Okay, you're off to a desert island and can only take 1 skincare/cosmetic product...tell me what you'd take...

[BabyValentine]

I have been good all year and Father Christmas has promised to save my skin (early 30s, combination, prone to hormonal outbreaks), what is your never-do-without product?

decleor hydra floral face cream. i have used lots of other sorts nad always come back to this

A bloody good sunscrean.

Or Estee Lauder Night Renewal Serum and some Revelation Day Cream - if you are just talking about something for your skin on a day to day basis and you don't live on a desert island!

On a desert island?

Vaseline lip balm

Duac, prescribed by doctor for my skin, I put it on when i'm due on and it keeps spots at bay if i forget then i egt an outbreak but it does make them heal quicker imo.

Camellia oil. Get it from Culpepers. Brilliant for combination skin, pure and unadulterated, much better for your skin than those over-perfumed creams. Now my skin's as soft as my baby's .

moisteriser (st ives)

MD formulations antioxidant moisturiser.

desert island - sun cream

for xmas.... i would buy soemthing far more exciting than skin care products

chocolate

Complete sunblock!

Otherwise, I'd bring a lovely moisturiser with an SPF - Clinique 'Superdefense', maybe.

Okay, okay, forget about the desert island - more of an overcrowded, maritime climate island ditinctly lacking in palm trees - what's your best beautifying miracle?

or even distinctly

Apart from the obvious suncream, vaseline. Not 'big' on cosmetics etc.

Dr Andrew Weils mega mushroom collection from Origins.

Or jo malone face cream with ginseng or MD when in fear of spots! I am a bit fickle.

Clinique dramaticaly different moisturiser - my mother (82) and I have both used it constantly for 25 years each and are utterly convinced it has worked miracles on our skin - both had combination sensitive skin and now both feel pretty pleased with how our skin is.

Dior HydrAction Visible Defence Light cream (moisturiser).

Pricey at almost £40 but worth every penny for my spot prone but sensitive skin.
