14 Jul (Review & Giveaway) L’Oreal Paris Launches Hydra-Nutrition Golden Balm Line for Mature, Thinning Skin
Mature skin (we’re talking women over 50) has distinct needs. Remember that cell turnover process that happens every 28 days? Well, that slows down significantly once you reach your 30’s. Once you hit your 50’s, the skin enters the intensive care phase — but this doesn’t mean you should worry.
The dry, thinning and less resilient skin that is associated with mature women has a new friend in L’Oreal’s specifically targeted Age Perfect Hydra Nutrition Golden Balm line which has nourishing essential oils, precious oils and skin-strengthening calcium.
This products really has a luxurious look and feel to them, as though you’re purchasing goods reserved for the hallowed shelves of luxury department stores. The Golden Balm collection provides extreme hydration and comfort and promises 24 hours of hydration by penetrating deep into the skin layers. It works to re-cushion the skin from within and locks in hydration for a full 24 hours.
There is a Golden Balm for the Face, Neck & Chest areas ($19.99). What is interesting about this balm is not simply the essential oils, but a category they call “precious” oils, and there are ten of these. From apricot kernel oil, which is both an effective and mild oil, to flax seed oil (also known as linseed oil) which is delicate, this blend is rich and potent but not greasy.
Another product in the line is the Golden Balm for the delicate under eye area ($19.99). Use this in small dots around the eye area and smooth it in gently until absorbed. According to research, dark circles peak at 50 + years of age, so this age group would benefit from using this Golden Balm in a big way. Last but not least is a Hydra-Nutrition Day/Night Cream, a fortified and resilient velvety smooth cream priced at $16.99 to be used twice daily.
We are glad at the way skincare categorization has evolved into such a niche affair: there seems to be a product for every demographic and this is a good thing, but only if you use the products regularly. There’s nothing worse than having several creams and serums piling up never to be used. But we have a feeling that this rich mixture is just the thing for women with mature skins.

Posted at 00:28h, 20 JulyAt the age of 58, there are many things about my skin that could be improved. I think that my worst problem is probably the sagging that I am seeing. However, I am also really upset about the way the redness of broken capillaries has become so visible. I “like” you over on FB as Lynn Brooks.

Posted at 04:14h, 20 JulyI would like to change my skincare routine for my unde reye area. The products that I am using now are very oily and don’t seem to be working well to diminish fine lines and circles.

Posted at 05:58h, 20 JulyI would like a moisturizer that would keep my face and neck moisturizes and keep it tight. Would also be nice to find a product that will keep my skin glowing and even my skin tone.
