A 54-Year-Old Shares 7 Beauty Products That Make Her Look 10 Years Younger

This classic daily moisturiser by Ere Perez, Moringa All-Beauty Crème, contains nutritious ingredients that just melt into the skin, soothing dryness and tired skin, and leaving my complexion glowing. I find it to be the perfect base for under makeup and use it as my first layer of hydration. Hero ingredients include moringa—known to accelerate skin cell renewal—apricot kernel oil to firm and tone, lemon balm for powerful antioxidants, and prickly pear, which is loaded with vitamin E for healthy skin! This brand is recent discovery for me, and I'm obsessed not only with their overall skincare line but also with their makeup line.

Barbara Sturm is the queen of clean skincare, offering up products that are proven to work to diminish signs of ageing, fine lines and wrinkles. She formulates all her products herself, and combines the power of science and natural ingredients. I love several of her products, but in particular the eye cream, which targets dark circles, bags and puffiness. I have a sensitive eye area, and have found this fragrance-free product to be super potent, gentle and effective! Since using this cream, I’ve noticed the bags under my eyes have calmed down significantly—our eyes tell our age, so it’s a great product to invest in if you want to take years off your face without actually going under the knife!

Versed is a well-priced, clean beauty brand created by one of Who What Wear's co-founders, Katherine Power. I've been road-testing several products within the line and have been regularly using this hyaluronic acid formula. This serum booster is so light and disappears into the skin effortlessly—I add it daily to my face moisturiser for an extra hydration boost. It gives my dry skin the extra love it needs to stay super moist throughout the day! Yes, please!

This exfoliator from Goop is a natural skincare product that literally polishes away any roughness and smooths uneven areas. This instant exfoliating treatment has been called a "powerful facial in a little jar,” and it’s comprised of natural ingredients and essential oils, micro-exfoliating minerals, and glycolic acid. It’s truly a dual-action product, offering the benefits of both physical and chemical exfoliation. 

I wear this product from Coola every single day because it’s one of the best multitaskers I’ve found in natural beauty. It’s an amazing skin-perfecting moisturiser with light/sheer coverage that leaves your skin even-toned and dewy! It comes in three shades depending on your skin tone; I like to use the medium-deep shade for a sun-kissed glow. Coola’s eco-conscious formulas are locally sourced with a Farm to Face® philosophy and are scientifically advanced… This is something I can get behind; I use a variety of the brand’s sun protection products from head to toe.

Founded by wellness entrepreneur Miranda Kerr out of her passion for all things holistic and natural, Kora Organics offers some of the best-certified organic skincare products I’ve tested. I recently discovered the line and was blown away by how much I love the toxin-free products designed to safely enrich your skin. I have so many faves but for starters, the Allure Best in Beauty award–winning Noni Glow Body Oil is certainly one to try. This oil immediately absorbs into the skin, and the scent is heavenly. I like to mix it in with my body moisturizer, and then finish with it on my legs and arms before heading out for youthful, glowy skin. I’m a huge fan of oils, an absolute staple for all-over moisture for both face and body.

As we age, our hair changes texture and needs extra love. I’ve been on the search for clean haircare products that leave my hair looking and feeling its best, but are also sulphate- and silicone-free. Say hello to Innersense! All of the brand’s products have an amazing spa-fresh scent and contain certified-organic plant ingredients that deliver hydration, health, moisture, shine and protection.
I’m not the only one obsessed with the hydrating cream and conditioner, as both have won Allure’s Best in Beauty awards! Ingredients include certified organic monoi oil and aloe that strengthen the hair follicle, smooth cuticles and control frizz. My hair looked super shiny and hydrated after the first use. 

I also use and switch off with Gloss Moderne hair products, a minimalist, natural, luxury haircare collection made from the highest-quality and health-forward ingredients. The shampoo and conditioner are both amazing, and the subtle tropical scent is gorgeous! I love the way my hair looks and feels when using their products. Pricey but worth the investment!
