Great skin day, every day

GOODBYE PUFFY EYES

If you usually... apply eye cream before bed. Now try… applying it in the morning. ‘While we sleep, creams can sit in the skin around our eyes because our eyelids are closed, which can make you look tired when you wake up,’ says facialist Abigail James. Prima loves... Nspa Daily Perfecting Eye Cream, £8.

IMPROVE YOUR CLEANSING

If you usually… do a quick clean at the basin. Now try… applying a layer of cleanser and sitting in a warm bath for five minutes before removing it, advises facialist Sarah Chapman. ‘The steam opens pores and allows the ingredients to penetrate deeper.’ Prima loves…

Pixi In-shower Steam Facial, £18.

RETHINK SHEET MASKS

If you usually… use a sheet

mask and go. Now try… exfoliating first. Gentle face scrubs are fabulous for sloughing away dead skin cells but for the ultimate glow-up, top with a soothing sheet mask to calm down any redness and boost moisture levels. Prima loves… Garnier Skinactive Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask, £2.99.

DON’T NEGLECT YOUR NECK!

If you usually… only apply skincare on your face. Now try... ‘Taking your skincare products all the way down to your neck and décolletage,’ says Megan Felton, co-founder of skincare consultancy Lion/ne. ‘Also remember to coat the backs of your hands, as this area is always exposed to the sun and quickly shows signs of premature ageing.’ Prima loves… Kiehl’s Calendula Serum-infused Water Cream, £39.

PRIMA TIP

‘Use vitamin C in the morning and retinol in the evening to avoid redness and sensitivity,’ says Mark Curry, co-founder of The Inkey List. TRY… The Inkey List Vitamin C Serum, £7.99.
