Our top picks
Step 1: Cleanse
Cleansing is essential for removing dirt and impurities, such as makeup that can block pores and cause breakouts. Using a high-quality but gentle cleanser, like the Shiseido Cleansing Microfoam does this while protecting the skin's natural and essential moisture. The luxurious foaming cleanser produces a creamy lather that hydrates using Japanese Kirishima mineral spring water that leaves your skin feeling refreshed, soft and smooth.
Step 2: Serum
Set your skin up for success with the fan-favourite Shiseido Vital Perfection LiftDefine Radiance Serum. The serum is powered by advanced ReNeura Technology++™, to lock in moisture for up to 24 hours of hydration. Formulated for mature skin types, this holy grail serum is enriched with watercress extract to help even out your skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots. For optimal results, Shiseido recommend applying the product using their Japanese 1 minute massage technique as follows:
Face and neck:
- Place on 6 areas (both cheeks, nose, forehead, chin and neck) and blend into skin.
- Blend into the neck with circular motions.
Jawline:
- Tuck your chin in slightly and hold the bottom of your jawline between the thumbs and pointer fingers.
- With pressure, slide your fingers up along the jawline, starting from the chin and ending below the ears. Repeat 3 times.
Smile lines:
- Hold 4 fingers together, placing the pointer fingers along the smile lines.
- Move upward towards the temples, pulling smile lines open, with palms flat on the cheeks and lift. Repeat 3 times.
- End by lightly pressing the temples.
Step 3: Moisturise
Finish your skincare regime with a nourishing moisturiser suited to your skincare concerns and lifestyle. The Shiseido Vital Perfection range offers a range of innovative skincare that uses ReNeura Technology+ and SafflowerRED, a patented ingredient that helps to diminish the appearance of fine lines and restore elasticity. Firm, tone and hydrate your visage with their collection of powerful moisturisers, prolonging and enhancing the effects from the Shiseido Vital Perfection LiftDefine Radiance Serum.
Step 4: Eye cream
Promote an awakened look and firmer eye contours with the Shiseido Vital Perfection Eye Cream, working to minimise the look of dark circles and help improve the appearance of sagging and wrinkles.
Step 5: SPF
A must all year round, SPF should be worn every day to maintain good skin health. The Shiseido Expert Sun range is known globally for their advanced formulas that provide maximum defence against damaging UV rays that contribute to skin damage and premature ageing. Enriched with skin-nourishing ingredients, the range supports and protects the skin from a range of aggressors in the environment and never feels sticky or greasy on the skin.
From a young age I’ve been immersed in the beauty industry, getting my first job at a skin clinic and staying there for almost 5 years. My love for skincare was born from the constant exposure to new French pharma skincare products, award-winning supplements and revolutionary techniques to snatch your face. My go-to look is a dewy, natural base using a tinted moisturiser, enhanced by a colourful eyeliner. The Garnier SPF50+ Face Fluid and YSL Touche Éclat Blur Primer are my holy grails.
