To enliven dull skin
As we get older, cell turnover rate slows, leaving layers of dead, dry skin to build up on the skin’s surface. Add that to a lack of sun and the cold dry air sapping any youthful radiance from skin, and the complexion is left looking pallid and lackluster.
A-list secret to stunning: L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Rosy Tone Moisturizer (Ulta.com).
“If you don’t feel like wearing a lot of makeup, just put on a little bit of [the moisturizer], a mascara and some lip color,” Helen Mirren has said of how she includes it in her beauty routine. How it works: Together, the cream’s peony extract (its vitamin C brightens and hydrates skin), lipohydroxy acids (they whisk away accumulated dead skin cells on the face, bringing the healthy skin underneath to the surface) and rosy pigments (they impart an instant flush) restore radiance.
To do: Rub a nickel-size amount of cream onto the face once a day. Use daily to see a noticeable difference in two weeks.
