A few months ago, while my office was in my kitchen, I took the opportunity to try as many NSFW skincare regimes as I liked, from face masks in the middle of the day to stick-on patches under my eyes. I binged on Tony’s Chocolonely like everyone else, but also on skincare. Now I feel relieved to have pared things down to the essentials. I am not going to pretend that my minimal regime is just splashing my face with cold water and rubbing in some Nivea. At this stage in the game (well into midlife), what we mean by essentials is the minimum number of products required for optimal skin excellence.
