1. Start with a Serum

Instead of applying moisturiser as your first step after cleansing, begin your skincare routine with a fast-absorbing serum that will help the rest of your products sink in. This organic formula contains rosehip, calendula and jojoba oils to deeply replenish and soothe dry skin.

Not just a relaxing weekend activity, face masks are great for locking in moisture like nothing else. Avène’s soothing mask is suitable for even the most sensitive skin types. Simply apply a thick layer to your face and neck, and leave for around 10 to 15 minutes so it can work its magic.
