On which Gatineau products are suitable for deep lines...

Q: I am looking for some advice about deep lines. I saw you talking about Gatineau products recently but can't remember which product you said was best for the treatment of deeper lines. Can you please remind me. Thank you.

Alison: When using Gatineau for deep lines, you want the Melatogenine collection, which is perfect to combat the signs of anti-ageing. This comes in three forms: the Melatogenine Futur Plus Cream that can be used morning and night; the Melatogenine Anti-Wrinkle Concentrate contained in the Melatogenine collection, a serum which works also on dehydration lines as well as on age lines and can be used underneath the eyes too; and there's the Focus Anti-Wrinkle Eye Pen that can be used anywhere on the face - the eyes, the neck and lips. These three forms can be used together or separately and added into other routines.

Craig Rowe lets us in on his skincare routine

Hi all, Craig here,

Where shall I start?! I LOVE my skincare products! Here are a few of my favourites...

My top products

I'm a big fan of the Alpha-H cream cleanser. It's great for taking off grime and dirt - that's for when I want to cleanse with water.

If I want to cleanse without water I will use Elemis cleanser and toner.

On a moisturiser for crepey skin...

Q: I am 33 years old and would say my skin looks reasonable for my age. However, when I push the edge of my finger across my skin it looks like crepe paper. I am currently using Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish toner, followed by the skin repair moisturiser but my skin is still tight after this so I have to apply a body lotion to stop my skin feeling tight. Please would you advise me on a moisturiser that will stop my skin having the crepe paper effect when I push it.

Alison: I think your skin is dehydrated and you're right to be concerned about it now. If you want to stay with the Liz Earle system you need to add the Superskin Concentrate to the Skin Repair moisturiser as well. However, I don't think this will necessarily give you your best result.

I would prefer you to use the Decleor Neroli Oil with the Hydrafloral moisturiser on top day and night - this is the classic world-renowned hydration duo to combat that problem with very quick results. You can still continue to enjoy your Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish with this but shouldn't need to use an extra body lotion any more.

Anthony Heywood reveals his favourite skincare products

Hi everyone, Anthony here,

Alison caught up with me to ask whether I had my own skincare routine and what my favourite beauty products were. I must admit that I don't stick to a particular skincare routine but these are my two favourite products...

Simon Biagi reveals his own beauty routine

Hi everyone, Simon here!

When Alison asked me about my personal beauty routine, I wasn't shy in responding. I think it's important - why shouldn't men look after their skin?!

So here it is...

For ingrowing hairs after waxing...

Q: I’m 27 and I get terrible ingrowing hairs after waxing. I exfoliate with a loofer once a week, but they don’t seem to go away.

Alison: A loofer exacerbates ingrowing hair because it can hold infections. It also scratches the skin, which can cause inflammation. Gatineau Reactiv'R Body Scrub has natural spherical jojoba beads, so it doesn’t scratch. Use it up to three times a week on the problem areas and once a week everywhere else. It’s also a good idea to use a moisturiser regularly to help soothe the skin.

On a foundation or primer to disguise enlarged pores and discolouration...

Q: I have just had a baby causing my skin to be very oily with enlarged pores and discolouration on cheeks and chin. I am looking for a foundation or primer that will last throughout the day (a wedding to go to) but will also make my pores look smaller and mask the discolouration. Can you suggest a brand or item to use?

Alison: Apply Cosmetics A La Carte Matte Miracle after your skincare routine. Take it in your handbag so you can touch up throughout the day  - just dab it on over your make-up. It will help to take off some of the shine and absorb some of the oil that may come out over the next few hours. Then use a Smashbox primer as well as this. For the discolouration you should use Smashbox Green Room Hybrid 2 in 1 Luminizing Primer as it will help to counteract the dullness of any of the pigmentation. A coat of self-tan a few days before the wedding is a great easy option and then just apply Bare Escentuals make-up for a natural look. If you don't want to use self-tan but want complete coverage on just the pigmentation, then Covermark do a really good foundation - Covermark Face Magic Foundation. An alternative trick is to use a good liquid concealer, like Amazing Cosmetics Concealer, with a new technology powder make-up for the finish from Bare Escentuals or Smashbox - it gives the full coverage that doesn't look full.
