At this age it’s all about laying down the foundations for the future and getting into the habit of an effective twice-daily routine, first thing in the morning and before bedtime. You can start to introduce more “grown-up” preventative products that can ease those first signs of ageing. These are designed to help boost skin renewal and collagen which in the long-term means you’ll skin will continue to look its best.
Cream cleansers are softer on your skin because they tackle dirt, grime and pollutants with emollients rather than heavier exfoliants. My silky soft Hydro Cleansing Milk hydrates while deeply cleansing, helping to balance and condition skin. It’s easy to use, simply apply to face and neck in the morning and night and massage in a circular motion to remove dirt and boost collagen production. Leave on for five minutes if needed before rinsing with warm water.
If you suffered acne during your teens you may be left with some scarring; this is problematic because the skin becomes weak and new spots can easily form. My Bee Polish is a non-abrasive exfoliator that helps ease the appearance of scars and lighten pigmentation while extracting toxins without harming the outer layer of the skin. It boosts immunity, thanks to its Echinacea content, making it great for those with irritation and sensitivity.
I created my Youthful Moisturiser to bring all skin types, even the most sensitive, back to a state of equilibrium. It may feel light on the skin but don’t let that fool you – this long-lasting cream, non-greasy cream is great for those who suffer from blackheads and enlarged pores, and the addition of St John’s wort oil acts as a calming antiseptic.
