A number of my WOF customers (Women Over Fifty) have asked for a skin serum. richer than my Emollient Botannica to help with fine lines and wrinkles, so I formulated a serum to Turn Back Time.
There is a lot of buzz around castor oil being "botox in a bottle", but it is very heavy and can feel unpleasant on the skin, so I have kept some in, but improved the skin feel with other natural oils, that are great for older skin like Rosehip oil..
I have added it in to my daily skincare routine, swapping out my Emollient Botannica which I just keep for a weekly treat when using my gua sha massager.
Stop fine lines and wrinkles
It is not just for Women Over Fifty, Jess is in her 30s and loves it too. For her it is more about using it as a prophylactic to prevent skin damage. Soft, healthy and moisturised skin is going to be less prone to wrinkles.
The label was inspired by the colours in the official video for Cher's massive hit from 1989 when Women Over Fifty were in their first prime.
