Fab at-home facials

If you haven't got the time, money or energy to visit a dermatologist, try treating your skin in-house. For a radiant look and smoother feel, try these DIY facials…

I can’t say that having a professional chemical peel or microdermabrasion treatment has ever appealed to me – who wants to look like they’ve been caught on a sandy beach in January? However, the at-home versions are definitely worth a whirl. They get rid of a whole layer of dead skin and make your face look radiant and feel much smoother. Just remember, though, to apply a high SPF moisturiser afterwards to protect the new skin from any harmful rays.

L’Occitane Immortelle Very Precious Fluid SPF40, £30 for 50ml, is a light moisturiser that protects skin from UVB and UVA rays. Clinique Turnaround 15-Minute Facial, £25 for 50ml, contains salicylic acid and chestnut extract, which speed up the skin’s exfoliation process, getting rid of dead layers of skin.
No7 Advanced Renewal Anti-Ageing Glycolic Peel, £16, stimulates cell renewal, improving the appearance of lines and skin tone.
