Line Busters

Around 80 per cent of ageing is due to unprotected sun exposure, say most dermatologists. So, if you've been lazy about slathering on a sun protection product, wise up to wrinkles now.

Daily sun protection is essential, so shield skin from harmful UV with Estee Lauder Daywear Plus SPF15.

Use antioxidants: They help protect the skin from molecular damage, which can lead to cancer and pigmentation. Try Prescriptives Super Line Preventor and Nivea Multiple Results.

Retinoid creams are really effective for correcting sun damage - they increase cell turnover and decrease fine lines and wrinkles. Turn back time with L'Oréal Dermo Expertise Revitalift Day cream and Clinique Advanced Stop Signs Eye.

Super Softners

When temperatures soar, air-conditioners at work create sub-Siberian atmosphere and moisture is sucked from your skin. Don't let flaky flaws spoil your sexy summer sheen, use skin softeners and milks to rehydrate.

Thirsty Work: Some people have naturally dry skin due to a lower production of lipids. Rebalance your skin with a full-on face feeder like Chanel Precision Hydramax and Lancôme Resource Lait En Eau.

Check The Oil: If peak summers and winters turn normal skin dry, oily skin may become normal. Blast oil-prone complexions with a fresh burst of Decleor Hydra-Matte Regulating Fluid or Nivea Beauty Boost.

Behind The Mask: Want total pampering and serious moisturisation? Opt for a luxurious hydrating face mask. Smother on White Nectarine & Honey Nourishing Mask fro Jo Malone for peach perfect skin.

Skin Brightners

If dull, grey patches and shadows sneak up on you, reach for the light. Skin brightening creams work by inhibiting the production of melanin, or pigment, in the skin.

Scrub Up: Many creams contain exfoliants to increase cell turnover and shedding of old skin pigment. Try Skin Tone Correcting Serum from Prescriptives for crystal clear results.

Get It White: Rest assured, only some prescription products permanently bleach skin. Ligten up safely with Sensation Totale Perfecting Complex from Lancôme or SKII Whitening Source.

Get Up & Glow: Smoky bar + three hours of sleep = seriously dull skin. Perk up your complexion with a light-reflecting booster like Visible Results Ultra Smoothing Daily Skin Perfector from L'Oréal Dermo Expertise.

Scum Shifters

Any dermatologist will tell you the key to blemish prevention is to treat the skin daily. Flush out fumes and dodge germs with everyday action for crystal clear skin.

Pollution Solution: Shield skin from pore clogging nasties with protective Clinique Repairwear Day.

Life Of Grime: P acnes - acne causing bacteria - thrive in the T-zone's oil producing glands. Shift street scum with a cleansing mask like Steep Clean from Bliss.

Pore Patrol: Once the spot is there, it's harder to get rid of it. At the first sign of trouble, blitz problem-prone pores with Neutrogena Pore Refining Cleanser.
