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

Your tips re the 50+ skin care tips was really useful especially about the exfoliating as I didn’t realise that about the layer of dead skin became thicker so now I can adapt that skin routine each week now instead of every two weeks.
The Highborn skin products are my secret pleasure in life I love the smell and I love especially the way it looks after my aging skin – as a lady who is approaching 60 yrs my skin looks and feels lovely – soft and well care.
Thank you Tracey for amazing service and beautiful products
Hi Tracey. Have you thought of doing a cleansing Balm. As I am 65 with drying skin, I use a balm all the time. It seems to leave my skin feeling more nourished, and a lot softer. In a month I have changed over to your range, I order the scrub and eye gel first and was so impressed Ive changed to the serum and moisturiser and night elixir as well. I also purchased a set for my sister, who like yourself suffered from breast cancer, lung cancer and lymphadima in her left arm. And she is thrilled with it. I will be trying your cleanser and toner, but at present am using up what I have. If you do consider making a balm I would like to volunteer to be your guinea pig. And your personal tester. Yours Christine Constable. 😄😄😄
Thanks for tips. I always use your cleanser/toner/ moisturiser/night cream/ eye cream and lip glosses but never used the scrub. So will definitely be giving that a try once a week. I’m 66 in couple weeks time and also a breast cancer survivor so I appreciate your products so much. Thank you x
Please can you do a moisturiser with a sunscreen as it would be great not to have to put another layer of cream on my face. Sure there are plenty of ladies that would go for this.

Received my order yesterday of the set of 4 items, but why does the moisturiser say For Men on the jar?
