You have to hand it to Trinny Woodall<\/a> \u2013 she\u2019s a woman who commits to her beauty<\/a>. As the founder of Trinny London<\/a>, she loves to create products based on her own wishlist, knowing full well that her wants and needs will be shared by her midlife-centric Trinny Tribe. Then, once she\u2019s hit on a new problem-solving idea, she tests the formulas out religiously on her number one guinea pig: herself.<\/p>\n

There was the microneedling device she religiously rolled over her own face \u2013 and even her legs \u2013 for months ahead of launch to ensure her tool truly delivered anti-ageing results without compromising safety. (She kindly told GH exactly how she uses it to stimulate collagen<\/a> as well.)<\/p>\n

Then came last year\u2019s ‘gravity defying’ neck cream, The Elevator<\/a>. She happily admits it was inspired by a desire to firm up her own neck, which had slackened after being cut into for disc replacement surgery. \u2018I feel it\u2019s tightened now from using this. My jawline is, I feel, good,\u2019 she told GH when we chatted at the launch.<\/p>\n

Her latest launch is no exception to the rigorous Trinny testing protocol. Her newbie, the boldly named Take Back Time Elixir<\/a>, was created for a problem she often experiences and knows that pretty much all women will relate to as well.
<\/p>\n

\u2018I wanted to create a product that you put on when you just want an overall taking away of that dull, lifeless feeling that we sometimes get when we catch sight of ourselves in the mirror,\u2019 she tells GH. \u2018I can have that feeling on days when I’m really tired or I\u2019m just feeling like I need to turn around my skin.\u2019 <\/p>\n

She adds: \u2018I know that my daily skincare routine from Trinny London is like the medicine for my skin. This is like a treat; this is like a sweet for my skin and it enables me to have that instant feeling that my skin has come back to life.\u2019<\/p>\n

The Elixir, a very light-feeling essence, is designed to reboot fatigued skin in 28 days, boosting hydration<\/a>, elasticity, smoothness, softness and luminosity<\/a>. Quicker than that, it\u2019s been shown to repair and strengthen the skin barrier in just 30 minutes \u2013 a claim Trinny has most definitely tested on herself.<\/p>\n

\u2018I have an extreme example of that,\u2019 she tells GH, relaying what\u2019s very much a \u2018do not try this at home\u2019 story. ‘I went to New York to do [a] facial with Georgia Louise who is a fantastic British facialist based in New York,’ she says. ‘She used our microneedles to do quite intensive microneedling on me in a really professional, in-salon-only treatment.\u2019<\/p>\n

In a classic case of no pain, no gain, Trinny\u2019s microneedling session \u2018had temporarily broken the skin barrier\u2019, she says. \u2018But within about five minutes of putting my Elixir on, I felt such an amazing transformation; the redness of my skin turned down and it didn\u2019t hurt. Which it had a bit when she was microneedling.’<\/p>\n

\u2018So, even though I\u2019ve seen the clinical trial data on it repairing the barrier significantly within 30 minutes, being a guinea pig in that situation brought home to me how well the product was working.\u2019<\/p>\n

Aside from soothing her skin after intensive facials, Trinny tells us she\u2019s enjoying the gentler daily benefits, too. \u2018I feel this improvement in the life of my skin \u2013 it\u2019s the only way I can describe it,\u2019 she says. \u2018It\u2019s this extra layer of skincare<\/a> I didn\u2019t know I needed. And people are just saying, \u201cYou look really well,\u201d when I\u2019m thinking, \u201cI shouldn\u2019t be, because I\u2019m not sleeping enough.\u201d So, yes, I\u2019m beginning to see this daily effect of using the Elixir.\u2019<\/p>\n

How to use Take Back Time Elixir<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in incorporating Take Back Time Elixir into your own regime, know it\u2019s been created as the hydrating third layer in a skincare sandwich. If serum is the key filling, then the Take Back Time Elixir is the nourishing drizzle of dressing (if that\u2019s not too odd an analogy). Essentially it\u2019s: cleanser<\/a>, serum<\/a>, elixir and SPF<\/a> by day, then cleanser + exfoliant at night, followed by serum, elixir and night cream. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve tried it ourselves, and while the texture is very light to the point of feeling watery, the immediate skin-drink effect is anything but weak. It\u2019s definitely a good one to try if your skin is thirsty and dull-looking \u2013 two things that often go hand in hand. <\/p>\n

And if we have a particularly punishing facial in the diary, we\u2019ll keep on it on standby, for sure.<\/p>\n
