50+ Skincare Tips
Recently, I've seen a lot of comments on Facebook asking how to take care of your skin in your 50s or 60s.
So ... here are my top tips:
Moisturiser. And a rich one at that. As we get older, our skin tends to get drier. It's absolutely necessary to moisturise in the morning (Imperial Moisturiser) and before you go to bed (Night Elixir).
Cleanse. But do this carefully. It's still important to keep your skin clean, but make sure you opt for less drying cleansers, and go for something nice and gentle such as Crystal Cleanser.
Exfoliate. As you get older, you have to exfoliate even more, because the layer of dead skin becomes even thicker. I recommend exfoliating at least once a week (Natural Luminosity Scrub is the perfect choice).
Sunscreen. Skin is more easily damaged as we age - and certainly by the sun. So be sure to either use a good dedicated sunscreen because much latest advice is that even moisturisers with sunscreen often give a false sense of security. Why? Because their primary job is as a moisturiser rather than sun screen ...
Of course, there are plenty of other treatments and tricks out there, but it all comes down to your personal needs.
And we are all so beautifully different. So be sure to 'listen' to your skin and adapt as you see fit.
Have an amazing day, Tracey xx

I’m just over 50 and have started to use your products and I have to say my slik is feeling much more hydrated and looking healthier, I am delighted.
The Luminosity Scrub is the first thing I per chased from highborn, and I absolutely love it. I’m 65 years old and was looking for a new exploratory. And this fits the bill perfectly. It’s a lovely smell, and the particles in it are small and it can be abrasive as you want it to be. Would highly recommend. Enjoy the experience of using it.
I HAVE UNUSUAL SKIN FOR MY AGE (66). NO WRINKLES BUT EXCESSIVE OIL, CAUSING ACNE AND SEBACEOUS HYPERPLASIA (AND ON MY SCALP TOO),TOGETHER WITH SUN DAMAGE ON MY NECK AND CHEST. ANY RICH NOURISHING CREAMS EXACERBATES SEBUM PRODUCTION, BUT I STILL NEED TO MOISTURISE AND USE EYE GEL-CREAM. I HAVE HAD LASER SURGERY TO REMOVE THE SEBACEOUS HYPERPLASIA, AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO, AS THE BUMPS RETURN. I USE AN OIL-FREE LIGHT FOUNDATION AND POWDER DAILY AS MY NATURAL COMPLEXION IS BLOTCHY. I ALSO APPLY AN OIL-FREE SPF50 BY CLINIQUE ONLY IN THE SUN – TOO GREASY FOR EVERYDAY USE. EVERYTHING I READ ABOUT MATURE SKIN IS ALWAYS ABOUT NOURISHING AND KEEPING WRINKLES AT BAY. DO YOU HAVE ANY SUITABLE PRODUCTS PLEASE?
