Ultimate Recovery™

£39 | Medik8

This is the product I always come back to when my skin feels dry, sensitised or in need of a reset. It’s rich and comforting without feeling greasy or suffocating. I use it at night as the final step in my routine, or in the morning for an extra layer when my skin feels particularly dry. It gives my complexion a lovely, healthy glow.

Zero Pore Pad 2.0

£18 | Medicube

Medicube is one of my favourite skincare brands right now and these pads are such an easy addition to any routine. They’re great when your complexion looks a little textured or congested. I use one after cleansing, focusing on areas where my pores look more visible. I love how they leave my skin feeling and looking smoother straight away. I don’t think anyone should overdo exfoliation but these pads make it easy to keep things gentle, while soothing any sensitivity at the same time.

Flush Balm Cheek Color

£26 | MERIT Beauty

I always want my make-up to look like skin, and this blusher from Merit gives it a juicy glow that still looks natural. It leaves behind a soft, fresh flush and blends in easily, whether you use your fingers or a brush. I like to scribble it straight onto my skin, then tap it in with my fingers for a flawless finish. I also dab a little on my lips to tie the look together.

Tightening Detox Mask

£55 | Dr. Loretta

When my skin needs a quick pick-me-up, this is the answer. I use it when my complexion looks dull and needs a boost. It feels hydrating and refreshing, which is rare for a detox mask – they can often leave skin feeling tight and stripped of moisture. This one does the opposite. I often leave it on overnight and, by morning, my skin looks completely renewed, with a little extra bounce and suppleness.

Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon

£27 | ILIA Beauty

I use this as a lip liner but also on my eyes, as the formula is so soft and creamy. There are plenty of shades to choose from but Rich Brown is my go-to. I like to run a little along my lash line, flick it out at the edges, then buff it out with my fingers or a brush. The brown shade is much more forgiving than black.

The Body Wash

£25 | Nécessaire

After a long day with my toddler, I like to switch off and unwind in the shower. My routine is never complete without this wash from Nécessaire. The eucalyptus scent is so uplifting and clears my head – just what I need when I feel drained. Unlike some body washes, its scent lingers on the skin, leaving me feeling clean and refreshed for hours.

Jet Lag Eye Patches

£25 | Summer Fridays

When I look tired or run down, I reach for these hydrating eye patches. I love using them before an event or while I’m travelling. I leave them on as I get ready, letting the nourishing formula, which is full of hyaluronic acid and plumping peptides, work its magic. Once I remove them, my under-eye area looks smoother and brighter, which helps my concealer sit better. They’re full of serum, so you really get bang for your buck.
