“Make-up is a great place to start thinking about skincare,” enthuses Dr Elizabeth Hale, clinical associate professor of dermatology at New York University medical centre and consultant for Revlon’s new Age Defying range. “Make-up with skincare benefits is ideal; it can be as simple as a foundation with SPF to prevent dark spots and wrinkles, through to antioxidants to fight free radical damage.”
