my morning and nighttime routines massaging in thoroughly to set the oil to work on my face and neck. I also press the oil into my skin as I go along. Skin Nutrients facial oil sinks right in and after a few minutes my skin feels nourished and hydrated soft and smooth with no stickiness whatsoever. At night time I pop my night cream on top, the following morning my skin looks supple and plumped without any greyness at all. I love how my skin looks in the morning after using this delicious oil. It looks like I have had a great night’s sleep even when I haven’t. Now, using the Lumity Skin Nutrients Facial Oil during the day under makeup? It really is gorgeous, but I found it works better with a matte foundation on me. Using it with a silk foundation I found it made me look a bit too “shiny” for my liking. I did expect my foundation to slide off during the day but it didn’t even with my day cream included too. This beautiful little bottle of golden goodness is perfect, I have hydrated radiant smoother-looking skin, the small wrinkles that are over my top lip from being a smoker (I’m a former smoker) appear diminished which I’m so happy about! And just the radiance of my skin with it looking so much less grey and dreary. I really am enjoying the Lumity Skin Nutrients Facial Oil. If you would like to see more you can have a look HERE.

I have also been testing out a 7-day Natural anti-aging supplement. They are to help with hair and nails, joints, muscle, and teeth, my brain health and support the immune system too. There is a morning supplement and one for the night time too. I have to be perfectly honest here and declare that it’s impossible for me to give a full review of the supplements that I’ve been taking as it has been only just a week. I haven’t noticed any difference in myself during the week. 

The 7 day supply of morning time supplements come in an easy to open the sachet, which is recyclable. I simply take 3 of the easy to swallow soft gels on waking with a glass of water. The ingredients, listed below. The supplements are not suitable for vegans as the coating contains bovine gelatin. This is what Lumity explained to me regarding the gelatin coating.

“At present, our soft gels do contain a minuscule amount (0.03 g) bovine gelatine, as the current vegan alternatives are not robust enough to contain our formula without rendering the capsules too fragile.  We are committed to getting this right and will let everyone know as soon as it is available” 

Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Vitamin E, Iodine, Magnesium, Selenium, Zinc, Flaxseed oil, Acetyl-L-carnitine, Alanine, Coenzyme Q10, Lysine, L-Glutamine; L-Arginine; L-Cysteine, Turmeric root extract min 93% curcumin, Capsule coating contains bovine gelatin.

I took 3 of the white soft gels at bedtime with my last glass of water of the day. I have had problems in the past with taking supplements, on the old digestive system. I found they did make me constipated for a few days, but with the Lumity soft gels, I didn’t have a problem at all. The morning and night time supplements are clinically proven to give visible results which include healthy hair and nails and help you to feel better physically and mentally and generally less tired. They are something that I will be looking into purchasing on a regular basis. You can find the 7-day system HERE.

Right now if you purchase anything from the brand new Lumity website you will receive a FREE 4 in 1 cleanser. 

Thank you for stopping by today.

Firming Neck and Decollete Cream by skinSense…[competition prize]

Hello beauty lovers, welcome to Elegant Ageless Beauty.

A few months ago I won a “giveaway” over on Instagram that was run by skinSense. I was so chuffed to win a fabulous Firming Neck and Decollete cream, and my daughter won one too!

I have wanted to try skinSense products for ages, but have never been able too (money) so to win one in a competition, well I was a very happy bunny.

I don’t have a wrinkly neck really, although it has been drooping a bit due to ageing and up and down weight loss etc. I do have some discolouration on my chest area which is slightly red looking and feels a bit bumpy. I have always moisturised my neck with my skincare, but my chest area I always leave it to whatever body lotion I use after bathing.

The skinSense Firming Neck & Décolleté Cream is formulated to help to restore the moisture and firmness that’s lost due to ageing. Containing Allantoin, Zinc and Soya Oil to help to soften and also to help to restore collagen and elastin in the skin. I’ve been using the cream for a few months now, and I can honestly say I really love it! The centre of my neck was quite droopy, “turkey neck” as it’s often called. Now it’s not so noticeable, it appears to me to be quite a bit tighter and smoother. I’ve been using the cream from my neck to right over my upper chest area, Decollete where I have the discolouration and bumpy skin, and it appears to be so much more smooth and less red looking. I do it day and night within my skincare routine. It smells beautiful and applies like a dream, my skin just drinks it up! It doesn’t feel sticky or tacky once applied either, it’s a really lovely product. Somehow I knew it would be though.

If you would like to see this and other products from skinSense you can find them HERE.

[ AD-Gifted] Juliette Armand Skin Care Gift Set…Chronos Anti-Age 2

Hello my lovelies, welcome to Elegant Ageless Beauty, I’m Teresa.

Back in 2017 I reviewed some glorious products from Juliette Armand, the “Skin Boosters” range of products. I’m back with a skin care set, again from the skin boosters range but these are now re-formulated and has lovely new packaging.

The set of three products consists of Chronos Hydra Correct Serum, Chronos Hydra Correct Cream and Opsis Eye Cream. All in juicy looking Orange packaging.

In a handy pump dispenser bottle you can get just the amount you need of this serum. The previous packaging for this serum was the twist up and pump delivery type. It’s also now called Chronos Hydra Correct Serum. Chronos is a therapy that prevents, and also repairs damage to the skin over time. It’s incredibly moisturising, and the first step in skincare after cleansing and toning. It contains Matrixyl, a peptide that stimulate collagen and helps to repair the skin. It also has vitamins A and E which helps to plump and hydrate. I use just one pump of the serum which I press gently into my face and I have also used maybe just a half a pump worth to take down my neck. Some serum I have found to be on the sticky side, but this one is perfect and sinks it beautifully, ready for my moisturiser. It’s suitable for Combination, Dry and Normal skin types and is particularly good for de-hydrated skin like mine, fabulous for ages 40 through to 60 plus years.

Chronos Hydra Correct Cream. Well it’s just gorgeous! When I reviewed the range before, this was in the usual screw top pot that you have to enter to get to the product, whether you use fingers or spatula it would allow bacteria to get into your face cream. Happily, Juliette Armand has changed this and the gorgeousness inside is now in a bright orange pot that you twist and pump! Containing Soya, Vitamin E and Jojoba Oil it’s a lovely daily facial moisturiser that hydrates, plumps and brightens the skin, boosting the production of collagen and helping to reduce wrinkles. I have found that this seems so much better than the original cream, it feels richer to me. I use 2 pumps of the product for my face and neck, and it sinks in like a dream. As soon as I’ve used the Hydra Correct Cream my skin feels soft and smooth and hydrated, ready for my makeup. It certainly makes my skin glow, and as I have been suffering from very dry lips recently I took the cream over them when massaging into my face and it’s really helped them immensely. A fabulously hydrating face cream that is suitable for the 40 through to 60 plus age range, and especially helpful for skin that is Normal, Combination and Dry type.

This, the Opsis Eye Cream is an anti ageing and lifting eye cream in a syringe type applicator. Don’t worry there’s no needles here! It’s just the delivery system. There is the Matrixyl 3000 peptide within, to stimulate the production of Collagen and Vitamin E to help with hydration. It helps with the brightening of the under eye area and dark circles too. This eye cream can be used around the whole contour of the eyes. You can if you wish use the tip of the syringe to apply the cream, but I personally prefer to use my ring finger to pat it upwards over my eye area, right up to the brows. Using the upwards motion helps with the lifting property, I have also applied some of the eye cream over my eyelids too, and it didn’t cause me any puffiness. Patted into my “number 11’s as well has lessened the appearance of them. Looking into the mirror, I can see that my eyes appear to be slightly wider, more open and I believe there is less of a “hood” from my eyelids too. Magnificent! If I use concealer under my eyes it goes on really well and it doesn’t crack or crease either. The Opsis Eye Cream is suitable for ages 30 through to 60 plus years.  When I used this eye cream before, it became my favourite the best I’ve ever used. Now, I can say that THIS is the best eye cream I have ever used.

For all Juliette Armand skincare, go HERE.

B. Skincare Contouring Cream…

Welcome to Elegant Ageless Beauty, I’m Teresa.

I’ve another B. Skincare beauty today. It’s the Contouring Cream which you can get from Superdrug. I’ll leave links at the end of this post.

Another product by B. Skincare that I’m loving, so much so that I have another bottle in my shopping basket waiting for me to checkout! With the great pump delivery system, I use two pumps worth on my skin after cleansing and toning, and before moisturising. While I’ve been trialling the serum I used it night and morning under day cream and night cream. I press it into my face in an upward outward motion. I can feel an instant tightening which feels lovely. The serum contains an ingredient that is clinically proven to boost the skins natural production of collagen and also elastin, and I think it’s working for me. It has softened out the lines between my eyebrows, also known as “number 11’s” and the horizontal line I have on my forehead is diminished too. My cheek and chin areas appear smoother, and pores are lessened as well. Lovely, lovely, lovely indeed. You will find the B. Skincare Contouring Cream in Superdrug on the High Street and also HERE.

Thank you for reading today.
