Estée Lauder's pro esthetician and artist, Roslyn Draai shares tips for skin.

Your face is the first thing that starts showing the effects of pollution, sun damage, ageing, and other environmental assaults. If you do not wash these off your face, they can penetrate deep and cause breakouts.

That’s why I love our Advanced Night Cleansing Gelée Cleanser. This cleansing gel transforms into a fluffy, soft foam that gently yet thoroughly cleanses your skin. Your skin is left feeling soft, comfortable and balanced.

Toner It helps balance your skin’s PH, remove excess dirt, and hydrate the skin. The more hydrated your skin is, the plumper it looks.

Revitalizing Supreme Youth Power Soft Milky Lotion gives you a more lifted and defined look in three key facial zones: cheeks, jawline, and smile lines. It also provides 72-hour hydration and minimises the appearance of pores. The formula combines nature-powered ingredients with collagen-boosting technology to help the skin feel firmer and look more lifted.

A serum has always been important as it works deep in the skin. One of the most striking benefits of face serums is their ability to help lock moisture into the skin, boost the collagen of your skin to keep it firmer, and plumper, and reduce the effect of ageing.

That's why I recommend the Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex Serum.

Hyaluronic acid helps improve skin’s moisture whilst strengthening the skin barrier for a hydrated and healthy-looking complexion. It also has 7 key benefits that help repair and renew your skin:

1. Reduction of fine lines
2. Helps improve skin’s firmness
3. More even-toned looking skin
4. Helps strengthen skin
5. Helps hydrate the skin and repair the moisture barrier with 72-hour-hydration
6. Helps boost radiance
7. Antioxidant power

The skin under the eyes is 40% thinner than the rest of your face and can easily start looking puffy if you’re tired or stressed. When a face starts to show age, the eye area usually gets the worst of it.

Advanced Night Repair Supercharge Eye Complex is a gel texture that addresses all key signs of ageing and offers blue light protection to our fragile eye area. It also helps brighten the eye area and improves dark circles and puffiness.

The Revitalizing Supreme+ Eye balm is a lightweight cream that will help with improving firmness and elasticity for a supple, less puffy, and more lifted look around the delicate eye area. It also reduces the look of lines and dark circles.

A good moisturiser is the best thing you could ever do for your face. Lack of moisturising results in more than usual fine lines and wrinkles on the face.

Revitalizing Supreme+ Youth Power Creme Moisturizer suits all skin types and results in beautiful glowing skin when you rise the next morning, improving skin firmness, radiance, and texture.

It leaves your skin feeling hydrated, moisturised, and smoothed. In addition, this indulgent cream is quickly absorbed leaving you with a more lifted, youthful look. It now comes in SPF 25.
