A deep cleansing facial is necessary once in a while as long as you don't have an important event the following week. My email is AshleyTerranova@gmail.com
A budget friendly facial is….sugar! Just mix with a little bit of water, so that is does not dissolve, and scrub away. I love it because my flatmate and I in college had low budgets, but still wanted awesome skin. james.e.michelle@gmail.com
I love the Dior Pro Youth Skin Sorbet and eye cream. They make my skin feel incredibly soft and it keeps moisturising all day long. Blinc mascara is another lifesaver, seriously waterproof, perfect for the beach. Kryszia xx krysziadenahlik@hotmail.com
I love anything that makes me tone and glow. I had a facial that passed electrical waves through my skin (a BIT of a scary concept) and the after effect was – quite simply – outstanding.
ALWAYS ensure that your therapist includes lymphatic drainage on the face as this works wonders and enhances your beautiful cheekbones.
I like to give myself a DIY facial massage with ESPA facial oils. The Regnerating one is my favourite, it smells divinely of jasmine and leaves my skin silky smooth and plumped up by morning time.
Also, NUDE eye cream – where would I be without this beauty saviour! Hydrates, rids me of puffy eyes and dark circles, and is excellent under make-up.
I love a great facial. One of my favorites is the Elemental Nature facial from Aveda. They customize your facial based on what your skin needs and use essential oils for those needs. Not only does you skin look and feel amazing, the aromatherapy does wonders.
I get a facial with each new season change (although in London it doesn't feel like we have more than 2 seasons!) My at-home face products are Bliss daily face wash and Kiehls moisturizing products. I have found that you don't have to spend a fortune on your products, but you can't go cheap. Email: annetaite@gmail.com
I love the all natural Nude Skincare range (started by Ali Huson, wife on Bono from U2) – Their Advanced Eye Complex works like magic getting rid of puffiness and bags after a late night partying or being up at night with the little ones.
I love any Methode Physiodermie skincare product – my favorites are the pH Balancing Toner and Moisturizer. Although a bit pricey, each product plays an essential role in my daily skincare routine. I always stock up at my local skincare salon when I am home in Northern California!
Makeup removing wipes! I especially like the Simple brand – you can get it at Boots – but really any will do. I constantly have a pack in my purse. I always seem to end up with mascara down my cheeks by the end of the day 🙁
My favourite treatment is a salon facial. Every time I have one I promise to give myslef one at home every week, but I never seem to be able to make time for it.

I love Origins products – they feel great and I love the philosophy behind the brand. If you need a quick facial to look great for later that night, stop by one of their counters for a quick 20-30 minute facial which has a fee that's applicable to buying a product or two at the end. I use the “Never a Dull Moment” scrub a few times a week and “Plantidote” mushroom nightly.
When I was ten years old, I suffered from severe dry skin. My dermatologist recommended that I use Centaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser morning and night followed by different lotions depending on the time of day (Morning – Centaphil Moisturizing “Lotion” plus Eucerin's facial sunscreen SPF 30) and (Evening – Clinique Clarifying Lotion 1 plus Moisturizing “Cream”). For the past twenty years I've been following his regiment and my skin feels amazing – no wrinkles and no blemishes. I've sometimes tried the ultra-expensive products wondering if I was missing out but nothing compares. I even remember Oprah asking Cindy Crawford what product she uses and I was elated to find out she uses Centaphil too!
I am a huge fan of Liz Earle's products. Especially the Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser. The muslin cloths are amazing and leave your skin feeling really smooth and clean. They have a travel size bottle which I take every time I have a work trip. My email is fmdemartino@gmail.com
I love the deramlogica range, especially the recovery mask which if you leave on overnight is extra amazing! I also like to take it to the gym and put it on in the steam room – this does mean that I look weird and orange but it really helps with dull dry skin from our fabulous weather and hard water! Email : juliarosekent@me.com. I also take the eve lom travel kit with me when I go away you can give yourself a mini facial on the plane! J x
I am hopeful the Environ facial at Sactuary spa I'm scheduled for next week is my new favorite! I'm super excited about the treatment and skin camera, I can't wait to see what it says about my years of living at the pool with no SPF. My 2 all-time favorite cleansers are Cetaphil and Chantecaille Rice and Geranium, different ends of the spectrum, but love them both! lyndseyosgood@yahoo.com.
My favourite product is the Elemis Pro-Collagen Quartz Lift Mask, but instead of using it as a mask I use it as a night cream. My skin never fails to feel smooth and hydrated the next morning. Thanks Carla (carlahunn@gmail.com)
What a great giveaway! My favourite product is Avene Cold Cream Ultra-Rich Cleansing Gel…it smells slightly funny but it is super gentle and removes every speck of make-up. My skin went a bit crazy after a few years of London water and this helped calm it down again.
My new fav for summer is Kiehl's Super Fluid UV Defense SPF 50. Can't beat that in a daily moisturizer and completely non-greasy. Kara – karajstout@gmail.com
I love the Oxygen facial at Bliss Spa. Its great.

Keep up the good work AG.

My favorite is the Mary Kay satin hands kit. It's quick and easy, and makes your hands feel amazing!

I love Olay Definity Eye Illuminator because it gets rid of dark circles and also fights wrinkles- and it's never too early for that!

I would recommend ProActiv for acne prone skin.

I am using the Elemis Daily Facial Wash.
There's hardly any 'gunk' when you foam up & it never leaves my skin parched & dry after use
