AlumierMD
EverActive C&E, £150
This is the most
optimally active
vitamin C and E
serum on the market.
It stays fresh from
the moment you
open it until you use
the very last drop.
ZO Skin Health
Smart Tone Broad-
Spectrum Sunscreen
SPF50, £56.66
This brilliant skin
protector has anti-
redness properties
and is sweat-proof,
so it’s great for
sweeping on before
outdoor activities.
It also provides
additional protection
against the high-
energy visible light
(HEV) emitted from
your phone and
computer. It’s non-
greasy and absorbs
quickly with a sheer
matte finish.
ZO Skin Health Daily
Power Defense,
£112.46
This serum firms,
tightens and combats
free-radical damage
with antioxidant
protection. I love this
product because it
hydrates but feels
really light on the
skin. Since I’ve been
using it, my skin looks
so much plumper.
Teoxane Advanced
Filler Derma-
Restructuring Anti-
Wrinkle Cream, £83
This is a favourite
because it’s made
up of a restructuring
complex that boosts
the synthesis of
hyaluronic acid and
collagen deep inside
the skin to recreate
its tissue from inside
and fill wrinkles in.
SkinCeuticals
Glycolic 10 Renew
Overnight, £80
This treatment contains
10% glycolic acid to
promote cellular
turnover for a glowing
complexion. I have
sensitive skin so I
was reluctant to try
it. I felt tingling, but
the next morning, my
skin looked clear and
bright. Now I don’t
even use foundation.
SkinCeuticals
Hydrating B5, £65
Enriched with vitamin
B5, this replenishes the
nutrients skin needs
to feel smooth and
appear younger, and
contains hyaluronic
acid to help bind
moisture to the skin.
I’ve been using it for
10 years and it’s a
product I recommend
to my patients, as it
provides optimal
hydration without
clogging pores.

A typical day: I
apply my skincare
products as soon
as I wake up, then
get ready for work.
My day starts
at 10am and,
depending on the
day, I’ll go to one
clinic or another.
I try to spend as
much time as I can with patients,
educating them on any aesthetic
treatments they may want to have.
Skincare philosophy: I’m all about
prevention. Good skincare attuned
to your skin’s needs will keep it
clear, hydrated and radiant.
Skincare non-negotiable:
Sunscreen. And sleeping on a
silk pillowcase.
Main skincare concern: Dry or
dehydrated skin.
