WHILE getting older is a blessing, most of us aren’t ready to see the years on our face.
And a bid to maintain eternal youth Brits spend hundreds of pounds each year on skincare products, and thousands on treatments.

But a popular anti-ageing cream – which will set shoppers back just £13.99 – is said to work wonders.
Fans of the budget item said it actually works by “making fine lines less noticeable”.
The L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Filler Hyaluronic Acid Anti Ageing Night Cream has an average rating of 4.7 out of five on the Boots website.
It contains highly-concentrated hyaluronic acid which plumps the skin.
Beauty buffs claim the cream leaves lines “less visible”, with more than 100 people giving it a five-star rating.
One shopper said: “Wow! I feel ten years younger! Awesome night cream.
“When I wake up I can see my face completely re-plumped!”
A second added: “I bought this product two weeks ago and it’s made such a huge difference.
“My skin feels softer, plumper and there is a noticeable reduction in wrinkles too.”
A third person, who didn’t like the product as much, said: “I bought this to put on after the serum I find it gives my skin good hydration over night but I can’t say there is any plumping effect at all.”
Other cheap skincare swaps to stop your skin ageing
Here are some cheap anti-ageing skincare options which are just as good as the expensive brands.
1. Bondi Sands SPF (£6.99 in Boots)
Ultimately, sun cream is the best way to prevent the signs of ageing – as well as skin cancer.
According to cosmetic dermatologist, Denisse Serano, SPF is “often overlooked but so important”.
“It doesn’t matter which brand you buy, as long as you use it every single day and you love it, that’s what counts,” she explained in a TikTok video.
GP and skincare expert Dr Ahmed El Muntasar suggests getting your hands on Bondi Sands in a Australian brand – because who better to trust when it comes to the sun than Aussies!
2. The Ordinary retinol 1% in squalane (£7.90 in Boots)
Retinol creams and serums have been clinically proven to reduce the signs of ageing – but many come at a hefty price.
“The ingredients in retinols can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone,” registered dermatologist from Canada, Dr Solish Nowell, told the Sun.
But you don’t have to spend a bomb to get hold of a decent retinol.
The Ordinary’s retinol 1% in squalane is lightweight but potent solution improves your skin’s texture and tone and reduces dark spots, plumping and firming as it goes.
