I use Creme de La Mer mostly in winter, Ditty, because it is quite heavy (but lush) compared to La Prairie. LP's "Intelligent" moisturiser is much lighter & soaks in quicker

You should have seen his face when I took him to the make up counter at Libertys... I bought some powder or something... and the girl said.. do you want a brush to go with that... hubby said.. oh you might as well.

Brush was £90! He could hardly breathe as he paid for it... but didn't want to lose face and put it back.

I stood grinning like a cheshire cat!

most of it is down to genetics, diet and environment.. the rest we do is minor really..

because of the scar from surgery, I've been using bio oil.. and when I've finished massaging the scar with it, I kind of slick the excess over my face.. I can say that, while it isn't strictly a moisturiser, my skin loves the stuff.. it gives it a glow..

Really.... we have some bio oil in (for a scar on daughters leg... but she couldn't be bothered using it)

Would be scared about puttin oil on my face though...
