ESPA Lift & Firm

ESPA have most certainly set the bar high when it comes to anti-aging skincare. Unleashing a range of complex, hard working products onto the market containing ingredients such as Argan Oil, Micro Algae and Lupin Seed to help nourish, hydrate and tighten the skin, I passed on a selection of products to my dear mother to review in all her mature skinned glory. Take it away, mum!

"I was given the opportunity to try out the new ESPA Lift and Firm age-defying Collection because I am now at the age where - lets just say - some defying is needed. The products come in very attractive, nicely designed boxes. Inside, the pumps have clean, simple and sophisticated lines, spot on for looking good on the bathroom shelf. I was also pleased to see that the ingredients were made up of nearly 99% natural products with no synthetic colours or parabens to be found.

Twice a day, morning and night, I applied the Intensive Serum followed by the Moisturiser. They both have a fresh, pleasant fragrance, slightly reminiscent of the seaside, and absorb quickly. After a few days I noticed an improvement in the appearance of the skin on my neck, it looked firmer and less crinkly. There was also an improvement on my face; wrinkles were less obvious, my skin tone had evened out and I'd acquired a rather nice, healthy glow - someone at work even asked if I'd been on holiday....!

Face Serum/ Eye Serum swatched

Along with the face products I also trialled both the Intensive Eye Serum and Firm Eye Moisturiser (which contains a Nobel Prize Winning ingredient!). I was a bit sparing with them to begin with, but the benefit is really from applying them generously. The area under my eyes looked a lot better within a few days. The network of fine wrinkles was reduced and the general tone of the skin was much improved.

Lift and Firm Mask

Finally, there was the Lift and Firm Mask; a twice weekly treatment I decadently applied during episodes of "Desperate Housewives" or "Mad Men". What can I say - it worked a treat! The mask left my skin feeling extremely soft, radiant and smooth - honestly, I felt I could have given any woman on Wisteria Lane a run for her money.

I thoroughly enjoyed testing these ESPA products. Not only were they an absolute pleasure to use but, more importantly, they really did work. Which, lets face it, is what we really want in any 'age defying' collection."

ESPA Lift and Firm Collection is available from espaonline.com. Prices start at £38.
