A Top Facialist Shares Her Best Tired-Skin Tips

Knackered? Yep, same!

Superstar facialist, skin expert *and mum, Michaella Bolder, shares her favourite tips and products for making your face look less worn out.

“Whenever i’m feeling tired or groggy, I like to ice my face. Simply take an ice cube straight from the freezer and wrap it in a thin face cloth and smooth it over your skin. Move in fluid motions and gently swoosh it around the eye area and then up and down the neck. This cooling method instantly reduces swelling and puffiness as it shrinks blood vessels, and it also tightens the skin.”

“Use a gentle cleanser and try and incorporate some facial massage like in the video shown below. It’s so good for brightening and lifting. I like to use Elemis Pro Cleansing Balm, Sunday Riley and Emma Hardie. They’re all fabulous cleansers that you can do this with.”

“Always use Vitamin C in the morning to help brighten and stimulate collagen. Renergie H.C.F Triple Serum from Lancome is great as it’s got Vitamin C in it and moisturising hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, it’s three serums in one, so great for busy mums.”

“If you want a lighter moisturiser, I recommend a gel-based formula. Keep it in the fridge so it’s extra cool. I’m currently using Clarins. Anything cooling is great for calming tired skin.”
