Body Bits - would you spend £342 on a face cream?

IT’S a question I’d usually answer with haughty derision and a dirty look. Would I spend over £300 on a face cream? No chance. Though, in a time where botox is casually offered out at the dentist, more targeted and less invasive anti-ageing prevention is becoming increasingly sought-after.

This month, we’ve been lucky to get our hands on such a product by luxury anti-ageing skincare brand, La Prairie. Sold in Selfridges, the brand's ‘white caviar’ range is specially formulated to fight signs of ageing while brightening and evening out skin tone – all for the hefty fee of £342 (it does contain caviar after all).

But does the old adage ‘you get what you pay for’ really ring true when it comes to skincare? 

For our first filmed edition of Body Bits, L’Oréal Blackett talks expensive taste and a cheerfully cheap moisturiser which boasts Adele, Victoria Beckham and Rihanna as fans.
