I’m 62 so my skin needs a bit of help – it feels like velvet thanks to an Amazon buy that’s now less than half price
BOTOX and expensive filler injections that can go awfully wrong – the first two words to spring to mind when it comes to banishing wrinkles.
But according to one woman, who is 62, you can make your skin super soft and smooth like ”velvet” without a single needle in sight – and the bargain buy is currently on sale too.
Heather Mcculloch, from the UK, was raving about Olay Regenerist Retinol24 Night Face Cream Moisturiser, which she’s described as ”amazing”.
The retinol-infused and fragrance-free skincare essential instantly hydrates the skin, with results lasting up to a whopping 24 hours.
According to the description on Amazon, the Olay Night Cream penetrates up to ten layers deep into skin surface and it’s been designed without an artificial dyes, perfumes and oils that could irritate the skin.
A form of Vitamin A, retinol is an ingredient added to a great range of skin creams, lotions and serums in the market.
It has anti-ageing effects and can even help clear acne, whilst stronger concentrations of retinoids are available by prescription.
The cream is gleaming in more than 8k reviews on the retailer’s website, with delighted customers rating it with 4.5 stars.
Raving about the skincare buy, Heather wrote: ”I’m 62 and have started using this as my skin was needing a little help.
”My skin feels like velvet after I put it on,” she said, adding it was ”dry” before.
”I’ve been buying this for friends as Xmas presents as I would recommend it to all my age group.”
The happy beauty lover also uploaded a snap of herself – and there was not a wrinkle in sight, with Heather’s skin looking soft like butter.
Need more convincing? The Olay Night Cream is currently on offer too, as the price has been slashed by more than 50 per cent.
Amazon customers can bag the cream – priced £38 elsewhere – for £14.95 with the sale, however, it’s best to not sleep on the bargain, as this is a limited time only offer.
And it’s not just Heather going totally wild over the find – hundreds of other Amazon fans have had nothing but positive things to say about the cream too.
One wrote: ”Great light texture which doesn’t upset my sensitive skin.
”Leaves it feeling soft and absorbs in fast. I sometimes feel I need to reapply to my forehead as that’s quite dry at times. Will repurchase.”
Another chimed in: ”I love this cream as I have some wrinkles and after using for a few days I noticed they were not so visible and my skin looked plumped up and hydrated too. So glad I tried it.”
”A great product. Easy to apply and does a great job for my aging skin!” a third penned.
Healthy habits to prevent skin ageing
Although a lot of this has to do with your genetics and how much care you take of your skin, there are also a few healthy habits that can make a huge difference.
Use sunscreen to avoid sun damage every day, no matter whether it’s sunny or cloudy.
Avoid sunbeds, which have also been linked to skin cancer and premature ageing.
Avoid smoking, vaping and excessive drinking.
Stick to healthy and nourishing foods, such as green leafy veggies and fruit.
Make sure you get a good amount of sleep – roughly eight hours a night.
