The foot fixer

Think Margaret

Dabbs, think fabulous feet. As London’s top podiatrist, she has become the last word in healthy but luxurious foot care. Her signature treatment is the Medical Pedicure, £85, margaretda­bbs.co.uk. It’s not cheap, but a 45-minute session removes all traces of dry, dead skin and shapes and buffs the nails back to their beautiful best.

Genius buy: Dabbs collaborat­es on an M&S range called Bare Feet. If you buy one thing, make

it the Conditioni­ng Foot Cream,

£7.50, which easily soaks into soles without a tacky feeling. It’s blended with ginger and Manuka honey for a healthy hit of hydration. Apply every day all over your feet and nails.

The youth-booster

Having treated more than 50,000 patients, Dr.

Murad knows exactly what skin needs to feel and look younger. He takes a 360° approach to anti-ageing, so as well as using topical products, he believes we should ‘eat’ our way to youngerloo­king skin with a diet high in water-rich fruit and veg, such as cucumbers and tomatoes.

Genius buy: The vitamin retinol is the gold standard of anti-ageing, but it can be harsh on sensitive

complexion­s. Instead, Murad Retinol youth Renewal serum, £65,

John Lewis, uses three types of retinol – a fast-acting one, a slow-release one and a booster – to work gently on the skin without overpoweri­ng it. Lines appear plumped out pretty quickly, and you’ll notice firmer skin over time.

The glow-getter

As the go-to spray tan artist for models and celebritie­s, James

Read is synonymous with beautifull­y bronzed skin. Now he has set his sights on your at-home tan regime with his very own tanning collection. The idea self-tan is orange, streaky and dehydratin­g is outdated, according to James. His at-home bronzers promise effortless applicatio­n and a flawless finish.

Genius buy: James Read Gradual

Tan H20 Tan Mist, £20, M&s, offers all the cooling refreshmen­t of a moisturisi­ng facial spritz with added bronzing benefits. The colour builds up gradually – great for fake tan first-timers – to you end up with a healthy looking glow. Use it every day to gradually develop the colour, and your face will reap the rewards of rose water and coconut oil, which minimise puffiness and nourish skin.
