10 products that will take your beauty routine to the next level

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant: Meet the powder-to-paste scrub that’s compact and effective. “This rice-based product activates upon contact with water, releasing papain (from pineapple), salicylic acid and rice enzymes to lightly polish and smooth the skin and accelerate cell renewal,” explains Emma Hobson, Education Manager for the International Dermal Institute and Dermalogica. A hot pick for getting glowing skin on the daily.

All your top eye concerns tackled in one tube; crow’s feet, dark circles, puffiness and signs of fatigue fade with the help of rejuvenating Juvefoxo, Neodermyl (which has been likened to a needle-free collagen and elastin filler) and diamond for a youthful appearance. Apply Dr. LeWinn’s Eternal Youth Day & Night Eye Cream with the cooling contoured massage applicator for maximum radiance. Bam!

Multitasking its way into your fuss-free routine, this Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation and Concealer (yep, two in one) feels lightweight on skin but delivers a full coverage natural matte finish. The clever breathable formula adapts to your skin, absorbing excess oil or adding hydration, depending on what your face needs. Flawless for 12 hours? Sign us up.

This Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Anti-Ageing Moisturiser Broad Spectrum SPF 15 incorporates retinoids, which dermatologist Dr Eleni Yiasemides says “are the most effective ingredient in any skin care regimen for anti-ageing, along with sun protection”. Plus, hyaluronic acid ensures this one protects and hydrates skin with each daily dose. Triple threat!

Dry shampoo = a busy girl’s lifesaver. And 
this one’s next level. Refreshing post-gym and day-old hair in seconds, Kevin.Murphy Fresh.Hair’s botanical-enriched formula doesn’t just soak up oil from hair, it also adds shine, volume and a subtle fragrance to mask
 a sweaty mess, fast!

Dubbed the ‘Little
 Black Bottle’ by the beauty circuit, one of these Lancôme Advanced Génifique Youth Activating Concentrate Serum miracle workers sells every 10 seconds. Probiotic fractions star 
in its potent formula – these naturally occurring micro-organisms help strengthen the skin’s barrier function and enhance hydration. The result? A healthy, smooth and youthful complexion delivered in every drop.

Pair this palm-sized brush with your favourite cleanser – Clarisonic Mia Fit Cleansing Device oscillates more than 300 movements per second, without harming your skin’s natural elasticity. In 60 seconds flat, it’ll get your skin up to six times cleaner than using hands alone. 
A gym bag essential.

This Kiehl’s Crème de Corps moisturiser is a cult favourite for a reason.

Bonus: the pump bottle means mega-quick application time.

One slick of this deep black shade of L’Oréal Paris Telescopic Carbon Black and your lashes seem to double in length. The ion fix technology ensures
 the formula sticks from root to tip for ultimate definition with minimum effort. Total winner!
