STEP 3 Serum

As the lightest, silkiest step in your skincare regime, serum should be the first thing you apply after cleansing and toning. Serums are filled with the most potent ingredients in tiny molecules that penetrate deep into the skin. Skin Proud Recharge Serum,

£13.95, Boots, is a great choice for any skin type, promising brighter, more even skin tone through a gentle blend of hyaluronic acid, rosehip oil and low-dosage retinol. Apply a 5p-size blob to your hands and massage into clean, dry skin.
