Philosophy expert Robin reveals her top skincare tips

To celebrate our Philosophy Mini Series, we caught up with Philosophy expert Robin to find out about her skincare routine, top tips and much more.

Robin has over 20 years experience in the beauty business and now spends her time researching beauty trends and representing Philosophy at award ceremonies and on TV among other things.


Which is your favourite Philosophy product and why?

Purity Made Simple Cleanser! It's my desert island product. It easily removes my make-up (including my eye make-up) and leaves my skin feeling amazingly fresh all in one step. It's perfect on the days that I’m feeling lazy.

Its rich texture and calming scent make me look forward to washing my face. It has also become a bit of a family affair as I use it on my son and my husband uses it when he shaves – it's the ultimate multi-use product.

Top tip: I use this product to clean my make-up brushes. Its gentle formula will thoroughly clean off all the make-up and will leave them feeling super soft.

Describe your skincare routine

My morning skincare routine begins with the Microdelivery Wash, which invigorates my skin while cleansing and gently exfoliating. I follow that with When Hope is Not Enough Facial Firming Serum mixed with Turbo Booster C Powder. I then apply Hope in a Bottle moisturiser.

I have a separate night time skincare routine that begins with Purity Made Simple Cleanser to remove all my make-up as well as dirt that has built up throughout the day. Other products include a pea-size amount of Help Me and When Hope is Not Enough Replenishing Oil to rehydrate my skin.

Each week, I like to use the Microdelivery Peel. It refreshes my skin and brings its radiance back. I just love its fresh orange scent and sugar-like texture.


Which is the perfect fragrance for: A relaxing bath after work?

I would recommend Inner Grace. Its scent is designed to help bring a sense of calm and peace into your life. Its important for us to find some time in our busy lives where we can have a quiet moment and clear our minds.

Getting ready for a dinner date?

I absolutely recommend our Falling in Love scent. This romantic fragrance will make you feel gorgeous and set the mood for a wonderful night out.

Early mornings?

To set the mood for a great day, I recommend either Amazing Grace or Pure Grace. Both of these fragrances provide a very clean start to the day.

Amazing Grace is Philosophy’s best-selling fragrance and will leave you feeling clean and beautifully feminine. Pure Grace will give you the ultra-fresh, 'just stepped out of the shower' feeling all day long.


What are your top tips for keeping your skin looking great from top to toe?

To keep your skin looking fabulous, make sure that your daily beauty routine includes:

•  Vitamin C – the ultimate antioxidant.
•  Retinol (vitamin A) – one of the hottest trends in skincare at the moment.
•  Sun protection – wearing an SPF everyday is key to keeping our skin looking healthy and radiant.
 
In addition to your beauty routine, there are lifestyle choices that can greatly affect our skin's appearance. I recommend avoiding prolonged sun exposure, getting plenty of sleep and not smoking!
