YOUR BEST SKIN

Time-poor or not, with a good skincare routine your skin will glow

Your skin is the largest organ of your body, and it does change with age, but when it comes to skincare, the essentials stay the same. So stick with them, add in one or two vitamin boosters suited to you, and your skin will always look and feel fresh.

BACK TO BASICS

Everyone's skin has the same primary needs cleansing, hydration and protection. However, depending on your skin type and the condition of it, which can change with hormones, age and environmental factors, your skin will respond best to the products targeted to your specific skin type and concerns.

SHORT AND SWEET

Having a daily skincare routine maintains skin health, so if you're running late or super tired, take this no-frills approach.

MORNING SHIFT

Rinse your face with lukewarm water or use a micellar water to remove products from the night before. Follow with sunscreen or tinted moisturiser.

NIGHT SHIFT

Cleanse your skin of makeup, daily moisturiser, grime and sunscreen. Follow with a product best suited to your skin, such as a leave-on mask, cream or serum.

CORRECTIVE ACTION

How you treat your skin matters. Is your skin feeling dry and tight? Your cleanser may be too harsh or you might not be using enough moisturiser. Has your skin become irritated since introducing a new product? Reduce it to only a couple of times a week, then slowly increase use.
