“A comprehensive skincare routine revolves around five fundamental steps, each playing a crucial role in nurturing and maintaining healthy skin,” says Anderson.

“Cleansing lays the foundation by effectively removing impurities, excess oil and makeup, ensuring a clean canvas for subsequent products. Following this with an essence provides a lightweight, hydrating layer that preps the skin, enhancing its ability to absorb anything layered on top.

“Targeting the delicate eye area with specifically formulated eye products comes next. This step addresses concerns like puffiness, dark circles and fine lines. Serums, rich in potent active ingredients, penetrate deeply to tackle specific skin issues, whether it’s brightening, firming or addressing hyperpigmentation.

“Finally, moisturisers help to seal in all the actives you’ve applied, protect against external aggressors and lock in hydration. They work to fortify the skin barrier, creating a protective layer that’s essential for maintaining a youthful and radiant complexion. I also recommend using a retinol oil 2-3 times per week to accelerate cell turnover, improve the appearance of fine lines and even out skin tone.

“Your morning and nighttime skincare routines should differ to cater to the unique needs of your skin during each time of day,” Anderson continues.

“In the morning, focus on protecting and preparing your skin for the day ahead. We recommend opting for products with a lighter texture, like our Day Cream NAC Y²™, and always include an SPF.

“Your nighttime routine is geared towards repair and rejuvenation, so this is when you can incorporate richer products like Repair Night Cream NAC Y²™ to deeply nourish the skin. Retinol should always be applied at nighttime.”
