F or Jane Lauder, 36, general manager of Origins (part of Estee Lauder Companies), the facial skincare mantra for younger women is simple: 'Prevention! We're trying to get the message over that it's much easier to prevent damage than repair it later. My grandmother [Estee Lauder] always said, "You have one face, take care of it. It isn't like a pair of shoes or a handbag, you can't buy a new one in five years."' Although Origins is a natural beauty brand, chock-full of potent plant ingredients, Jane Lauder has an engagingly pragmatic approach: 'If being green becomes a religion, it can be counterproductive - because you can go into green guilt and do nothing. Be green in the way that's comfortable for you. For me, margaritas count as natural - and I wouldn't be seen dead in Birkenstocks!' I asked Jane to share her best tips with you. Here they are:. Get free advice on your skin and suitable products from different beauty counters: just because your best friend likes something - or the ads rave about it - doesn't mean it will suit your skin. You don't have to buy at Replica Chopard Watches that point - you're collecting information.
. Remove your make-up thoroughly: just showering your face won't do. I keep a facial cleanser in the shower, and always use an eye make-up remover.
. Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise: that means face, hands and body all year round but particularly in the winter (and when you are about to board a flight) to strengthen your skin barrier, keep skin plushy, smooth and dewy, and block any infectious agents.
. Always wear an SPF, even in winter. Choose a product with antioxidants; Origins is launching a white tea sun prep next spring.. If you're going out after work, with no time to redo your make-up, pat on a little moisturiser over your foundation, touch up with concealer, then sweep on translucent powder. It makes a world of difference.
. For smooth, luminous skin, get in the habit of exfoliating. I use Origins Modern Friction, (e43.50, Clerys, tel: 01 878 6000) three times a week in the mornings. [If your skin is very sensitive, just using a washcloth to take off cleanser should do the trick.] I apply serum and moisturiser at night, and once a week a sleep-in mask. [I use Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask, e30, Clerys, tel: 01 878 6000]. Use an eye cream morning and night: I have friends my age who are queueing up for Botox or laser treatment but they don't use an eye cream. Unbelievable!. Be flexible about healthy eating: Monday to Friday I eat salads and yoghurt, but at the weekends I splurge - if I want a burger and fries I have them! And I drink lots of still water.. Relax: I get lost in novels - the Stieg Larsson thrillers are so engrossing - and my husband and I like TV dramas such as Mad Men. But my all-time favourite de-stresser is a massage.
