As we age cellular renewal slows down. That’s a fancy way of saying that we all are getting older and more wrinkled. I can remember a friend warning me that everything starts going downhill after you turn 25. I really thought she was just being melodramatic, but alas, she was not. Ai Mar, ek moes maar geluister het. A decade later I wish I could afford botox, but bread on the table seems to be winning, so I reach for lotions and potions to help slow the process. I am not fanatical about it, but I would be lying if I said that my crows-feet and no 11 don’t bother me.
L’Oréal has just released a new skincare range aimed at the 50+ market. Don’t stop reading just yet youngsters. I will be using every last drop of these… read on to see why.
L’Oréal claims ‘Skin regains its new cellular vitality. It’s regenerated, replumped, toned and radiant. Full of life, skin is gorgeous.’
‘Mother cells, the incredible youth source for your skin, don’t fully express their regenerative power. Fewer new cells are created. The skin loses its vitality from deep within. This is visible in a lack of tonicity and radiance.’
There’s a reason I dropped science after Standard 6 so I’m not going to try to make sense of the different oxygen species, cytoplasm or cell nuclei. All you need to know is that this range contains Natecium which is a very powerful antioxidant which protects Mother Cells from free radicals.
This range aims to regenerate, replump and rejuvenate the skin.
Age Perfect Cell Renew Day and Night Creams
When I noticed that this range is aimed at ladies who are 50 yrs and older, I imagined heavy, rich creams that sit on the skin. My combination to oily skin would not like that, especially in this heat. I was pleasantly surprised that the day and night creams were much lighter than I thought it would be. They melt into my skin and my skin really feels pampered after application. I just want to keep stroking my lovely smooth cheeks :) Both creams do a great job at hydrating my skin and my skin feels soft and nourished. I haven’t been using it for long enough to make judgement on the anti-ageing effects of these products, but I can definitely see myself purchasing these for myself.
Age Perfect Cell Renew Golden Serum
This serum is super light and absorbs instantly. It leaves your skin feeling silky and gold Micro-Reflectors counter dullness. This is very subtle, so no worries of looking like a glitter ball.
Age Perfect Extraordinary Oil
 |
| Restores Youthful Glow. Formulated with 8 Essential Oils. Luxuriously Lightweight & Non-Greasy. |
Love, love, love. This oil smells lovely, sinks into my skin, it feels light, but super moisturising and nourishing at the same time. It contains 8 Essential Oils to treat your skin and the aromatherapy oils makes it an absolute pleasure to use. This facial oil is fabulous and a product that I would buy for myself without a second thought.
If you are looking for anti-ageing products, I would recommend you go and get samples of this range. It really is lovely and not too badly priced at ZAR225 each. And remember, Mother’s Day is around the corner!

It should be available at all L’Oréal counters. I suggest Edgars first :)
