Rolling Back The Years

Extreme weather conditions, hormones, diet and natural ageing all take their toll on our skin. Uneven pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles are the first signs of ageing, its time to take control…

Wednesday 20th March saw the launch of No7’s highly anticipated Lift & Luminate Dark Spot Corrector. This is No.7’s first ever clinically proven dark spot corrector which fades age spots after 3 months. 86% of women which tested the beauty must-have had a noticeable colour reduction. This is to be used underneath your serum and fits perfectly into any skincare regime.

This beauty must have effectively makes dark spots appear less noticeable by helping to reduce the over production of pigment, causing them to lighten and shrink. Containing the same Firming Complex that is in Protect & Perfect range and Protect & Perfect Intense, this works to boost collagen and elastin in the skin smoothing out lines and leaving the skin feeling firmer. It also contains a Poly Hydroxy acid to help gently exfoliate surface pigmentation and unveil a beautiful, more even skin tone.

As all of No.7s award winning products this dark spot corrector is also Hypo-allergenic: “Because all skin can have sensitive moments all our products are hypo-allergenic so they are kind to even the most sensitive skin”.

Your probably thinking, whats an age spot? Do I have them? 

Age spots can appear on anybody skin and can occur from the age of 25. People who are in the sun more and wear little sun care protection are most likely to suffer from age spots. This is the skins way of letting you know, it needs protection as the UV and UVB is damaging the skin cells and the reproduction of collagen. This product has received a lot of attention from the media and many reviews, the specific age range for this product is 40 years old and over. However if you believe your suffering from dark spots from a young age your recommended to use this dark spot correcting treatment. With many dark spot treatments on the market with richer ingredients I believe No.7 could of improved the formula however at an average retail price of £19.50 this is a bargain on a budget.

 After looking through No.7s products, the Lift and Luminate Dark Spot Corrector is their most effective targeted treatment, powered by the highest levels of lightning technology from No.7s clinically proven No7 Lift & Luminate Day & Night Serum.

Quick Tip: Smooth a pea sized amount gently over the skin surface underneath your facial serum or using the roller ball action on the packaging roll over and massage onto the area of dark spots.

Under your skin.

Ive always had an interest in maintaining clear, fresh, bronzed skin but recently gaining a part time job within one of Britain’s leading skincare and cosmetic companies, Ive found an unknown hidden passion. 

Appearance is a key factor to success in today’s shallow and shameful society, however I hold my hands up and plead guilty as I too have fallen for the gimmicks and self indulgent commerciality of appearance. The pressure on the youth of today to be “perfect” is an incredibly tough and high standard to maintain and aspire to. The number one to blame is instantly celebrities in glossy magazine and advertisements constantly promoting and modelling the latest cosmetic must buy or the newest flawless fashion piece, however was this always going to happen in todays indulgent society?

Recently gaining a part time job at No.7 exclusive to Boots, I have seen first hand and witnessed men crumbling into the pressure of advertisements but also peer pressure jokes, which have left a mark skin deep. Unfortunately Men take a back seat when it comes to appearance and are believed to care less. However with society changing every second and every day men are becoming increasingly worried and about their appearance. However I just become more enticed by the ever growing products hitting the shelves and the latest trends within skincare and cosmetics.

Skincare and cosmetics have become and unlikely passion of mine. If someone told me two years ago I would enjoy applying make up and creating master pieces faces from nothing to something, I would have laughed. skincare and cosmetics are not just products but an art. An art to achieving high standards just like any other discipline.
