FIVE WAYS TO UNLOCK RADIANT SKIN Abi Weeds, co-founder of skincare brand Odylique, shares her top tips 1. Aiming for healthy skin without cleansing properly is like painting a wall without clearing away the surface debris first! I like to use a gentle cleanser that doesn’t strip away your skin’s natural oils. Look out for cleansers that use calming and soothing, natural ingredients such as rose or coconut oil. 2. A good skin tonic can be used not only to cleanse tone and gently balance the skin’s barrier after cleansing, but can even replace a separate moisturiser on those particularly hot summer days. 3. On days when my skin feels dry, I like to use a serum to help boost its moisture. I’m a big fan of serums rich in rosehip, which help to brighten my skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark areas. 4. I always look for slightly lighter moisturisers around this time of year, as your skin naturally tends to produce more oil and moisture in warmer weather. I prefer a prebiotic moisturiser, since they help the skin bounce back from like UV light and pollution. 5. Finally, on sunny days, it’s important to use a broad spectrum

(UVA and UVB) sunscreen. It should offer an SPF of 30 or higher, and I always go for a
natural sunscreen (one that uses exclusively minerals like zinc oxide). This benefits the skin more, and lets you go straight out into the sun after you’ve applied it.
