We really do put our skin through quite a bit. Not only is it blasted with air-conditioning all day, once we step outside there's the sun and pollution to contend with. So, if you're feeling like your face needs a little love, we give you five of the best skin soothers you can find.

Crème de la Mer, The Crème

Ask any skin expert what they recomend for all-round skin goodness and we can bet that this little beauty from Crème de la Mer will be right at the top of their list. With a formula that includes: sea kelp, magnesium, a whole host of vitamins, oils of citrus and iron, you can see why they call it their Miracle Broth. Designed to not only soothe any sensitivity in an instant, this pot of wonder also softens and firms skin while also working on reducing any fine lines. Perfect.

Estée Lauder Micro Essence Infusion Mask

If you are after a bit of pampering perfection then this brand new mask from beauty experts, Estée Lauder, is just the ticket. Designed to compliment the best-selling Micro Essence Skin Activating Treatment Lotion, this handy little helper delivers an intense dose of hydration almost immediately. So how does it work? Well, it uses something called the micro-nutrient bio ferment, a formula exclusive to Estée Lauder, which enables moisturising properties to get deep down into the skin levels almost immediately, moisturising and revitalising your precious skin in a flash.

La Prairie - White Caviar Illuminating Moisturising Cream

Not content with just soothing your skin, La Prairie's dream cream will also brighten, moisturise, illuminate and lift at the same time. Within this unique formula there's: Vitamin C and licorice root extract to prevent blemishes, swiss garden cress sprout extract to not only protect the skin from any environmental nastiness but to activate the skin's purification system too and last but not least, golden caviar to help regenerate, soothe and moisturise skin at the deepest level possible. 

Algenist Advanced Anti-Aging Repairing Oil

When it comes to soothing our skin, the first thing that will come to mind for any beauty aficionado is to use oil, and those in the know use Algenist Advanced Anti-Aging Repairing Oil. A deeply moisturising and soothing oil that contains essential extracts of microalgae and ceramides, it not only repairs and rebalances skin, but thanks to its fantastic anti-aging properties, tackles fine lines and age spots as it goes. Wonderful.

Josie Maran Pure Argan Milk Intensive Hydrating Treatment

100% natural and emulsifier-free, for those looking for some essential skin soothing, this really is the only name you need to know. The best part of all? It's so wonderfully simple, with just two key ingredients. First there's the pure Argan oil to deeply nourish the skin and then there's purified water to hydrate skin right down to the deepest levels, giving you soothed, smiley and sensational skin, and who doesn't want that?
