Hot Topic This Week - The Rise of The 'Pillow Face'!

'The Rise of The Pillow Face' has been a popular talking point this week & I don't think we could find a better term for the new celebrity phenomena that has been sweeping the red carpets of late! Linda Evans snagging the Hells Kitchen trophy this week sparked quite a few remarks on her 'pillow' like cheeks at the 'tender' age of 65, clear give away signs of the new popular non-invasive cosmetic surgery...!!! Increasing numbers of A-listers are requesting the new sought after 'plumped' look, as opposed to the 'wind tunnel' face lift or the 'frozen' & 'shiny' Botox looks that have been all the rage over the last decade.. As we age & our skin looses not only it's elasticity but it's fullness & volume as well, which no amount of botox can bring back & that's where the magic 'Fillers' come in to play, with one simple injection all your youth can come flooding back....or does it!!?? Some may disagree & instead say all we see is unnatural puffed out cheeks & swollen lips!
The most popular fillers are Restylane, Voluma & Radiese & now a new more controversial product called Sculptra which was developed for AIDS patients whose faces would sink around the skill after treatment.
Below are a few other clear candidates for the Pillowface age, some food for thought on how we would like to see ourselves in the next 10 or even 20 years perhaps!!!?? -

No7 Launch New Protect & Perfect Intense

Doesn't seem like that long ago queues of us were lining the high streets throughout the UK in the hope we would be lucky enough to snap up a bottle of the ground breaking anti-ageing serum 'Protect & Perfect' from Boots. Well since then it's obviously still a best seller & definitely now a cult beauty classic, so in order to get us all back in to another frenzy No7 at Boots have launched 'Protect & Perfect Intense' in store today! After rigorous testing over the last year No7 claim that their new serum can visibly improve the appearance of deep lines & wrinkles by up to 50% as well as being the first anti-ageing product to restore the skins structure with pro-longed use, pretty impressive claims! Although it's considered a national treasure amongst us ladies these days & not many have a bad word to say about it!
Advice is to use the serum as part of your daily Protect & Perfect skincare regime & they advise you will see the results after 4 weeks & after using for 6 months it is proven to help the skin rebuild with improved elasticity.
