5 Bazaar Editors Share The Best Beauty Advice They’ve Ever Received
From hyaluronic acid-infused serums to pore-minimizing morning hacks, here are five editor-approved approaches to skincare
Louise Nichol, editor-in-chief
“Stop using rich face creams, which cause skin cells to get lazy and essentially stop working, and pare skincare right back to hyaluronic acid serum and sunblock, using a vitamin A derivative when more intense intervention is needed”

“The effects of Dubai’s air-con climate leave me with very tired, dry skin. The only thing that really seems to work at restoring moisture is a serum. My tried and tested product is Chanel’s Hydra Beauty, which seems to pour hydration back into my pores in just a few hours. It’s a good power-hit when an unfriendly AC-complexion threatens to take over.”

“Less is more when it comes to skincare. When I first started this job I was trying all the skin care products sent through the door. It wreaked havoc on my sensitive skin. I’ve stripped everything back now and have heard more and more people doing the same.”
Elizabeth Kelly, content & social media manager
“Splash your face with ice cold water in the morning for a brighter complexion, to tighten your pores and to reduce puffiness. Also drink plenty of water to hydrate your skin and flush out any toxins your body may be retaining.”
Sophie Stevens, fine jewellery & watches editor
“Drink water, water and more water! Best advice ever from a dermatologist – completely cleared up my troublesome acne years ago.”
