As an aging poof I look after my skin and I make my own skin stuffs.
Once upon a time I met a woman who was browsing skin products alongside me (and an ex) in a major high street shop. As we spoke it became clear that this lovely lady was far older than she appeared. I was genuinely shocked to hear that she was in her 80s! Her secret, she told me, was application of her moisturizer of choice (Nivea Q10), at intervals throughout the day and night. A particular example I recall was that when she awoke for a pee in the night she'd do the moisturizer thang.
Anyhoo, back to the crux of the matter.
Oils are where it's at for me. I've tried everything from regular e.v olive oil, avocado oil et al. Recently I've been using a version of Bio Oil called Rescue Oil. It's base is apricot oil. Another one I've found most recently is a 'mums' oil for pregnant mums tums ...yup you read that correctly . It's a fantastic mix of grapeseed, coconut, argan, rosehip and wheatgerm oils. I now mix the Rescue and Tum oils, love the result and use it on face and body.
For those who can afford it I recommend pure argan oil, a product of morocco and fantastic stuff. Beware of fakes on the internet though.
