Face cream help.
Hi, I've never been one for daily skincare, I don't wear much make up and tend to just scrub off what I wear in the bath!
As part of my new 'all about me' regime lol I want to start using a daily face cream.
Soooooo.....what would you all recommend?
I'm 42, my skin can be a little dry and I want something that does everything...bit of wrinkle thingy, firm it up a touch blah blah......

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.All the range from Aldi is very good, and highly recommended and also, has had brilliant recommendation from many magazines for both cost, and benefits. Love it myself, and at a price that you can find out if it is for you, without wasting loads of money on something you don't like.
Be aware, that if you have not used much cream on your face in the past, it may cause you to come out in spots etc, so take it slowly and use something light.

There are so many creams on the market it`s difficult to know where to start. A day lotion/cream with a sun filter in is a good idea. A night cream with Retinol in is also a good idea. I work in a really dry environment and I`ve tried lots of day lotions. I always go back to Clinique Dramatically Different lotion. It`s a shame they won`t put a uv filter in it though. It`s worth trying as many as you can as different ones suit different people. I personally think expensive ones such as Dior and Clarins are a waste of money. You`re just paying for the name and expensive packaging. I think the Boots no 7 Perform and Protect night cream might have retinol (as does their serum).
I used to use Aldi and then my Daughter suggested this one and it's really lovely..

I love nivia body cream, much prefer it over any of the more expensive stuff. I think I've been using the aldi too long and need a change and also need eye cream too as am noticing definitely more wrinkles than last year! I'm thinking of giving nivia a go for the face since I like the body stuff so much... and I can't really afford the clarins habit I would like to acquire :c)
I have taken care of my skin since my teens. Always gone through the ritual of cleanse tone and moisturise twice a day and rarely wore/wear makeup. I am now well into my fifties and have only a few tiny lines around the eyes. I used Clarins products for years and now use Elemis and Decleor, expensive they may be but I get them for birthdays and Christmas presents. Go find yourself a good skincare range in one of the big stores JohnLewis for example and get yourself some testers and see what suits. I have tried the Aldi creams and found them ok they do some nice products, I love their body exfoliator but it's not always available.
Love that link Mazie, been looking for an eyegel (everything seems to be cream nowadays) as find it's more cooling (especially if put in the fridge for a bit) than cream and so much nicer on tired eyes. Looks like they do one too.
I can't use Nivea, it's never liked my skin, I can't use anything too thick though my skin is more naturally oily. I love baby lotion as a nice simple gentle make up remover and moisturiser for simple day make up.
