Now that I’ve lost a little of the gazillion kilogrammes I piled on over the last 7 years I’ve been taking a long hard look at myself in the mirror for a change.
I’m noticing a certain crinklyness in (especially!) my neck and on my eyelids and I realise that being in denial over it isn’t going to help. Also, summer is almost here and I can’t walk around wearing scarves forever. Yes 4.0, I see you waving from over there where January looms, I’m not scared at all. But a girl’s gotta look good if you know what I mean.
BK (before kids) I was a Gatineau and Clarins girl, AK (after kids) I would do the walk of shame past the Gatineau counter in Dis-Chem, straight to the formula and nappy aisle. This made me very sad for a very long time, but it was all for a good cause and I certainly don’t think there is anything wrong with the things you buy on the shelves of the supermarkets. They served me very well for a very long time.
I just think my skin needs a little more these days and clearly plastic surgery isn’t an option for me right now (although my boobs are looking very worse for wear, I must say. Hang in there babies, Mama hasn’t forgotten about you!).
What I would like to know is this: what products do you use that you absolutely cannot live without? As in, which brand do you use for your skin, and if you have a slightly (cough) older mature skin, what would you suggest? Please, I’m not playing on the Babor and Gatineau fields anymore, but I’m sure there are products out there that are good for my skin, good for the environment and easy-ish on my pocket.
I would ideally like to build up from nothing to a range over a period of a few months and I’m looking to spend about 200 odd SA Ront per product.
Help please?
