Serums are a good complement to creams. They go on easily, you can put them on the whole face and neck including the eye area, they dry easily and don’t look greasy. You can use them under a day cream and they can be an important part of your anti-ageing routine, because they can deliver antioxidants, retinoids, peptides and vitamin C and its derivatives more efficiently than some creams.
The Naturopath (Susan Curtis)A serum is a concentrated formulation that usually contains antioxidants to redress oxidative stress caused by pollution and sun, peptides to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and humectants to help prevent water loss. This can be achieved with plant-based ingredients, such as the skin-firming essential oils frankincense and myrrh, herbal extracts like antioxidant-rich white tea or turmeric, and regenerating phyto-nutrients like rosehip-seed oil.

There’s hope for us all. If the gorgeous Kylie relies on nothing more sinister than Pond’s Cold Cream Cleanser to keep her complexion glowing, might some of its magic rub off on us? “It’s all I really use to look after my skin,” Ms Minogue has said. “It has made such a difference.” At £3.99 a pot, it’s an indulgence we can all afford. So what are the other hot beauty bargains? Superdrugs Vitamin E cream with SPF15 (£2.99/125ml) Brilliant facial moisturiser that’s easily absorbed, non-greasy, works on most skin types and has SPF15. Lacura Multi-Intensive Serum (£3.49/30ml, Aldi) Just moisturisers and basic anti-oxidants but women rated it above 2,000 other products in a major testing. To read more click here: Evening standards.
It is so nice when a celebrity is really truthful and open about what products they use and were they get it from don’t you think?.I know that some of them buy products from the same store as us? but it is great to see a list of stuff written out like this hey!!!.I use one item out of Kylie’s favourite Creams and that is the Dove Pro-age beauty body lotion,it is truly amazing it really moisturises your skin its thick and creamy, I adore the smell .I get mine from Wilkinson’s as little as 2.99 .Any way tell me what you think do you use any of Kylie’s creams.If so which ones is it good or bad what are your thoughts.Chow !!!! leave a comment.

The coalition government’s plans for the coming five years could make good reading for natural beauty enthusiasts. Among the discussions of public deficit and pension entitlements, the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats have also set out an aim to ban animal testing entirely.”We will end the testing of household products on animals and work to reduce the use of animals in scientific research,” the document reads.
The commitment to promoting natural beauty production techniques is just one of the aims set out in the 36-page document, The Coalition: our programme for government.In the foreword to the policy document, which has been thrashed out in the weeks since the general election on May 6th, prime minister David Cameron and his deputy Nick Clegg speak of the “historic” nature of the latest parliamentary session.They note that their document is the first collaboration of its kind between two major political parties for more than 50 years.
News that I thought may be of interest to you hope you found it interesting.Don’t worry I am not getting political .Just thought it would be good news to read.

Are you a beauty cream addict .Do you have all differnt types of creams in your bag, cupboard and on your dressing table ? but not sure which one to use .????
BEFORE buying that new “dream cream”, do you wonder if you already own a similar one? New research shows British women have more than 50million skin products they will never use. More than half of women polled – 55 per cent – admitted having one such product. And a study for The Body Shop’s Nutriganics range has shown the average woman spends almost £6,000 on beauty products in her lifetime. Experts say the waste is because women do not know what their skin needs.Gemma Matthews, 32/£50 a month habit … Gemma Matthews PA and events organiser Gemma lives in Reading, Berks, with husband Jonathan, 30, a credit manager. She says: I have drawers full of half-used or new products. I buy things on two-for-one deals and consign one to the drawer and forget about it. I usually spend about £50 a month but I’ve spent up to £120 in one go. Sometimes I feel guilty about what I buy. I also worry about wrinkles – I’ve had lots of sunny holidays. And I’ve got broken veins around my nose so I use creams to relieve the redness.
DR PATRICK SAYS: With Gemma’s skin type, sun protection is very important. In the morning she needs a moisturiser with a sunscreen. In the evening she should try vitamin A or vitamin C to slow skin ageing. A healthy diet and water will help, too. A night cream with vitamin A or vitamin E and rotating brands every three months would be a good idea. TRY: Superdrug Vitamin E Illuminating Moisture Cream (£2.99) and Body Shop Vitamin C Intensive Night Treatment (£12.50).

TREATMENT OF THE SEASON
“As far as I’m concerned (Says Becky ) the new Elmis Modern Skin Facial takes some beating. It’s been designed to deal with today’s `modern’ skin problems which include high levels of stress, lack of quality sleep, lack of water, on-the-go-fast food, long hours on a computer and dehydrating heating and aircon.These problems cause unpredictable fluctions in skin conditions, dryness, oily skin that overproduces sebum to try and stimulate moisture, high colour, expression lines that won’t go away and a lack lustre, shallow appearance. The facial layers powerful anti-oxidants, vitamins and multi-minerals to rebalance the skin’s micro-flora and pH level, whist encouraging cell regeneration. The results reveal a clearer, radiant and more balanced skin.”
The facial, for men and women, lasts one hour and costs £46. Until the end of June you can try it with a half-hour neck, back and shoulder massage – so it lasts one-and-a-half hours – for £51.Chance to try it out for free One lucky Courier reader is going to get the opportunity to try out the facial for free and then write about the treatment for the paper.We want to hear why you you need it. Send your letters to Diane Crabtree, Halifax Courier, King Cross, Street, Halifax, HX1 2SF. Please include a daytime telephone number. The closing date is Monday, May 24. Usual Courier rules apply.

FACIAL EXFOLIATION
“It’s also important to exfoliate the skin on your face,” says Becky. “Skin naturally renews itself every 28 days, however as we age our skin cells become damaged by free radical attack so this process will not work efficiently, leaving a build up of dead skin cells that can make skin look dull and lifeless. Exfoliating can help this. It’s also important not to over exfoliate your skin as you don’t want to take away healthy skin cells.”

Most of us apply our lotions and potions without giving much thought to how they work. But do we really need everything we use? Here’s how some of the products we use everyday work, plus some of the cleverest multi-tasking buys to help save you time and money.
Moisturisers:
Moisturisers are Designed to help improve hydration in the surface layers of the skin, many contain hyaluronic acid, which is found naturally in the skin and helps it retain moisture. As well as attracting water to the skin, this ingredient helps lock it in, preventing skin from dehydrating.
‘There are many different types of moisturiser, offering different levels of hydration and other benefits, such as UV protection,’ explains Chris Flower of the Cosmetic Toiletry & Perfumery Association (CTPA).Or as recommeded by global beauty try Pharmagel Moisturisers DN-24 Hydracreme.
Cleansers:
We all know that oil and water don’t mix, but that happens to be the reason why washing your face with water alone won’t give you a thorough cleanse. A lot of dirt on the skin is oil-based, so you need ingredients that will dissolve these oils. Those ingredients are known as surfactants. ‘There’s a broad range of these available, as they are used in many different types of products,’ explains Chris. ‘In facial cleansing products, the surfactants used are mild and gentle on the skin.’Or as recommeded by global beauty try Pharmgel Hydra Cleanse
Toners:
Toners can be used after cleansing to ensure all traces of cleanser are swept away. Their astringent – or tightening – ingredients also leave skin firmer, and minimise pores. Some also come with extra skincare benefits such as blemish-busting.Or as recommeded by global beauty try Botanical Tonique.
Instant wrinkle fillers:
Most contain hyaluronic acid, which gives a temporary plumping effect. Many also have ingredients such as silicone that sit in wrinkles, smoothing and softening them. ‘Wrinkle plumpers and fillers usually also contain anti-ageing ingredients that stimulate collagen production, resulting in the skin’s surface becoming more even over time,’ says Nathalie Issachar, head of RoC R&D.
Smart buy: Roc Retin-Ox Wrinkle Filler, £13.99 for 30ml
With anti-wrinkle retinol and hyaluronic acid, it provides instant plumping plus long-term line smoothing. Use it day and/or night as your regular moisturiser for best results.

Have a amazing Chow!!!!
