Routine extras

Exfoliating will give you glowing, more even-looking skin, but since you are removing the top layer of dead skin cells, revealing fresh and more delicate skin beneath, it’s vital to leave this until evening, immediately after cleansing.

We recommend Philosophy Microdelivery Resurfacing Solution, £28, John Lewis, two or three times a week. For an extra slurp of hydration, add in a mask twice weekly. Masks are best applied after toner, before the rest of your evening skincare regime. Use Garnier Moisture Bomb Lavender Sheet Mask, £2.99, to unwind after a hard day and drench skin with a whole bottle’s worth of serum.
