It happens to everyone, you get busy and some things suffer. Sometimes it's your face. Don't panic - stick to a basic routine and you won't need a 12-step program just to get back on track.

Even though you've been neglecting your skin lately, it's never too late to develop a good skincare habit, so pick your two favourite products and get back on track. Try to become a once-a-week strip user to instantly remove dirt, oil and blackheads from clogged pores. You'll see immediate results just after the first use and if you keep it up every week, you'll diminish the appearance of large pores. Use a cleanser that clears blackheads and dirt and reduces shine. Keep the cleanser in the shower and one at the sink so you won't have an excuse not to care for your face every day. Always finish your regime with a moisturiser to protect the skin and give a good base to make-up.
