According
to experts, skin has become ever grubbier thanks to the environment becoming
dirtier. For skin to able to function properly , and therefore to look its
best, layers of pollution, long-lasting make-up and the skin’s own sebum needs
to be removed in order for those expensive anti-ageing products you splash out
on to work at their optimum.
I believe
good skin hygiene is your secret youth inducer. Sloppy cleansing makes for a
grey skin tone, blemishes and blackheads. My cleansing ‘wardrobe’ is bigger
than my make-up collection. Why? Because the more dewy your skin looks, the
more you can down-play your make-up if you so wish.
Two
products I’ve added to my cleansing arsenal is Origins Plantscription
Anti-ageing cleanser and treatment lotion. In true Origins style they use plant
extracts as their modern day pharmacy, and both contain the tongue twister,
angoeissus. A scared tree found in West Africa,
they’ve discovered that the extract of the bark has an excellent ability to
protect collagen and help boost skin’s natural production levels of a
glycoprotein called fibrillin. Cutting through the science, all you need to know
is it results in a firmer, more resilient, younger looking complexion.
I don’t
normally use toner, but I find the treatment lotion used post cleanser
gives my skin a nice clean sweep. When used together, they’ve been clinically
proven to preserve skin’s moisture barrier – and it’s true, my skin does look and
feel more hydrated, and therefore looks a little more bouncy and radiant. And
who doesn’t want to bank a bit of bounce? Remember, it’s something your
cleansing routine that needs to be addressed, not another layer of ‘miracle’
cream to make that small skin difference.

Plantscription Anti-aging cleanser and treatment lotion, both £25.
