As a beauty editor I have spent years trying to perfect my skincare routine. I'm not saying I've achieved this, in fact every day I learn something new about my skin and its needs, but I have spent a lot of time over the past 10 years fine tuning my product choices and finding out which textures, formulas and ingredients work best for me.
It hasn't always been this way, I used to be terrible with my skin, particularly in my early 20s. I would often go to sleep in a full face of make-up (I was too busy partying to concern myself with the benefits of double cleansing) and used to use whatever was cheapest on the shelves at Boots. But now that I have years of industry knowledge under my belt, I know what works and what doesn't. For example, I know that I have dry and dehydrated skin, so my skin lacks both oil and water and I need my routine to reflect both of those needs. I'm also well into my 30s, so the early signs of ageing aren't so early anymore and I've got two kids, so of course my skin reflects everything that comes with having young children.
