FEEL GOOD FRIDAY! TAKING CARE OF YOUR SKIN.

TGIF Guys!

Are you looking after yourself? Being a Good Momma Bear to YOU? I hope so!  With that in mind, I’ve been updating my beauty routine, trying new products, etc. I was getting a little curious to see what I may be missing out on. And I was!!

Today, I want to share with you three of my very FAVOURITE new products. They are unbelievable! I never go without make-up but with these new products, my skin is looking good enough to go bare naked! I can’t say the same about my bodeee!! I’m no J-Lo! But, hey, as you get older, it’s the face people notice first, and how good your skin is looking. The cheeks that meet the eye. Right? These new products are MAGIC!! And at my age, I’ll take magic whenever and wherever I find it!

There is something glamorous about a product that is produced in France. When it comes to fashion, beauty, food and perfume — Vive La France! They are the aestheticians supreme! (the men aren’t bad either!) At one point, I lived in Paris. The only thing I couldn’t endure was escargot!! Yuck!! And the Monsieurs with the very garlicky breath! Oh yes, the raw bloody meat too… Apart from that everything else was tickety boo! It was in Paris I had my first experience of using gel nails. I remember it well!

The best of French products for me are Vichy. I cannot believe how I did not discover them earlier! Their prices are very affordable too. I think they have come a long way in recent years. I especially love these products below:

 Vichy Liftactiv Peptide-C Anti-Age ampoules.

Vichy Neovadiol Phytosculpt Neck and Face Contour Creme

Vichy Neovadiol Rose Platinum moisturizing day creme

I began using the anti-age Peptide-C ampoules recently and already I’m noticing a huge difference. My skin looks and feels smoother. I get three uses from each capsule, though they say enough for two uses, morning and evening. So unlike French cuisine, their portions are generous! I think the idea here is you use them for a month to boost your skin and then every so often when your skin is looking and feeling tired. At least that’s what I am doing.

I regret not being nicer to my neck a long time ago! It keeps my head and body together, yet I never felt it deserved expensive treatment. Poor neck! I remember a blogger I follow relaying a very sad story about when her mother-in-law was being wheeled into surgery (she later died!) her last words to her were “Don’t forget to take care of your neck too!” They had been talking about beauty treatments, etc. as a distraction I guess. I think that’s when I began being nice to my neck!

The BEST by far neck creme I have used is Vichy’s Neovadiol Phytosculpt Neck and Face Countour Creme. I apply it also to the contours of my face. It is thick and rich and as I apply it, I can really feel it is making a difference. The texture of the cream is really nice, not soft or messy. This one sticks!

If I was told I could only have ONE Vichy product — Only ONE! — I would choose the Vichy Neovadiol Rose Platinum day creme. It is a complete experience. I love the visual of the pink fluorescent jar, the sweet delightful scent of roses from the creme, and if that is not enough, the creme has a pink colour, which gives a soft pink glow to ageing skin. I feel like a blushing teenager again! Seriously, you gotta try this one!! The perfume of the roses reminds me of my mother’s guest bathroom. She always used rose scented hand wash! So this product scores on many levels. It also feels wonderful on my skin too. I really love it!

If you use any of the above, I would love to get your opinion too! Great price. If you’re a Senior like me (55+), you can get 20% off everything at Shoppers Drug Mart, a wonderful store here in Canada.

On that very happy note, Au Revoir for now! Have a fabulous weekend and take care of yourselves! Do what you love and love what you do!

Hugs,

Patricia and Coco xxx
