“Stop taking good skin for granted. As someone who favours less over more and has essentially fairly good skin, Lisa informed me that I’m probably taking my skin for granted rather than doing a few small things to make it look its best. She has told me to not ignore what my skin is trying to tell me. As the largest organ in the body, it needs to be fed in the same way that you would feed your stomach or brain! So if it’s dry or I sense my dairy intolerance flaring up in forehead spots, listen to it.”
“Don’t choose products based on scent. She could tell I liked scientifically led products and favoured lighter-weight formulas rather than anything too heavy, but the problem is that I’m just choosing things because of the smell rather than the effect or performance of them.”
“Stop switching up your products. I’m chopping and changing my products too much—I should try to stick to a couple of simpler, effective products (she gave me her bioactive Anti-Pollution Cleanser and Luminescent Base to use alongside a toner and an eye cream of my own) and use them for a longer period of time. It’s better to start with less, see if any problems occur and then treat from there.
“The cleanser will apparently help with my pore size (they’re too big, I think). I am to use it on both my face and neck to keep the skin consistent throughout, using more in the evening to clean off the day’s grime and makeup (using a clean muslin each time and with tepid water). I have some underlying redness which will also be eased up by these cosmeceutical creations!”
“Stop skipping exfoliator. For my skin type, I need to exfoliate every two to three days. Lisa would normally recommend a facial per month, but knowing I’m low maintenance, she has suggested per quarter instead.”
