In a world of my own....
Hi

I am a spray tanning geek but I love reading all the skincare geeks comments and recommendations - many of which I take on board (thank you Calla - Blinc mascara is fantastic!!)...

Ok, I had a (free) Creme de la Mer mini facial yesterday (I am currently looking for a good anti aging moisturiser) and it was fab - my skin just felt great:). The therapist put some body lotion on my arm (as a sample) and I was smelling it all day - simply devine but oh the prices - just way out of my league:cry:....

Is Creme de la Mer totally overrated and does anyone recommend a very good moisturiser for a forty something gal?

Thanks:hug:

Creme de le mer is owned by estee lauder now. I have always thought it was overrated and over priced although years ago each jar was handmade and now its factory made.

The rule of estee lauders company has always been that the same but often weakend down versions of the products go into cheaper skin care lines (think its loreal but having a blank moment!).

Basically Creme De Le Mer is watered down and put into estee lauder then watered down again for a cheaper brand. Not sure the complete way in which it is done but I did some Estee Lauder training and we were told by the trainer this is how it worked.

Believe M&S make up is Estee Lauder too.

Sure you can find better skincare creams for far less than they cost. Theres p8n8, Danne Montague King, Karin Herzog, MD Formulations, Jan Marini etc that are excellent for helping skin past the age of 25 slow down the aging process and help to strengthen and rebuild skin elasticity and collagen etc.

Can you try and pop in to your local salons as its easier to prescribe the correct products when someone sees your skin. Trying to recommend a good skin cream is like trying to recommend the right shade of foundation.

And who needs an excuse for more facials lol x
