Best... LIP BALM

La Mer The Lip Balm, £65, cremedelamer.co.uk

OK, so I'm aware that £65 is a lot of money for a lip balm... but this being the best is a hill I am prepared to die on. Thick, waxy, long-lasting and incredibly nourishing.

Best... EXFOLIANT

Pixi Glow Tonic, from £10, lookfantastic.com

This AHA liquid exfoliant has spawned so many dupes yet remains the best in the biz. It contains glycolic acid, which gently dissolves dulling dead skin cells and reveals some much-needed radiance.

Best... EYE CREAM

Skin Ceuticals A.G.E. Advanced Eye For Dark Circles, £105, skinceuticals.co.uk
