Start Power Cleansing

Old habit: A basic cleanser

New habit: A cleanser with benefits

Ditch the cleansing wipes once and for all, and adopt turbo-cleansing instead. We love the Clarisonic, £150, a gadget that makes short shrift of blocked pores - 83% of participants reported healthier skin in just eight weeks.

Look out too for cleansers vying with expensive serums and creams to offer seriously targeted problem solving.

Step up Elemis Melting Cleansing Gel, £19. 40, packed with anti-ageing argan oil and assai fruit, which promises to pump youth-boosting goodness into your skin with every wash.

Once a month, trade your customary cleanser for a three-day DIY beauty-boosting ritual - as recommended by skin expert, Margo Marrone, co-founder of The Organic Pharmacy.

'In a blender, whizz up half a cup of ground almonds, 4tbsp sunflower oil, 2tsp honey, 2tbsp rosewater and 1 egg yolk,' advises Margo. 'Massage the mixture into your skin in gentle, circular motions and leave it to work for a few minutes before rinsing off with warm water. Keep the masque in the fridge and use it every evening for three consecutive days for glowing, smooth skin.'
