No snake oil, no silver bullets, just smart solutions!
They say life begins at 40—and sure, it does—but so does the rapid disappearing act of collagen, not to mention the vanishing glow from our skin, the strength from our nails, and the bounce from our hair.
Now, I’m not here to scare you (promise!), but as someone firmly wedged in the murky middle of peri-menopause and staring down the last stretch of my mid-forties, I’ve been on a quiet crusade to find products that actually help.
No snake oil, no silver bullets, just smart solutions that support us where we’re at.
Darlings, let’s talk necks—because your skincare routine shouldn’t stop at your jawline, and NeoStrata knows it. Their award-winning Triple Firming Neck Cream with the oh-so-fancy MicroDiPeptide229 (yes, that’s a peptide upgrade!) is basically the VIP treatment your décolletage has been begging for.
For €79.95, you’re getting science-backed sass in a jar—designed to battle tech-neck wrinkles and those sneaky little signs of ageing. It lifts, it sculpts, it says ‘I woke up like this’ even when you've been side-eyeing your phone for hours. Clinical, chic, and totally result-driven, NeoStrata is skincare that works—no fluff, all fab.
Now listen up, fellow follicle fighters—because if your hair's been feeling a little more meh than va-va-volume lately (hello, flat roots and menopausal mischief), K18 has dropped a total game-changer and I am here for it.
Enter AstroLift (€49.00), the brand’s latest wonder spray that gives you all the bounce without the crunch—and yes, it actually repairs your hair while it lifts. I know, I barely believed it either. This isn't your average ‘puff and pray’ volumiser. AstroLift is clinically proven to deliver up to 2.5x more volume, with a lightweight, buildable formula that doesn’t leave you feeling like you’ve sprayed your way into a helmet. And because it’s K18 (aka the science squad of haircare), it’s packed with their K18PEPTIDE—the magic molecule that literally rebuilds damaged strands from the inside out.
But wait, there’s more. Seaweed and amino acids add volume without the weight, so your hair looks fuller, feels softer, and bounces back like you just stepped out of a blow-dry bar.
Oh, and the volume lasts 48 hours, which is longer than most of my good moods these days. For those of us facing hair thinning, damage, or just a chronic case of limp locks, AstroLift is the glam-meets-science answer we’ve been waiting for. Add it to your bathroom shelf—your hair (and your confidence) will thank you.
Let’s get real. If your skin’s feeling a little ‘meh’ and your moisturiser is just sitting there doing the bare minimum, it might be time to Bounce Back—literally. Trinny London’s Bounce Back (€68) isn’t just a moisturiser—it’s a peptide-packed, skin-plumping powerhouse designed to wake up tired, thirsty faces and give them the pep talk they’ve been crying out for.
Infused with intense peptides (yes, the ingredient of the moment and for good reason), this beauty bottle doesn’t just hydrate—it transforms. We’re talking about a 94% hydration boost on contact—like giving your skin a big, juicy drink and a firm-but-loving lift. Lines? Softer. Skin? Firmer. Vibes? Radiant.
And let’s talk multi-tasking—because who has time for a 10-step routine? Bounce Back smooths wrinkles, boosts elasticity, and visibly firms in one swipe.
If your skin’s been looking dull, deflated or just a bit done with the drama, this little pot of pep is your new skincare MVP. Think of it as your one-stop shop for hydration, glow, and bounce.
Peptides are the ingredient of the moment, and Trinny’s nailed the formula. Whether you’re chasing that just-had-a-facial plumpness or want your skin to actually look as youthful as you feel (peri-menopause be damned!), Bounce Back is the glow-up in a jar.
