An Expert Dermatologist Shares Her Beauty Dozen

Dr Justine Kluk is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to skincare. What she doesn't know about skin health and the products that help boost a healthier complexion isn't worth knowing. From the concealer she can’t live without to her own tried and tested routine, this is Justine’s little black book of recommendations…
Foaming Facial Cleanser, £8.99 | Cerave

For cleansing…

Cerave Foaming Facial Cleanser contains ceramides and hyaluronic acid to deeply cleanse and hydrate. It also contains niacinamide to calm inflammation and is non-comedogenic, which makes it perfect for people who have battled breakouts.

For glow…

I love Skinceuticals Phloretin CF serum and apply it to my face, neck and décolletage each morning after cleansing. This powerful product contains 10% pure vitamin C, which helps guard against damage from environmental aggressors and makes your complexion appear brighter and more even.

For anti-ageing…

As I’m now in my mid-30s, my priorities involve delaying the onset of wrinkles and keeping my skin looking smooth and firm for as long as possible. Vitamin A derivatives, such as retinol, are the gold standard ingredient to address this need, and I love Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6.

For hydration…

La Roche Posay Effaclar H is my go-to as it adds moisture without greasiness. It’s designed specifically for spot-prone skin that may also be dry from treatment, such as retinoids, benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. 

La Roche Posay Effaclar H, £14.40 (was £16)

For tired eyes...

BareMinerals SPF20 Correcting Concealer has a really nice creamy texture and gives good coverage. I use it to cover dark circles under my eyes and love the fact that it doesn’t crease or flake.

For lips…

Chanel Rouge Coco lipstick in Arthur is a bright and punchy red with a lovely soft, buttery texture. It looks super glossy and velvety smooth even on the most parched winter lips. I always feel that little bit more confident when I'm wearing it.

For nails…

For day to day I think a simple nude nail like Essie’s Not Just a Pretty Face looks feminine, elegant and sophisticated.

For foolproof liner…

Eyeko Eye Do is a gorgeous inky black liquid liner that’s super easy to use. The felt tip style is effortless to handle and doesn't budge all day long.

Eyeko Eye Do, £12.80

For fragrance...

One of the stand-out perfumes I’ve enjoyed again and again over the years is Diptyque’s Philosykos. It always reminds me of balmy summer evenings.

For a cut…

My hairdresser Mario Sammour is an utter genius and I don’t know what I would do without him. My hair is very fine but his blow dries makes it look like I have twice as much volume.

DLUX3000 Daily Vitamin D Oral Spray, £7.95 | Better You
DLUX3000 Daily Vitamin D Oral Spray, £7.95 | Better You

For a health boost…

A vitamin D supplement is a really good idea to support healthy teeth, bones, muscles and immune function without the perils of premature ageing and skin cancer from excess UV exposure. Better You DLUX3000 daily vitamin D oral spray is my product of choice.

Better You DLUX3000 Daily Vitamin D Oral Spray, £7.95

For a treat…

I never feel ‘done’ unless my fingers and toes look neat and tidy, so I love Dry By on Mortimer Street for keeping me groomed.
