Cabinet reshuffle

Separate the must-buys from the no-needs with a routine reset

Take away harsh scrubs

However satisfyingly scrubby they may feel, a scratchy, granular exfoliator can cause teeny-tiny micro tears on the surface of your skin and leave your skin barrier compromised. Switch to a chemical exfoliator like PS... Skin Exfoliating Facial Toner, £3.50, Primark, which gently sweeps away dead skin and pore-clogging debris. Splash it on a cotton pad and sweep over clean skin a couple of times a week to keep everything fresh, soft and bright.

Take away neck cream

The neck is one of those neglected areas that immediately gives the age game away. The secret to delaying the onset of horizontal creases and crepey skin is dedicating the same care and attention below the chin as you do your face, which doesn't necessarily mean you have to spend money on a targeted treatment. Any good anti-ageing serum and moisturiser will do the trick. Aveeno Age Renewal Face Serum, £24.99, Boots, is light, silky and gentle for this delicate area, tackling familiar neck-prone problems like wrinkles, lack of firmness and dark spots. Extend your daily skincare beyond the jawline to cover the neck and décolletage.
