Rave reviews
The £8 make-up must-have has received an impressive 4.6-star rating online, with one writing: ''Perfect level of glow for my mature skin!''
A fellow Boots shopper chimed in: ''Omg this loose powder makes my skin look flawless.
''I have extremely dry skin and this powder looks amazing on the skin. It doesn’t make my skin look powdery, it’s extremely light weight and it feels good on the skin.
''I’ve never used a loose powder that makes my skin look and feel so good. It’s amazing!''

''This powder is everything everyone said it was! No lies here this powder is lightweight blurring just beautiful the best product from these guys easy!
''This is a 100% MUST-HAVE.''
However, although the reviews were mainly positive, not everyone had had the best experience with the powder, as some advised to steer clear of it.
One shopper claimed: ''It looked very cakey on the under eyes and on my forehead. It cracks and does not last long at all.''

Healthy habits to prevent skin ageing
Although a lot of this has to do with your genetics and how much care you take of your skin, there are also a few healthy habits that can make a huge difference.
Use sunscreen to avoid sun damage every day, no matter whether it's sunny or cloudy.
Avoid sunbeds, which have also been linked to skin cancer and premature ageing.
Avoid smoking, vaping and excessive drinking.
Stick to healthy and nourishing foods, such as green leafy veggies and fruit.
Make sure you get a good amount of sleep - roughly eight hours a night.
