29yr female using face cream for mature skin?

[what..the?]

Ok so I got about 5 boxes of expensive face cream from an old relative all unused she said its bad on her typeof skin, It has all this special technology/ingredients for very mature skin. So would this be bad for me to use aged 29 but look early to mid 20's. I use cheap 'simple' cream during the day and a olay pump action bottle of night cream under the eyes at night. During the day I am considering using the loreal day cream for mature skin surely it would be better than the 'simple' even if it is for older skin??

What do you think is it ok to use??

I would say if your skin care regime works for you now don't change it!

[poodicat]

Simple products are very good stick with them

[what..the?]

I dont think my regime now it great or anything the fact I look young for my age is just down to other things I think. During the day I struggle with the 'simple' cream being to sticky/greasy??

[Greedyfly]

You can only try them and see really. Different things work for different skins/people

very true I will try and see was just worried there might be something in the cream just for mature skin and people say ohhhhh no dont use that on your skin!!!

Thanks for your help

Try the aldi Lacura range, I'm a recent convert and very chuffed with them.

I've previously been advised not to use creams for mature skin on my face (I'm 31) by a couple of different lasses in the beauty industry.

oh right

I knew I'd seen something a while back about this very subject so had a scout around and found this -

It is in the Daily Mail mind you, so possibly best not to take it as gospel.

I would also say try them, although you mention that the Simple cream makes your skin feel sticky/greasy during the day. Products for mature skin are usually very rich.

thanks so much for that link it is true that the cream is heavier and therefore the skin and sweat pores cannot work properly because I gave the cream to my bf he is 36 and he got extra hot with it on and his face went extra sweaty as the cream and the sweat were fighting for space on his face!! he had to wash it off.

Thanks

is there any 'light' day creams out there with sun protection that smell nice I suppose that is the type of day cream i want??

[yinyang]

The one I'm using just now is by The Sanctuary. As well as SPF 15 it gives an instant 'glow' to the skin and has a very light build up tanner as well. I use it in the morning then don't use any foundation because i don't like my face feeling caked and heavy when it's hot.

right I might have a look out for that one, thanks

Creams for maturer skin tend to be richer, so can be to heavy on younger skin. Have you noticed your skin feeling greasier since you've used it? If you're unsure of whats best for you then larger Boots stores have a machine that detects your skin type which is a free service. Pretend you sound interested & you should get some samples! Or go to one of the beauty counters for a consultation. Good luck!
