Imagine my excitement when I was asked to review a beauty product so highly revered it has already received the approval of A-List celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Victoria Beckham and Jennifer Anniston.
While I am enough of a realist to know that no magic potions can really turn back time, my saggy almost-50-year-old skin was elated at the idea of being smothered in something that editors, beauty bloggers and dermatologists alike hail as The Must-Have anti-ageing cream.
The Rich Cream from scientific skincare brand Ausgustinus Bader has won more awards than I could shake a stick at, including Glamour’s Beauty Award for Best Moisturizer, Tatler’s Best Modern Classic, Harper Bazaar’s Best Moisturizer Splurge, Marie Claire’s Best Luxury Moisturizer for Ageing Skin - but would it be able to work its wonders on my tired skin?
