5 Steps to a radiant complexion

Up the ante on your skincare with these visage-boosting picks

It can be all too easy to get into a skincare rut, where we reach for the same products morning and night, convinced that they’re doing the best for us. However, if you’ve noticed that your skin is looking tired lately or your complexion dull, perhaps it’s time to shake up your skincare with some new products that draw from nature’s store cupboard to bring you innovative blends and tried-and-tested combinations that will rejuvenate your complexion. Whether you add one of these products to your regime, or try a new approach to your skincare altogether, this selection of powerhouse products all boast skin-loving ingredients that promise to enliven and refresh your visage.

Step 1: Cleanse

Cleansing is the first step in any skincare routine, and where better to start than with this cleansing oil from Mel Millis. A gentle product enriched with key vitamins and apricot, avocado and camellia oils, this product promises to purify the skin and clear it of pollutants and dirt, leaving your visage uplifted and revitalised.

Step 2: Moisturise

Rich in avocado, this light face cream renews tired-looking skin to create a healthy, plump complexion. Harnessing the antibacterial properties of manuka oil, the moisturiser also helps fight unwanted blemishes, while the heavenly scent of sweet almond adds an even more luxurious touch to your morning skincare routine.

Step 3: Apply serum

Massage a few drops of this complexion-boosting serum into your face after your moisturiser to lock in all the goodness with its blend of rosehip oil, pomegranate and sea buckthorn. Plant polyphenols add a natural glow to your complexion – boost your skin’s moisture throughout the day with a couple of drops to top up your radiance.

Step 4: Exfoliate

Exfoliators don’t need to be harsh or astringent to scrub away dead skin cells and impurities that dull your complexion. This product utilises chamomile stamens to gently buff the skin while rose, vanilla, jojoba, calendula and coconut oils combine to nourish and soften, leaving your skin clear, clean and refreshed.

If you’re short on time, you don’t need to compromise on results. This triple-action face mask boasts an impressive blend of five herbal extracts which cleanse, exfoliate and moisturise in one minute for a renewed, healthy complexion.
