The trend for minimal beauty is all well and good if you have great skin. But anyone who suffers acne, sensitivity, dryness and ageing issues will know only too well that a routine is vital to keep skin happy and healthy.

I have always believed in finding the right products and the right routine for YOU. It’s not a one-size fits all regime, but one that targets your specific concern so you can maintain a healthy, radiant complexion.

BENEFITS OF A FIVE-STEP ROUTINE:

• By taking ten minutes each morning and evening you’re not only treating your skin but treating yourself to some precious “me” time.
• Learning how to look after your complexion means you can face each day with confidence.
• Creating a routine gives you focus, lowers stress levels and helps you relax.
• By continuing consistency, your products have time to work properly and you will get the results you want.
• It's never too late to start - the sooner you do, the more benefits you'll see.

HEAVEN’S PERFECT SKIN REGIME:

Cleanse … the essential first step to remove make-up, dead cells, oil and daily pollutants to unclog pores and prevent breakouts. Soak your face with warm water (make sure it’s not too hot as this can dehydrate your skin and damage sensitive areas) before applying a small amount of cleanser. Gently massage in a circular motion, avoiding the eye area, for between 30-60 seconds. Rinse thoroughly and pat, not rub, your face dry with a clean, soft towel.

Exfoliate … your skin is constantly shedding dead skin cells to make way for new ones. As we get older this process begins to slow down so it’s important to give Mother Nature a helping hand. An exfoliator helps scuff away the dead cells and clears pores to leave your complexion looking more radiant and feeling healthier.

Tone … Toners are designed to restore your natural pH balance as well as remove leftover makeup and impurities, flush out pores and reduce breakouts. Choose one that is suitable for your skin type for maximum hydration, and use after your cleanser and exfoliator and before moisturising.

Serum … Serums penetrate deeper than a moisturiser, due to them having smaller molecules, so they deliver a potent shot of ingredients directly into your skin. They're a great investment too; because they are concentrated you only need a small amount and you’ll find a few drops go a long way.

Moisturise … Because the skin on your face is thinner than anywhere else on your body it can become dehydrated; by not keeping skin moisturised it can quickly show early signs of ageing. Don’t make the mistake of only applying moisturiser when your skin feels dry – you should be applying it every day, morning and night.
