Clarins Body Lift Cellulite Control Is in my top ten favourite beauty products for women over 50

Targets Early and Stubborn Cellulite Smooths Firms and refines and comes in a 400ml bottle

I have been using this product for about 20 years one of the few skincare products I tried and have continued to use. It goes along way if you don’t use it every day as recommended.

Since I bought this one the product has been updated and is now called Clarins Body Fit Active Skin Smoothing Expert 400ml it retails for £60 but you can find it at Tesco in the Uk and on other websites too correctly for about £45. I always buy it duty free for an extra saving.

Clarins recommends applying every day from ankles to waist to optimise results and suggests following Clarins self massage body con tiring method on the Clarins website.

I am not that diligent with it. I have a good go with it once a week and step it up to once a day for two weeks before I go on holiday.

If the dimples around your stomach, thighs and backs if the legs are really bad I think giving up fizzy drinks and sparkling wine will be more effective than the Clarins Lift Minceur Anti Capitons in French however I do think with continued use this product has helped the time of my skin as I have aged and certainly using it gives me more confidence around the swimming pool in my bathing suit.

It definitely has some active ingredients in it because you can feel the tingle when you apply it. It goes on very cold which does take a bit of getting used to when you begin using the product especially if you live in a cold climate but the sensation over time has become a little addictive and like I say if the legs and thighs are a problem area with stubborn cellulite that no amount of dieting can shift the Clarins Body Lift Cellulite control is definitely worth a try.

it’s got organic Matcha tea extract and caffeine in it which is promoted as the magic ingredients.

I’ve been reading a few ladies in the community sharing their 10 cannot live without beauty products and I thought I’d join the challenge by adding a few of my more obscure favourite things when it comes to my limited pared down beauty regime. As I have gotten older I have tended to buy try less and less sticking only to what I really like that works for me.

Julia has a gin Magnolia Bliss 7.5ml at 30 euros to try out or 50ml at 105 euros.

It’s divine fresh, fruity and floral. A timeless young fragrance that most importantly holds all day.

Chanel CC correction complete super active cream spf 50

A complete beauty cream with 5 superpowers: it unifies, moisturizes, corrects, protects and boosts skin's glow, day after day. The secret? A formula enriched with enzymes. £55

Oaskia London Liquid Mask

The liquid mask lactic acid micro peel will completely transform your skin. I absolutely love it and invest. I’ve found the 30ml bottle regularly £77 on sale for £56 at Cult Beauty.

The Oskia Liquid Mask Lactic Acid Micropeel is a truly standout product in my opinion it actually delivers on its promise of radiant, rejuvenated skin.
