TURN BACK TIME

No matter how endowed you are, skin-wise, age is going to catch up with you one day (haha). Snark aside, we'd like to take the time to tell you about a new The Body Shop product that just might save your skin.

Drops of Youth, the newest in the Nutriganics skincare line by the brand, is a concentrate that one would use post-toner, pre-serum. Think of it as a product that works all over the face (sans eye area) by combating the first signs of aging. This product, that's said to be 99% natural, replaces dead skin cells on the surface, while hydrating and stimulating cell repair. It works its magic thanks to ingredients like beech bud extract, Criste-Marine - a super resiliant plant from the coast of Brittany, and babassu oil, the use of which benefits the women in Maranhao, Brazil.

And our favourite part of it all is how this works in combination with your tried-and-tested toner, serums and moisturisers, to perfect your skin, thanks to its all natural formula. 8 out of 10 users in an independent study said their skin looked smoother after using the product, and our CATALOG tester loves how the concentrate smooths, and isn't too drying or oily.

Priced at $58.90 for 30ml, The Body Shop's Drops of Youth concentrate is available from 9 January 2012 at all The Body Shop outlets.
