BEST FACE FORWARD

The beauty routines, and buys, that help keep Millie looking this fresh

-

SIMPLIFY

When Sienna was younger, some days I’d get to lunchtime and realise I hadn’t even brushed my teeth or washed my face – and even now I don’t try to maintain an elaborate skincare routine. Each morning, I cleanse, use a serum, moisturise and apply SPF. Even in the winter, or on a grey day, it’s important to me that I have that protection; Heliocare 360° Gel Oil-free Sunscreen SPF50 is my go-to. I love Barbara Sturm’s whole line – simple formulatio­ns that focus on hydration – and her The Good C Vitamin C Serum has really helped brighten my skin.

CLEAR

I cleanse in the evenings first with an Eve Lom balm cleanser, then a gentle foaming one by Dr Barbara Sturm to ensure I get everything off. I’ve been struggling lately with maskne – those little spots on the lower half of your face – which means my spot gels have been put through their paces; my favourite is the Acclenz Advanced Action Spot Gel by UK dermatolog­ist Dr Nick Lowe.

SOOTHE

With all the hormonal changes my body’s been through recently, I’ve noticed more redness and sensitivit­y in my skin, so I’m careful not to exfoliate with anything too harsh. I don’t use a retinol right now, either, but I’ve added Obagi Nu-derm Exfoderm Skin Smoothing Lotion to my arsenal recently, which smooths the skin and helps get rid of dead skin cells.

NOURISH

I’m excited to get a face massage at Facegym and a Hydrafacia­l at London’s D.thomas Clinic once they reopen. In lockdown, I’ve aimed to use a face mask a couple of times a week to give my skin a little extra love at home. When I get a rare bath time to myself, I love applying Lancôme Advanced Génifique Hydrogel Melting Mask and leaving it on while I soak.
