“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.”
-Audrey Hepburn
When I was young, I wanted to BE Audrey Hepburn. Her beauty, her style, her grace, her wisdom, her empathy, her humility – she was everything.
Audrey knew that we age, but that we can age gracefully and be beautiful, because our beauty comes from within.
Do you ever get all dolled up to go out for the evening, and you look in the mirror, and you just feel great? And do you notice that when you feel great, you get a lot of compliments on how you look? That’s not just because you picked out a great outfit or aced your makeup and hair, but because your confidence is shining through it all too!
Your attitude is everything. Well, almost everything. A good beauty routine is essential too!
It’s never too early to start taking care of your skin. Personally, I’ve always had dry skin, even in my 20s, so I’ve used skin care products for a loooong time!
That said it’s also never too late. If you’re already in your 50s (or even beyond), you can start now.
How do I know which products to use?
It can be overwhelming, looking at all of the skin care products on the market! Which ones are right for you?
First, you want to assess your specific skin care needs, and go from there.
- Is you skin dry, oily, or combination?
- Do you have fine lines, or deep wrinkles?
- Do you have age spots or dark circles?
- Do you have sagging (as in jowls)?
You should choose your skin care regimen based on your concerns, not necessarily your age. I have customers in their 70s who have beautiful skin and don’t need much more than a good moisturizer. And then there are women in their 50s with fine lines and wrinkles. And let’s face it, sooner or later all of us will have sagging skin.
The most important thing is hydration. If your skin is hydrated well, it will naturally look more youthful. So, never skimp on moisturizer!
What products are best for my skin type?
Let’s look at two of the mature skin care lines available from your Avon Representative (that would be me). 😉
Anew Ultimate
Why lie about your age? Your skin care can do that for you.
The Anew Ultimate skin care line is for combating multiple signs of aging – including fine lines and wrinkles, skin tone and texture, and puffy eyes.
This line includes a Day Cream with SPF 25, a Night Cream, a Night Repair Serum, a Multi-Performance Eye System, and an Ultimate Supreme Eye Balm. Also available are Ultimate Supreme Dual Elixer and Ultimate Supreme Advanced Performance Creme with Black Pearl Extract.
You can get the Ultimate Regimen Set shown here, which includes the Day and Night Creams, the Multi-Performance Eye System, and a trial-size Power Serum, for just $54.99 – a savings of over $30 if purchased separately!

Anew Platinum
If your main concern is loose, sagging skin, you’ll want to look at the Anew Platinum line. These products are specially formulated to tighten and re-sculpt sagging, lackluster skin.
The Anew Platinum line includes a Day Cream with SPF 25, a Night Cream, an Age Delay Serum, an Eye & Lip Cream, and a Firm & Sculpt Cream for Neck and Chest. Also available is a Sculpting Body Serum.
A Platinum Regimen Set is also available for just $54.99 (a savings of over $30 if purchased separately). The set includes full-size Day Cream, Night Cream, and Eye & Lip Cream, plus a trial size tube of Anew Power Serum.
Avon also offers many other options for the care of your beautiful face. See them all here.
