Sqoom Review - The first two weeks

Starting out at 40

They say that life begins at 40,  for me more correctly my NEW life began at 40 - or at least just a few days later when my husband and I emigrated from the UK to Australia. Suddenly sun block became my new best friend and my true obsession with skincare really kicked in.

Previously, I really hadn't looked after my skin.  I was never a major sunbather but then I wore little or no sun block unless I was on holiday.  I suffered dreadful sunburn many times. I never used moisturiser, never really wore make-up except for weddings and funerals, so I  can't really complain or say life is unfair!

Within a few months of 40 I started surfing for skincare tips and found a wonderful new world out there of DIY lotions and potions and some beauty tools that seem proven to work. 

There is another thing about me that I must confess - I am tight!  I could never understand why someone would pay $100+ for a moisturiser that seemed to do nothing special despite the justifying raves of its purchaser.

Sites like the Skin Doctor and the Essential Day Spa - Skincare + DIY Forum pretty much backed up my view that big $$ usually equal big marketing budgets and a splash of nice scent.
