Helen Mirren Glowing Skin

With gorgeous older women fronting major beauty campaigns – Charlotte Rampling and Tilda Swinton for NARS, Andie MacDowell (sans extreme airbrush) for L’Oreal and Jessica Lange for Marc Jacobs – it’s now arguably even more important to wear your age well, which means great skin, and an arsenal of quick-fixes to help you get your glow on, pronto!

Liquilift Bio-Active Face MaskWithin just forty minutes, Liquilift’s {Bio Active Face Lift} physically tones, tightens and diminishes signs of fatigue – wrinkles are reduced and skin looks enviably youthful… (Sssssh! We won’t tell if you don’t).

Omorovicza Gold Hydralifting MaskWhen you wake up looking a little lacklustre, Omorovicza’s {Gold Hydralifting Mask} contains three types of hyaluronic acid, released in stages to maintain your skin’s hydration levels over time. An innovative mask-cum-moisturiser, just apply to cleansed skin in the morning and tissue off any excess once you’ve finished the dregs of your life-giving coffee – there’s no need to rinse.
