It’s that time of year again and i’m bringing you the first of my 2020 beauty and wellness Christmas gift guides. There will be 3 this week and they are jam-packed. I had a long think about how to organise them and split them up and I decided that this year I would do it be three age groups – 40+, 30s and 20s. Now, obviously, the products in these guides are not exclusive to those ages. I have claimed several from each guide, so do make sure to consult all of them when you are looking for a gift for someone special. I just wanted to give you a more streamlined set of guides with products that I think people in those age groups would like and that would suit their skin. Now, without any further chat…Elizabeth Arden Retinol Ceramide Capsules Line Erasing Night Serum* – £90 for 90 capsules from Elizabeth Arden

The Elizabeth Arden ceramide capsule range is coveted by all skincare addicts.
