Want luxuriously firm, smooth skin? Of course you do!
The product
Let's be real, keeping our skin looking and feeling like it did in our twenties will always be the goal. We know it might be a lofty goal with some naysayers in the group, but we're here to highlight the steps (and more importantly ingredients) that can work to support our skin as we age.
But before we do that, we're making our stance known, we're not 'anti-ageing', we're simply pro doing all we can to make sure our skin looks as flawless as possible for years to come.
Okay, now onto the good part, breaking down the ingredients that are set to support your skin.
Obviously, as we all know, collagen is a huge player in skin-plumping and firmness. So, to avoid your skin looking crepey, adding topical and oral collagen products (and perhaps ingredients such as carnosine) into your routine will help support your natural collagen production. Another ingredient on our list? Peptides. Known for their hydrating properties, these tiny molecules act as the building blocks to your skin's structure, working to smooth the visible signs of fine lines. And then there's another ingredient you ought to know about: idebenone.
The medical-grade ingredient has been shown to help fight off free radical damage in your skin, while also working to protect your skin from oxidative stress. See, we told you, it's a biggie.
But where can you find these three show-stopping, skin-revujenating ingredients all rolled into one? Let us introduce Elizabeth Arden's PREVAGE range; specifically the Soft Cream and the 3-in-1 Reset Serum. This dynamic duo has been designed to support, protect and boost your skin health, while also visibly addressing the signs of ageing.
The panel
BEAUTYcrew will be sending the Elizabeth Arden PREVAGE® Multi-Restorative Soft Cream and the Elizabeth Arden PREVAGE® 3-in-1 Reset Serum to a panel of women aged 45 who regularly use high end cosmeceutical brands.
The lowdown
The skin-firming results: We're aware that collagen is one of the most important factors for keeping our skin supple, smooth and most importantly firm. So, we'll happily add any extra products to our routine that help us work toward supporting our natural collagen production. Both the Soft Cream and the Rest Serum work to visibly redensify and lift your skin, forming a healthier, smoother skin matrix.
The luxurious feel of the products: There's no denying that using a luxury product just makes you feel 10 times better about yourself. Call us vain, but splashing the extra cash is definitely worth it in our books. Especially with the Prevage range, where the products easily stack up against some of the top-tier cosmeceutical products out there.
How lightweight and nourishing they feel: As we age, our skin gets drier. It's an unfortunate fact that we're slowly coming to terms with. But acceptance doesn't have to equal staying dry. Nope, because this rich, skin-strengthening duo has been formulated with intensely hydrating ingredients (like shea butter), that promise to deliver a moisture boost without the heavy greasy feeling.
