Saw this as an advert on Facebook and thought I'd give it a try.
It arrived poorly wrapped, badly battered and squashed so was pretty apprehensive whilst opening it.
I was particularly unimpressed with its' appearance, as it looked a bit 'cheap'.
However, as I was in a rush yesterday, I used it and to my utter surprise it beautifully straightened and dried my fringe AND left me with lovely shiny hair.
What can a say? The old saying is true....... Never judge a book by its cover!

At 51 years old I decided it was time for me to begin using age appropriate products.
So I was grateful to receive a gift box set for Christmas which just happened to include this.
This product comes out of the squeezy bottle as a nice, creamy substance.
I use a scrunchy sponge in the shower and it only takes a pea sized amount to instantly create wonderfully creamy and luxurious bubbles.
I have now been using it for six months and, although it has made little difference to its appearance, it has resulted in beautifully soft skin.

At 51 years old and having tried more products than I care to remember, I have finally found a good one.
This product states it is for normal skin and contains jojoba oil and Vitamin E and says it's 90% organic.
I have combination, sensitive skin and it works really well for me.
I was very happily surprised, the first time I used it, to see a luxuriously thick cream appearing from the pump action bottle.
This cream glides onto the skin easily and is quickly absorbed, leaving you with an amazingly smooth, soft barrier.
What more can I say?

This product actually does what it says on the tin.
Having 51 year old skin, which my younger self really didn't look after, I find this product not only works, it is also super user friendly.
It comes out of the pump action bottle as a lotion and with minimal effort creates a smooth and porcelain like base, ready for your foundation.
I also use it without make-up as it also gives my face a naturally, fresher look.

Again, another great product from The Ordinary.
Not only can this be used on your skin, it's also a good treat for the hair too!
First, the face....
I only use this at night, just before bed, to allow it to continue working while I sleep.
Sometimes, if my 51 year old skin is feeling particularly tired, it becomes stage 3 in my night-time regime, having used the The Ordinary's Squalane Cleanser and Argireline Solution 10% first.
WARNING! This product goes a long way, so you don't need to use a lot.... Especially once you get into a routine.
If you make that mistake, as I did the first time I used it, just gently dab off the excess and leave it to work its magic overnight.
You'll wake up with amazingly soft and moisturised skin.
My 22 year old daughter, who wears full make-up daily, also uses it when she wants to give her face a beauty treatment. So it's great for any age group too!
Now to the hair!
If like me you have thick, curly or frizzy hair this is brilliant stuff. It can be used as both an overnight treat, with any excess washed off in the morning, or as a boost which is applied when your hair is still damp and gently worked through before drying.
I use it as and when I think it's needed, which for me is once a week-ish.
Again this product goes a long way, so don't use too much! You can always add a little more if it's needed.
After using this, I have found that my hair doesn't hate being straightened any more and just feels amazing.
All this and it comes at a crazy price too.
The entire range is within an amazing price bracket too.
I love it! ❤️

This is one of many I have tried over the years. However my experimentation has finally come to an end as, just like their other products, I have found THE ONE. This product is similar to a serum and I use it directly after cleansing with their Squalane Cleanser.
Once cleansed, this simply glides on and is quickly and easily absorbed into my 51 year old skin.
Once done, my skin feels amazingly smooth and even softer.
My 22 year old daughter also uses this when she gives her face a beauty treatment, so it's great for any age group too.
WOW.... I love this range! ❤️

This product is the best I have ever used...... and I've tried a lot over the years.
It's applied as a cream and desolves, as you gently rub it onto the skin, into an oil.
My skin is left feeling beautifully soft and........ I can't find the right word. You'll just have to try it for yourself to understand!
