Quit Smoking

By Shereen Low

Creme De La Mer's The Radiant Facial

Clearer Complexions

Sallow and greying skin are often tell-tale signs of smokers, and their skin needs an extra moisture boost.

"Smoking depletes the oxygen supply, and it's oxygen that gives you that rosy glow - so a smoker's skin often looks yellow. Smoking also depletes your vitamin C levels and inhibits the regeneration of collagen," Sally says.

Creme De La Mer's Radiant Facial and Clarins Bright Plus are intensive brightening treatments that will instantly turn the years back. The Radiant Facial, £245 or 375 Euros (0870 034 2566), is a two-step system consisting of a primer to soothe, followed by a cotton mask enriched with specially harvested white algae.

Bright Plus, £110 (0800 036 3558), is also a two-step, three-week
course, involving a nightly application of two concentrates - Age
Control and Brightening.

There are cheaper options too. Nivea Visage Oxygen Power Skincare
System, from £7.99, contains 15% oxygen to breathe new life into your skin, and Skin Wisdom Age Reverse, from £2.49 at Tesco, has a
time-fighting blend of ingredients and antioxidants to firm the skin, boost collagen levels and fight wrinkles.

Protect your skin from damaging free radicals with Clinique Continuous Rescue Antioxidant Moisturiser, £32 or 52 Euros, Lancome Primordiale Skin Defence Skin Perfecting serum, £43, Elemis Cellular Recovery Skin Bliss Capsules, £55 or 91 Euros (www.elemis.com), and ar457 Elixir with Moroccan argan oil, £59 from Space NK (020 8740 2085/www.spacenk.com).

Face masks are very nourishing - Biotherm Hydra Detox 2 Mask, £23 (0800 037 1020/www.biotherm.co.uk), Eve Lom Rescue Mask In A Jar, £48 at Space NK, and Olay Total Effects 7x Mask, £16.99, will work wonders on parched complexions.
