Here’s a review for all the older ladies! (Hopefully Beyoncé will come up with a song for us soon! Lol!) I am a 50-year-old Mom with dry skin and a couple of age spots (eewww!). Running out of my daytime face cream, I decided to try “Wise Woman Regenerating Day Cream” from The Body Shop ( http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/bodyshop/ It was not cheap, ($32.00).
Loved the store, there were lots of great smelling creams and lotions to try. (Moroccan Rose is a standout, I’m a fan of florals anyway). The Nature’s Minerals Loose Face Powder looked good on the back of my hand, excellent coverage and a matte finish, but was so messy to use, I decided not to buy it. There was a lot of information available about their philosophy, fair-trade practices, environmentally-friendly packaging and, of course, their stand against testing on animals. (http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/bodyshop/values/index.jsp If you don’t want to read labels but still be animal- and planet-friendly, this would be a convenient way to shop.
The store manager was friendly and energetic and knew her product line. I was disappointed to discover the daily moisturizer for women my age had no sunscreen, but I decided to try it anyway, since my foundation has an spf of 20. The name of the product made me think of pictures like this, http://flickr.com/photos/kazkapades/272225375 beautiful to be sure, but not the look I’m going for. However, the lotions feels GREAT. It has a little bit of subtle sparkle that works for me, too, and a very light but pleasant scent.
I will definitely shop at The Body Shop again, although I probably won’t buy the “Wise Woman” face cream again, it was expensive and had no sunscreen.
Thanks Susan!
