5 Ways to up your protection game

Do these and your complexion will thank you for it.

Cleanse twice a day, every single day Whether you prefer a creamy wipe-off formula or a face wash, cleanse morning and night to tackle dirt and environmental toxins, and then apply a good moisturiser to keep skin protected and hydrated.

Apply an SPF Winter or summer, this is a key anti-ager, and you probably need more than you’re using – a teaspoon for your face and neck is the rule of thumb. Is there SPF in your foundation? That’s great – but it’s not enough.

Exfoliate regularly Use an exfoliating mask or specially formulated exfoliating cleanser once or twice a week to help keep your skin glowing, remove dead cells and ensure that moisturisers and serums absorb well.

Go big on antioxidants Antioxidants protect skin cells from damage and ageing, so get yours in two forms: via a daily serum, and in foods like blueberries, beans and nuts.

Drink plenty of water A glass when you wake up, before meals, after bathroom breaks and before bed will do the trick.
