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.

We are giving away a set of both the Golden Balm Face, Neck & Chest Cream as well as the Golden Balm Eye Serum to one lucky winner.

Posted at 02:11h, 15 JulyI need help for my eyes they have started to get a little dark underneath and my skin on my face seems dull. So I would absolutely love to win these products to try. Lord knows I’ve spent a lot on products that don’t live up to their claims. Thanks for the opportunity in the giveaway. 🙂

Posted at 02:28h, 15 JulyI would like to try either one but I guess the face,neck cream would be the most beneficial. I’m starting to see lines appear around my neck and mouth. Would love to see if this would help before it’s too late! 🙂

Posted at 02:33h, 15 JulyOne sure sign of age is the neck area. I have been on an extensive search for a neck cream that will help stop the fine lines and crinkles I see starting to form. Neck and hands give it away every time. I can hide alot on my face (wishing I didn’t have to). Golden Balm sounds VERY interesting and promising. Here I am. Over 50. Who am I kidding..Over 60!!!!
