I Have Stressed Skin, But This Is the Skincare Brand I Always Come Back To

Sponsor Content Created With Elemis

Stressed-out skin is on the rise, and it's easy to see why. Our busy schedules and dependence on technology mean we never fully switch off, particularly over the past couple of years as we've all been staring at a screen regularly. If you're like me, your weekly screen-time report might be on the up, and you've got a mild case of tech neck. We're often at the command of pings from our phones and laptops, and that can contribute to stress, which can often show up on our skin.

It can be easy to fall into the trap of throwing several skincare products at the problem. More often than not, this leaves your skin feeling irritated and even more stressed. As someone who has sensitive skin and eczema flare-ups, I've come to find that with skincare, less is often more. I opt for quality over quantity and streamline my routine with gentle cleansers, hydrating serums and protective moisturisers that put my skin back in a zen state.

One brand that always delivers is ELEMIS. It's highly regarded for its cult Pro-Collagen Marine Cream and Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm. (In fact, there isn't a member of theBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing Team who won't sing this cleanser's praises.) The brand's moisturisers are probably my favourite, though. I find the formulas really nourish my skin and leave it feeling strengthened and soothed. I was already a fan of the Pro-Collagen Overnight Matrix, which leaves skin bouncy and soothed when I wake up, so when I heard that a daytime version was launching, I was very excited indeed.
