I’m a moisturiser junkie – I’m forever slathering my face and hands with lotions.
Just ask anyone I’ve ever shared a workspace with – it probably seems vain, but I can’t help it – I just have really thirsty skin that feels weird when it’s dry (I’ve got eczema on other parts of my body, it’s just my skin type).
Over the years I’ve spent mega bucks on creams – from high-end ones to stuff from discount pharmacies. It takes a lot to impress me – and it’s not the brand or the supermodel advertising it I’m into, it’s what it does to my skin that matters.
So when a new face cream comes up for trialling in the Mamamia office, I snap it up immediately. And this week I was tasked with trying the Youth Cell Cream from Skin Doctors. Tough gig, I know.

The promise of YouthCell Youth Activating Cream
I'm not remotely interested in packaging, but I'm definitely a sucker for a luxurious smell. And this cream smells much like the rich, expensive creams I've used in the past. So, yep, the scent had me at hello.
This is the Skin Doctors promise about the contents:
"With its unique combination of plant stem cells and anti ageing peptides, YouthCell™ works not only at a cellular level to “teach” the skin how to look young again, but also at the skin’s surface to treat the signs of ageing already visible."

Sounds great, I'm a sucker for face creams, I'm going to try it.
That's the reason I come to this site, then I get side tracked with politics. 😞
