The Ten-Minute Face Massage
A few strokes in the evening to ease tension and wake tired skin. Most of it comes down to knowing your own skin, and being patient with it.
Patch-test anything new
A dab behind the ear or on the inner arm, left for a day, tells you whether a new product agrees with you before it goes anywhere near your face.
Sunscreen every morning
Daylight ages skin faster than anything else, even through a window and even in winter. A broad-spectrum SPF is the last step of every morning routine.
