Best Skin Booster1 of 10

Best Skin Booster: No7 Advanced Ingredients HYALURONIC ACID & CAMELLIA OIL Facial Capsules, £19.95, Boots

Skin feels smoother and looks plumper and more lifted. ' - Phoebe McDowell, Beauty Director.

Best of all, you can also use it on the baby hairs around your hairline.' - Remy Farrell, Fashion and Beauty Assistant.

Body BFF: Glide and Go Body Oil Stick, £12.95, Frank Body

'Straight after a shower, before drying off, wind up this solid bar and run it over your limbs and torso. No mess, no fuss. Made with avocado oil, shea butter and rosehip oil, it's both hydrating and nourishing. It also doubles up as a highlighter - swipe across collar bones and down shins for a sexy, subtle sheen. Oh and that coconut scent? Mouthwatering.' - Annie Vischer, Beauty Editor.
