Midlife can be a battle at times. A beauty product won’t fix that, but a bit of pampering can pause the stresses and provide some calm. And we all deserve that. A luxury body cream is the perfect place to start.

Using stem-cell technology, amino acids and high-grade vitamins, it firms, plumps and nourishes.
