skin in tip-top condition by cleansing,
toning and moisturising every morning
before applying makeup (it should go

your makeup on is a no-no). Exfoliation
to slough away dead cells and brighten
the complexion can be done at home,
or with micro-dermabrasion or a peel at
a salon to remove surface debris.
Improving the skin’s resistance to
pollution is the name of the game. Use
sun protection and a moisturiser rich
with ingredients to improve the skin’s
surface strength.
