"Step two is non-negotiable for me: it has to be a vitamin C, and you'll not be surprised to know that I use the gold standard, which is SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic. I know, I know, it's expensive. This is 15% L-ascorbic acid with ferulic acid and vitamin E. A lot of people don't like the smell; I've just got over it. I've used it since it was launched, it's probably 12 years now. I swear it's one of the reasons my pigmentation and my sun damage isn't as bad as it is, but I get that it's expensive. It's a pure L-ascorbic acid, so it's the active form of vitamin C, meaning your skin doesn't have to work hard to access what it needs. It gives you an antioxidant boost, boosts collagen production, protects your skin from pollution, and boosts the effect of your SPF. It's just clinically proven. Dr. Sheldon Pinnell was the person who started SkinCeuticals and did all the research on topical vitamin C and skin, and it's a gold standard for that reason."

"It's a pretty light cream, a little goes a long way. I would say it is lighter than C plus B5, also unfragranced and super hydrating. This is their hero product, SkinFix Barrier+, and it's gorgeous. If you're on a retinoid journey and you want something to buffer it out, this is perfect. I love the fact that it's in a pump action dosed little pot. Really nice range, I think well worth checking out."

"What's great about this product is that it doesn't sink into the wrinkles. It's got 1% hyaluronic acid in it. It's just a fantastic, really quick, easy to use foundation skincare product. I really rate this, it's major, it is brilliant. It's absolutely brilliant, it's such a good product. You can apply it the way you just apply skincare. You don't really need any skills, you don't need a brush, you don't need a sponge, you don't need a makeup artist. It's amazing. Using this little serum thing at night, it's perfect for me. It's easy, so that's perfect."

"My all-time favorite body lotion forever and ever is Eucerin, and it is important that I say it's the Advanced Repair. Now they've gotten cute and there's like ultimate repair and happy repair, but Advanced Repair with urea is the one to look for. I have the driest skin on God's Great Earth and this is like the triumphant of the Gods. This one I think is actually urea and glycerin because hello, this is brilliant. The thing about urea is what's amazing about it is that it really works as a humectant."

"Being someone with eczema, I have to moisturize twice a day otherwise my skin will go wild. I love La Roche-Posay Lipikar really, my like one of my favorite moisturizers, and I'll use it top to toe. I'll do that in the morning after I have a shower and I'll do it in the evening as well. I'll usually have a very short quick shower and then I'll apply it on slightly damp skin. You want to get them on and always go downwards, don't do lots of rubbing up and down because you might trap the hairs on your body and get little bumps everywhere throughout the day."

"The Ordinary also have a new moisturizer and I absolutely love the NMF. It's one of my go-to budget moisturizers, it's really lovely, super lightweight, goes in really easily, sinks into your skin in seconds, makes a great makeup base. There is now a Natural Moisturizing Factors and Beta Glucan, and beta glucan is a calming, soothing ingredient. In comparison to the original one, and I've been testing this for a few days, it is surprisingly a gel, and that will really shock you if you're used to the normal NMF. So it is super hydrating, goes on, slips over your skin beautifully, and I think is absolutely unique in texture. It's a jelly-like texture that is just so beautiful. This will suit summer skins so well. It's particularly suited to dehydrated, sensitive skin that don't necessarily want a heavy, oily occlusive moisturizer. It's just Heavenly. It will be the most perfect thing to take on holiday. It also sits under makeup, which is really rare for a gel. It doesn't pill, and I just think it's beautiful."

"I genuinely do love this moisturizer. It's Mineral 89, which is like their hero serum but in the cream form, so it goes on as a moisturizer. It's got niacinamide in it, a bit of squalene, lots of hydration. It's perfect for winter months or if you're just having a bit of a rough time through the winter where you just need a moisturizer, and maybe your sunscreen isn't moisturizing you enough. What I love about this moisturizer is you can use it morning and night, so you can sandwich it with a retinol."

"This is the Youth to the People kale and green tea spinach cleanser. It lathers in the nicest gentlest way. It smells like fresh spinach when you take it out of the garden and cut it, this really lovely very earthy kind of smell in a good way, and I just happen to love this. It's about 35 and it lasts until forever. This is a beautiful product, it really does a very nice job of almost like a hybrid, it will take off makeup but it also leaves your skin feeling nice."

"A more recent player in the game that I love also is Aveeno, specific to the Calm + Restore. Has feverfew, really well done feverfew, their process is really elegant. This is one of those examples where when people tell me you have to spend a lot of money on product, I like to just sort of wig this out and show them this. It does a great job of taking off makeup, breaking it down."

"I've fallen in love with this one, the Geek & Gorgeous Mighty Melt. I love this for summer because it's runnier than traditional waxy balm cleansers, which means it's lighter weight, which means it's much nicer when it's humid. Even though it's been raining in the UK it's been really hot and humid, and it gets rid of every scrap of makeup. I have to say Geek & Gorgeous, I've not put a foot wrong. I really love that product."

"This is the Dermatica Balancing Glycerin Gel Cleanser. This is absolutely like all of my favorite gel cleansers. This is more of a rich one so this might be nicer in summer. Go and check out the Dermatica range particularly if you're on any prescription skincare that could be for rosacea, it could be for acne, it could be for sun damage, it could be for a whole host of reasons, psoriasis, eczema, check out their supporting skincare, but also if you're a first-time retinal user as well."

"I like a gentle rinse off milky oil that I can shave with that will protect my skin will cleanse off SPF but won't dehydrate my skin but will leave it fresh and this is it, it's absolutely beautiful. This is Naturium Glow Getter Multi-Oil Body Wash and essentially it's an oil but it's a cleansing oil for the face, super light but actually rinses away to milk and just leaves the skin perfectly hydrated. It's loaded with glycerin and squalane but it's also got a super light oil to gel texture. I just love it, absolutely gorgeous."

"If you love The Crystal Retinol and I've been using it for quite a few years now I really love it, there is now a Crystal Retinol 24, obviously that's a play on the fact that it's 2024, but that is 0.24% retinaldehyde. Retinaldehyde as I've mentioned before is the next metabolic step, so retinol is metabolized to retinaldehyde, that then gets metabolized to retinoic acid which is the active form of vitamin A in the skin. This is the strongest one you can get in the UK."

"This is 0.2% retinal Emulsion and it's a retinoid and in my opinion it's the strongest and the best value for money retinoid that's currently available. Retinal is the next metabolic step on from retinol. Traditionally in skincare we had retinol esters, which your body then has to convert from a retinol ester to a retinol to a retinal to the active form of vitamin A in your skin called trans retinoic acid. Retinol esters are still available but retinol was a beauty buzz word probably about two or three years ago and then as you got used to working through retinol esters to retinol you wanted more, and that's where retinal comes in."

"I've been using it for a while now. It's great. The max hydration, I just think it's beautiful. It's the perfect weight, it's the perfect amount of moisture. It mixes beautifully with a touch of water, so if you don't want it as heavy, it's not heavy anyway, but it is a true traditional night experience. But it can be used on your hands, it could be used on a flight, it can be used before you go to work. I love this product and it's been around a long time."

"Hydration Vaccine is a really unique beautiful moisturizer and it's unlike most moisturizers I love in that it tends to be quite thick. What I love about it is it almost feels like a balm but it's got a soft focus effect on the skin. It does hydrate the surface of the skin, it's loaded with actives, but it's also got a silicon masking effect. It doesn't peel under makeup. It's beautifully under makeup. It's actually formulated to be a hydrator and an emollient but also a makeup primer."

"It's clear spackles, it's a silicon that basically fills in all of the imperfections for the face. The technology was originally created by Clinique with a product called pore minimizer, and there are about 15 similar products out there, but this just happens to be the nicest one I found. It lasts, it's a nice little tin. This is just a wonderful product. I have a ton of patients who are using this."

"The INKEY List have just gone into an SPF and I love this one, the Polyglutamic Dewy Sunscreen SPF 30. It's an SPF 30 so it's going to be an easier texture to formulate with. I'm choosing this because it's for those people who want a dewy finish because this is a much dewier finish. It's a beautiful moisturizer with a very slight sheen to it, really nicely formulated. It's about finding an SPF that you can afford that your skin really loves to protect you from pollution."

"Garnier this year have launched the Invisible Serum Super UV SPF 50 which I know what you're thinking oh it's a serum it'll be lighter somehow it's thicker though right. It takes a while to run down your hand that's how you can always tell and it's definitely definitely definitely a thicker richer consistency. It all goes on beautifully still sits well under makeup better for dryer skins or for me in winter."

"A little goes a long way so make sure you apply enough of it to get the allotted SPF. Mildly citrusy fragrance but not offensive for me and it does dissipate really quickly. You will put this on during the day in place of your moisturizer and even your essence really and even your hyaluronic acid. I would put my vitamin C on and go straight in with this over the summer when you're really busy and you want to leave the house. The SPF 50 I think is perfection."

"There's a new dual eye cream that's really exciting and interesting because it also takes away all the questions that I have, you know, when do I use this and when, like how do they pair, how do they marry, how does it work. So it takes care of a lot. It's convenient, the packaging is great, it's simple, you understand what it is that you are putting on your face. This fits in a purse. I use it when I'm working and when we do touch-ups. This is a product that's so friendly and helpful because it moves beautifully, it cleans up, it doesn't take everything away but it helps get everything sort of back in order and behaving. And it also has sunscreen."

"I have to say honestly, I did not expect to be impressed by a celebrity skincare line. If you've got teenage daughters, they should be buying Rhode. I think that this brand is so clever, it's barrier boosting, it's gentle, it's peptides, it's barrier protecting. I've not used a duff product, I love it, it's really nice. They are so good, this is the range your daughter should be using. The peptide lip treatment, I don't like the smell of them but I totally get why you love them. The Rhode Peptide Glazing Fluid is just a really beautiful lightweight gel cream with peptide and hyaluronic acid, super lightweight, lovely lovely."

"It looks like milk, it really does, and somehow as a spray it acts as basically also a primer. You do not need primer if you use this and it's incredible. It just leaves you really hydrated. I'm someone who in the course of the day on a dry day working indoors you can definitely see the edges of my skin if I'm wearing makeup, but it starts to dry. You can see it. Not with this. It just makes it all go bye-bye. Unbelievable. It's an amazing product."

"I absolutely love my Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer. I love it because I've been through so much with this. Maximum wind minimum heat, which means it maximizes the drying power but minimizes the damage. I've never found a dryer lighter, more effective, more powerful than this. When you go to the hairdresser and they're drying your scalp and you think that's got a bit too close, that's burning my scalp, but imagine what that's doing to your hair. Even though your hair is dead, it does burn and is damaged by heat. Never had that feeling with this ever. Maximum wind minimum heat to dry your hair effectively, and it smooths as well. I just absolutely love this product. Dyson have mastered the cyclone technology of wind because obviously they do all the vacuum cleaners as well. It is expensive, but to me it is unique for hair gadgets on the market."

"You basically use it on freshly cleansed skin. Most people use it at night just before they go to bed. You can see the pop in pop out eye protectors, so you actually don't get any infrared or any red light going near your eyes. It's really comfortable and comes in close contact with the skin. In 8 weeks, it's proven to reduce the signs of fine lines by 30%, increase plumpness by 57%. It boosts brightness. I think it's particularly good at reducing redness. It's a 10-minute treatment three to five times a week, but most people I know use it five to seven because they just love love love the results. You've got a 16-week money back guarantee and a 2-year warranty. It's FDA approved, cleared safe. It's a big investment at £399.99."
