Considering that I’m approaching the bottom-range of a midlife crisis, I am very aware of the fact that I need to do something more (pro-)active about my currently often non-existent skin-care route.

Thanks to the recently extended WBeauty range that offer newly formulated skincare products, my intentions to cleanse, exfoliate, tone, and moisturised may actually turn into reality.

I’ve tried the daily foaming cleanser, the exfoliating cleanser, the daily cleansing toner, and the radiance night cream. Other products in the range include a daily gel cleanser, daily cream cleanser, eye makeup remover (in liquid or lotion formulas), daily cleansing toner for sensitive skin, day cream, and eye cream (also in “ageless” and “replenish” for mature and extra mature skin). The range also boasts four new serums, specially formulated to treat specific skin ailments: anti-ageing, hydrating, even tone, and brightening.

Finding the perfect combination of products that leave your skin looking radiant and feeling great, has never been easier.

WBeauty products are developed in accordance with Woolworths Good Beauty Principles. This means that they avoid the use of mineral oils and harsh petrochemical ingredients, and choose safe, gentle ingredients instead.  Each product has been through a rigorous safety assessment and has not been tested on animals, earning us the approval of Beauty Without Cruelty.

My skin tends to be fickle and I was absolutely delighted to find that none of the products in this range that I tried caused any discomfort or breakouts. The cleansers in particular have a fantastic delicate fragrance, and are very gentle on the skin – yes, even the exfoliating cleanser (a creamy cleanser with tiny particles to polish away dead skin). The night cream is light and quick-absorbing.

If you’ve been looking for an affordable, quality range of skin care products that won’t irritate your skin and address any aging concerns, you can’t go wrong with Woolworths’ newly formulated beauty range. Visit the beauty counter at any Woolies, shop online at www.woolworths.co.za
