Five Quick Fixes

1. Clarins Beauty Flash Balm, £24

Whether it be a big night out or the morning after, this instant fix, which also happens to be one of Clarins all-time bestselling products, will revive any complexion and miraculously transforms skin from tired and jaded to smooth, fresh and positively glowing with one application. Containing algae extracts, which is known for its pick-me-up benefits, the cream helps firm and minimise fine lines and wrinkles in double-quick time.

2. Lancome,Platinéum £91

This loss of calcium is one reason why women lose support in their skin and start to get very enlarged pores with age. Platinéum Complete Restructuring Cream recharges the skin with calcium, rebuilding the tissues so that the skin is denser and stronger with renewed lift. It leaves the face, neck and décolleté looking fresh, luminous, toned and radiant too. Packed with lots of nourishing agents, this cream will leave your skin feeling really soft.

3. Guerlain Orchidée Impériale, £200

Highly concentrated, this cream contains extracts of the Orchidée Impériale flower for superior anti-ageing results. Lines and wrinkles are smoothed with regular use and the skin is left thoroughly nourished, re-hydrated, and protected against any harmful internal or external aggressions. Skin is also left looking visibly more radiant with greater firmness and tone, and with more defined facial contours.

4. Imedeen Expression Line Control Eye Care, £44.50

For immediate, visible results, Imedeen Line Control Eye Care helps to alleviate the usual signs of tiredness around the eyes. This lightweight, nourishing cream is fortified with caffeine, which helps detoxify the delicate tissues around the eyes, thereby reducing puffiness. Horse chestnut extract soothes the skin and light reflective particles deflect light away from fine lines and wrinkles, which gives the illusion of smoother skin and provides a great base for make-up.

5. Elizabeth Arden Prevage, £145

Previously only available through dermatologists, this clinically proven anti-ageing cream can now be yours without prescription. Used twice a day, Prevage shows a dramatic improvement in skin tone, helping to re-energise skin, resulting in a firmer, less lined, smoother look. Its active ingredient is the antioxidant idebenone, and it helps to even skin tone, increasing the skin’s firmness, reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles and brighten the look of skin.
