Beauty products the Over60 community swear by
Ask any woman about the one beauty product they’ve stayed loyal to over the years and you’re likely to hear a range of different responses, from cheap-and-cheerful lipsticks to expensive and luxurious skin creams. So, to narrow down what it is that over 60s look for in their beauty products, we went straight to the source. Here’s what you had to say.
1. QV night cream and face wash
“After years of trying almost every brand of face cream on the market, I now only use QV night cream (even for day) and QV face wash. It's inexpensive and my beautician noted how nice my skin was the last time I had a facial!” – Sue Packer.
2. Clarins
“I'm afraid to say that the only products I swear by are Clarins. Yes, I know they cost a fortune and I have champagne tastes and beer pockets, but I have used other products and they have either burnt my skin or stripped it. I have now been using Clarins for 25 years and just love the stuff. You do get value for money and it is pretty comparable to other brands.” – Kathryn Potter.
3. Johnson’s baby lotion
“Believe it or not, I use (and have used for years) Johnsons Baby lotion. It has no nasties in it, does not leave a greasy film on your skin and is very cheap compared to the other moisturisers!” – Doreen Buchanan.
4. Ponds
“Good old Ponds. Cleanser feels light but really cleans. Moisturiser feels lovely too. You can't beat the originals.” – Sharon Crowe.
5. Vitamin E cream and Revlon
“Vitamin E cream with evening primrose oil for my skin and Revlon matte finish lipstick. I also occasionally use Revlon eye shadow and Age Defying make-up now I'm older.” – Suzanne Dawson.
6. Algenist skincare and Tarte make-up
“I use Algenist cream and serum – it makes my skin soft – and Tarte for a soft glow on my cheeks.” – Ida Stenzler.
