Cream cleansers make light work of lifting make-up and impurities, and are ideal for use at night. Massage into the skin in small circular motions, and leave for a few seconds to dissolve impurities. Remove with damp cotton wool or moistened sponge.

Wash-off cleansers or pH-balanced soaps are ideal for use in the bath or shower. Together with facial cleansing brushes, these allow you to exfoliate and cleanse in one go.

Night creams are good investments when the skin’s recuperative powers are at their height – from 23.00 to 01:00. They contain special ingredients to help the skin recover.

Moisturizers used daily are essential for all skin types. Look for formulations that contain a sunscreen, as well as antioxidants to prevent premature ageing, and sufficient hydration to suit your skin type.

Eye make-up removers are essential for cleansing the delicate eye area. Don’t think you can use normal cleansers in this area – look for a gentler formulation, ideally containing no oil or fragrance. Work gently from the outer corner of the eye, taking care not to drag or pull the skin.
