- Doing a "double cleanse" every night. This means using an oil or balm cleanser followed by a milk or gel cleanser to get rid of all makeup, dirt, and grime ideally with a flannel or muslin cloth.

- Also, gradually introducing retinol and hyaluronic acid into your routine, either using it in a face oil during the day or a serum at night. Also incorporating Vitamin C as it's a really powerful antioxidant.
- One of Rosie's rules is to NEVER neglect your neck, and consider it as part of your face when doing your regime. You have to take your time for your skincare and never forget to use a dedicated SPF at the end of your morning routine.
- If you have the time, she reckons it's better to wait 15 minutes before putting your make-up on. I'm going to incorporate all of these tips into my skincare routine and of course, will continue to wear my special HELLO! mask (designed by Melissa Odabash with profits going to the WellChild charity).
