Dr Coleman's Current Daily Skincare Routine (March 2026)

I stand over all the products we sell and use many of them on a daily basis. I thought it would be a good idea to share these with you, until I realised just how many products I use ! Slightly embarrassing, but what can I say, I try many of them out and really believe that what you use on your skin everyday makes a marked difference to your hydration, plumpness, radiance, pigmentation, fine lines, pores and how you feel about your skin!  Botox is not the answer to good aging, good skincare helps a lot.

Furthermore, if you choose to have in-clinic procedures, it’s only smart to protect your investment by using the correct ingredients daily to support these treatments.

I added the word 'current' because products change and improve, and our skin needs change from time to time also, also depending on many factors.

I'm often asked in which order to apply various products: Always go from water based / lightest texture to oil / heavier creams. Always end with your richest creams after everything else has had a chance to be absorbed. For example with the new Skinceuticals serum P-tiox, I'm frequently asked which goes on first, it or CE Ferulic and in my opinion it's the P-tiox as it is more watery.

AM - after sleeping on my Mulberry Silk Pillowcase ........

Cleanser:  Just a cool wet muslin cloth, after all, you're only washing away your night cream.  My dentist doesn't ask me to floss in the morning also !

Toner / lotion: Biologique Recherche P50 Pigm 400 3/4 days a week.

Serum : I'm currently using Biologique Recherche Colostrum VG Serum Authentique as my skin is drier in the winter with the wind, central heating etc

Morning: I am currently using Dermaquest 3D Tinted moisturising SPF 30.(while it says SPF 30 it contains 18.6% Zinc Oxide and thus behaves as far higher protection) I then apply my new favourite Colorscience "No-show" Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 which I love for both another layer of 10% Zinc Oxide and it gives radiance. It's a perfect base for makeup.

If I'm going to be out and about, usually playing tennis, I always finish off with Colorscience Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50 which has now replaced foundation for me. I get an extra 12.2% Zinc Oxide with lovely warm coverage. I've switched the shade I use from Medium in summer, over my fake tan, to their new shade, a slightly paler Light for the winter. Yes, I know that's 3 layers of SPF but that's honestly what I do as studies show none of us use enough to get the protection on the label so the best bet is to apply it in layers for maximum protection. Since doing this with these 3 zinc oxide containing products, my facial pigmentation has reduced significantly.

I use Mineral no Show on my neck, chest and arms (so that colour doesn't rub off on my clothes).

Lips: Colorscience SPF 35 Lip Shine Champagne - people forget that lips can get sun damaged and skin cancer too. 

PM
"My husband has a chapter read by the time I get through this lot before hopping into bed.....!"

Cleanser: Jan Marini Bioglycolic face cleanser or BR Lait VIP O2 creamy cleanser (if my skin feels drier), both thoroughly removed with a wet muslin cloth (NOT gauze/pads/cotton wool) to wash off the day's pollution, make-up, SPF etc Wash once, rinse 3 times. No need to waste time or money double cleansing and stripping your skin.

Toner/Lotion: BR P50 Pigm 400 (unless my skin is feeling dry, then I just use it just once a day)

Nighttime cream face and neck:  I've been using 'Night Repair Therapy' by Skin Diary and just love it even more now since I see significant results daily in my patients. If I'm feeling particularly dry I'll add BR Amniotique Serum Authentique first (which is hydrating but light and won't block it) or alternate it with Creme Masque Vernix.  I use Night Repair right up to my lower eyelash margin and don't use an eye cream at night anymore. This is truly a miracle non-irritating Retinol product and so many of our patients are seeing marvellous results. It's the first Retinol product I can use without irritation and inflammation in my skin.

Eyes area: Rapidlash and Rapidbrow. I don't need eye cream at night as it can make my under-eye area puffy (but Night Repair Therapy is so light, it doesn't) 

Hands: Last thing before lights out, Ahava Dead Sea Mineral Hand Cream to keep my hand eczema at bay.

INTERMITTENT USE:
I love to light candles and relax in an Epsom salt bath with Aveeno Oatmeal soaks or Elave bath lotion most nights to ensure my beauty sleep (all that magnesium) and will usually apply a face mask for 15 mins. My favourite is Biologique Recherche Masque Vivant for clarity and radiance, but also BR Visolastine+ for extra hydration, depending on what I feel I need. 

Weekly exfoliation: On Friday morning I am now using Revision Triple Action Exfoliator(applied to face, neck, chest, no scrubbing, washed off gently with muslin cloth.) unless I have used our Hydropeptide Polish and Plump Peel that week, which I also love and don't need further exfoliation. The skin gets stripped if over-exfoliated.

All year round, every few days, I apply fake tan, Tan Organic Mousse to my face (no smell and doesn't clog pores/cause blackheads). It only takes a minute, takes the 'DAZ' blue/white look off my skin and is an awful lot healthier than the real thing ! (PS when wearing skirts/shorts in summer, don't forget SPF legs also as after the face, they're the most common site for skin cancers in the elderly and also don't look good all blotchy and pigmented).

While watching TV I'll put on the Boost LEDS face mask a few nights a week. I had got out of the habit and was then reminded of the benefits when I recently saw the radiant effects on some of my patients' skin. It's also extremely relaxing. 

After that routine I'm rightly exhausted and ready for a good night's beauty sleep !
