Your 5-step spring skincare routine
1. Cleanser
Washing your face when you wake is essential, as it removes the build-up of bacteria and dead skin cells accumulated through the night, as well as perfectly priming your skin for products, allowing them to be as effective as possible. However your skin feels first thing in the morning, there’s a texture and hero ingredient for everyone.
Normal to dry skin – try a hydrating gel cleanser with hyaluronic acid and ceramides to protect and nourish – we love CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser for Normal to Dry Skin, £10.

Sensitive skin – try gentle formulas and avoid heavy fragrance or essential oils. La Roche-Posay Effaclar H Cleansing Cream, £14, has been created to soothe discomfort or sensitivity with shea butter and niacinamide. The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser, £5.50 is also a great all-rounder and feels far superior to its price point.

The modern vitamin C formulas are fast absorbing and easy to apply, so won’t tamper with your makeup or SPF application. We rate these three:
