LUXURIOUS moisturisers, hard-working masks and effective serums are some of the best buys on beauty counters in the next few weeks with the arrival of the new season’s skincare launches.

Origins Three Part Harmony Nourishing Cream, £60, has been designed for women in their 50s, with a formula that boosts collagen while lifting and firming the skin. A rich product, use it at night to repair moisture loss and increase the resilience of the skin.

The two-in-one formula of Origins Original Skin Retexturising Mask, £23, deep cleanses while exfoliating and refining the skin for a healthy glow. Apply a thin layer to clean skin, leave it for 10 minutes and then use wet fingertips to scrub and wipe off.

Improve the appearance of fine lines and aim for a radiant complexion with Goldfaden MD Doctor’s Scrub, £65 from Space NK.

Exfoliation is the best thing you can do for your skin, according to US dermatologist Dr Gary Goldfaden. By removing the top layer of dead skin and damaged cells, it allows moisturisers and serums to better penetrate the skin and work more effectively.

Launching next month from physician-strength skincare brand Goldfaden MD is the Plant Profusion collection.

Lifting Neck Cream, £125, promotes collagen production; while the Energetic Eye Cream, £115, is a potent treatment that repairs and hydrates; and the Regenerative Night Cream, £140, features an anti-ageing formula that works overnight to achieve healthy looking skin.

Brighten dark circles and eliminate shadows with Elemis Pro-Radiance Illuminating Eye Balm, £34. It also includes optical blurring powders to fade and soften the appearance of fine lines.

Best of all is the cleverly designed cooling head attached to the tube which curves around the contours of the eye, while soothing and refreshing at the same time. Keep it handy in your bag and use any time, even over make up, for a boost. Just lightly tap on with your finger, leave it for a few minutes and then apply concealer.

Kiehl’s Daily Reviving Concentrate, £36, is a facial oil designed to perk up tired-looking skin. Use a couple of drops of the quickly absorbing blend of botanical and essential oils in the morning after a serum and before moisturiser. It creates a protective layer while providing day-long hydration.
