I DON’T FEEL GUILTY — I’M WORTH EVERY PENNY

TOTAL: £2,710

Clemmie angus, 34, works for a contemporary art fair. she lives in West london with her partner and is expecting her first baby in July. I DIDN’T think twice about my skincare until I reached the age of 30 and saw my first line. Up to that point I was all about leaving my eye make-up on overnight.

Suddenly, my mother’s advice about make-up removal and rubbing cream into your neck started to make sense, and I’ve been diligent ever since.

That’s also the point at which I started to invest in skincare and luxurious hair and body products. Is it worth it? Yes, I think so. I travel a great deal, and have just got back from three months in Hong Kong. The air pollution and air conditioning can wreak havoc on your skin, but my trusty serums served me well.

I don’t feel any guilt about what I spend on my beauty routine — I deserve it. But I am sure that when my baby comes along I’ll splash out on him or her instead.
