One of the things that started to bother me last year was that I noticed were little lines appearing on my neck. I'm super irritated by it, but it's to be expected I suppose. Unfortunately I've always been a bit rubbish with moisturising my neck, absolutely resolute day in, day out for my face but sort of forgot my neck (I'm the same with my hands, they always need a bit of tlc).Anyway, I was browsing in M&S before Christmas, (I absolutely love the M&S beauty department by the way, there's so much to see and it's nicely set out) and I came across the Bliss brand. Now, I was looking for a hydrating face cream, not a neck cream and I did get a Bliss face cream which I'll review separately but I was intrigued by this cream and couldn't resist.
So, who are Bliss?
Bliss are brand used in Spa's all over the US, I guess it's a bit like the Champneys Spa's, the products are for the Spa but you can get them in the shops as well. You can also to a Bliss Spa here in the UK (see website for info). Anyway, Bliss are big business, all their skincare products are devised by dermatologists and plastic surgeons so it's pretty safe to say that if they say it's a product that will help ageing skin then it probably will.
The Cream
Firstly, how cute is the name of this product? Everyone wants a 'thinny, thin chin' and if it can be one where the lines are hidden then so much the better. It comes in a pump action bottle which I really like because it means that you don't end up getting too much out and not being able to put it back. I hate waste and at that price (£33.00 for 50ml) you really don't want to waste a single particle.
The cream is smoothed in upwards strokes on your neck and chin and also works on the décolleté and cleavage crease area too (I've got little lines there as well).
Results?
Well, I'll say this for the Bliss Thinny Thin Chin Cream, I did notice an difference, once it sinks in it sort of tightens everything immediately. You're supposed to put it on twice a day but I always forget at night and only do it in the morning. I think once I start wearing t shirts with lower necks and ditch my polo neck jumpers I'll be more aware that I need to use it! It also has a really gorgeous smell and it's not greasy, it doesn't leave icky residue all over your hands that you feel you have to wash off.
The ultimate test is whether the product would make it into my basket again, and this really would. There's a little intake of breath at the £33.00 price tag, however I don't mind paying for something if I think I'm getting something out of it, and with this I do. It matches the price of the other high end brands in the M&S beauty department, actually some are more expensive so it's a swings and roundabouts situation I guess, personal preference and all that. I'm actually quite pleased that I tried the Bliss products, I wouldn't be adverse to trying something else in their range, I would quite like to give the Triple Oxygen Instant Energising Eye Gel a try.
