BEST DAY MOISTURISER
Gold – Joint
Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream (£63, tatcha.co.uk). This rich, moisturising cream with plumping hydration and antioxidant-packed Japanese purple rice gives skin a dewy, healthy glow. Ideal for use on dry skin, it can also be used for combination skins and for those who prefer a thicker moisturiser.
Natalie, 46: ‘This comes with a small gold applicator that fits on top of the lid, which is easy to replace so you don’t lose it, although I prefer to use my fingers! It’s a rich formula that cocoons my skin – it really feels like I have a barrier on against the elements!'
Gold – Joint
Olehenriksen Strength Trainer Peptide Boost Moisturiser (£40, boots.com). Like a personal trainer for your skin, this universal daily moisturiser is for all skin types. It’s clinically tested to strengthen the moisture barrier for skin that’s instantly more hydrated, bouncier, with visibly reduced fine lines and wrinkles.
Sarah, 42: ‘I really like this product. I wasn’t sure of the consistency to begin with as it feels more of a grease than a cream. However, it goes on nicely and is very hydrating, giving a nice, clean glow.'
Silver
Robyn Skincare Limitless Facial Cream, Anti-Ageing Formula + Sytenol ® A Bakuchiol (£132, robynskincare.com). This completely natural, super luxurious and intensely hydrating anti-ageing facial cream contains a multi-faceted formula that not only protects from premature ageing but also corrects lines, loss of elasticity and pigmentation with its active ingredient Sytenol® A Bakuchiol – which is known as nature’s alternative to retinol.
Charlotte, 49: 'This has a divine texture, scent, and the cutest packaging ever with a little clear quartz applicator. I was keen to try a cream with bakuchiol because I can’t tolerate retinol on my neck, where I need it most! This caused no irritation at all and it didn’t aggravate my perimenopausal acne despite the rich texture. I will definitely be repurchasing this when it runs out!'
