Aim: to get my skin ready for the lighter, spring make-up
Friday 7pm
I start as I mean to go on and begin the weekend by taking off every inch of my make-up as soon as I get home. With my skin cleansed I feel refreshed and celebrate with some of my favourite Bliss Triple Oxygen eye patches, £38.50, (and a large glass of wine), which feel cooling after a long week at work.

Saturday 10am
I wake up after a good night’s sleep and resist the urge to wear any make-up. Instead I start my morning with some goodness from the inside out and pour myself a glass of apple juice with a big glug of E3 live algae in it. A superfood supplement that promotes healthy skin and increased energy levels, it’s pretty murky looking but after taking it for nearly a month my skin feels incredibly supple.

A double whammy of skin treats while I settle down to watch an afternoon film. First up is Aesop’s Parsley Seed Masque, £23, to rid my skin of toxins and impurities, followed by a layer of Sisley’s blissful Flower Gel Express Mask, which leaves my skin feeling soft and fresh.

Saturday 11pm
A rare evening in heralds an early night and an excuse for a proper massage to get my circulation revved up. I spend a good five minutes working Trilogy’s Rosehip Oil, from £16.50, into my freshly washed face, paying particular attention to my jaw line and cheekbones to encourage toxins to drain away.

Sunday 11am
A long sleep has done wonders for my complexion and I wake looking refreshed. A handful of linseeds on my yoghurt makes me feel virtuous (they’re packed with omega 3 for healthy skin).

Sunday 10pm
A thorough clean of my skin with my new Clarisonic Mia, £120, ensures every last bit of dirt and grime is removed. I slather on YSL’s Beauty Sleep, £40, a plumping concentrate with an in-built brush, the perfect preparation for the week ahead.
