The BEAUTYDIRECTORY team trial a range of products so they don’t have to age gracefully.
La Prairie Anti-Aging Longevity Serum
After two weeks of using this serum religiously morning and night, my skin is looking the healthiest it ever has. It feels more hydrated and springier than usual, and my skin tone has evened out. I have noticed a definite improvement in the lines on my upper lip (I always purse my lips when I'm concentrating!) - they are less defined and the area looks much smoother. In a nutshell, thanks to La Prairie Anti-Aging Longevity Serum, my skin is looking incredibly lively! - Janet
Alpha-H Liquid Gold
There's a reason this resurfacing treatment is Alpha-H's best-selling product and a cult hit. Like its name suggests, this product really is liquid gold. The glycolic-based formulation is super easy to apply - just pop it on a cotton pad and rub over your face, neck and décolletage, just like how you would apply a toner. While you can then layer your normal serums and moisturisers over the top, I prefer not to so it delivers a more intensive treatment (and we all know I love that!). After applying Liquid Gold at night, I wake up in the morning looking like a new woman. It may sound like I'm exaggerating, but this little gem truly does brighten my skin and make it look smoother and more even. - Yelena
Transformulas Marine Miracle Crème
No-one wants to look older than they are (and people who say they don’t care are lying!), so when it comes to anti-ageing, I want a product that works – and Transformulas Marine Miracle Crème does. This product has been described as “a facelift in a jar” (The Daily Mail) and “better than a knife” (Woman & Home), so understandably, I was dying to give it a go. And it delivered! It tightened and brightened my skin, and after a couple of days, the results intensified - my skin felt firmer and looked glowy. Plus, the cream smells beautifully fresh and clean, so it was a pleasure it put it on my face day and night. I’ll definitely continue to use Marine Miracle Crème! – Whitney
Indeed Labs Fillume Volumising Moisturiser
They say that it’s never too early to start an anti-ageing regime and now that I am about to hit 25, I am jumping on the preservation bandwagon. As an anti-ageing newbie, I think it’s best I ease into it - which is where Indeed Laboratories’ fillume volumising moisturiser comes in. I’m already a huge fan of the brand’s powder exfoliant, so I knew I was in trustworthy hands when I was given fillume to trial. Formulated for all skin types, fillume contains clinically proven ingredients to target the appearance of facial volume loss, helping to make skin appear fuller and smoother. After using the lightweight moisturiser for the past week, I’ve noticed my skin is softer and plumper, and my cheeks especially are giving Lara Bingle a run for her money! - Sarah
Dr. Lewinn's Private Formula Day Cream Moisturiser Light SPF 15
I have always been very conscious of the damage the sun can do to skin. Between hyperpigmentation, early onset fine lines and wrinkles, dehydration and dark spots, the sun isn’t our skin’s BFF by any means. So in my efforts to prevent these early signs of ageing, I’ve made it a non-negotiable to use a moisturiser containing SPF - and the latest release from Dr. Lewinn’s is a great one. The Private Formula Day Cream Moisturiser SPF 15 is a light, fluid cream, unlike a lot of moisturisers with SPF, which can be quite thick in consistency. Formulated with pepper berry, riberry, argan oil and vitamin A, it targets the visible signs of ageing and helps to fight free radical damage. If you want to protect your skin on a daily basis, this product is a winner! - Aja
Nutrimetics Ultra Care+ Platinum Hand Therapy
As we enter the cooler months, I’m excited to cover up with chic tailored blazers and oversized grandpa jumpers. I’ll then add plenty of simple gold rings to complement my dark-hued nails. Apart from my face, my mitts will be the only skin on show (compared to summer, where I flounce around like I’ve got a rig resembling Jessica Alba’s - trust me, I don’t), so I want it to be nice and smooth. I’ve recently started slathering on Nutrimetics Ultra Care+ Platinum Hand Therapy a few times a day to keep my hands healthy and smooth. I’m quite a fuss-pot when it comes to hand creams, but this bad boy has won me over with his delicious texture and fragrance (thanks to mulberry extract, cranberry seed oil, and mimosa, to name a few). A winter must-have! - Kelly
