Audrey’s Top Six Essentials

Moisture, moisture, your skin can’t get enough of it – but these balms and gentle, nourishing products will help…

1. LIP ENHANCER A potent mix of botanicals in Algenist® Genius Liquid Collagen Lip £36, SpaceNK works to smooth the lips and fine lines around the mouth. Twist the top and massage in using the specially designed ceramic applicator. Tingles slightly at first but is very moisturising and should have an effect after 28 days.

4. CUSTOM BLEND If you’re not keen on foundation but feel you need some light coverage, you might like new No7 Match Made Custom Blend Foundation Drops £16, Boots (out September). Just add 1-3 drops of the concentrated colour to a blob of your moisturiser, blend in your hand and apply as usual.

2. FLOWER POWER The skin around our eyes is so delicate it needs a boost to stay supple. Peptide4 Eye Recovery Cream £38, ELEMIS.COM uses flower extracts and peptides to help reduce the appearance of dark circles. A little goes a long way; pat a tiny amount around the area for an instantly refreshing effect.

5. SKIN TRANSFORMER Cleansing balms are gentle but effective. Avon Anew Clean Transforming Cleansing Balm £7, AVON.UK.COM has a luxurious creaminess with a light floral scent. Rub a little between fingertips, massage into skin and splash with water, which turns it into a lotion. Wipe away with a damp cloth.

3. MOISTURISER PLUS New from moisturiser master Neutrogena is a wonderfully light moisturising balm, Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Whipped Body Balm £4.99, nationwide. The unusual formula feels like a cross between mousse and gel, is instantly soothing and keeps skin soft and supple all day. A hit!

6. BEE BEAUTIFUL Burt’s Bees lip colours are 100% natural, super moisturising and come in soft, flattering shades. For a sheer, moisturising tint try Gloss Lip Crayon £9.99, BURTSBEES.CO.UK – Pink Lagoon is a delicate pink. For more intense colour, Glossy Lipstick £9.99 in Pink Pool feels richer and creamier.
