As well as these tricks, Lisa impresses the importance of using the right skincare.
She said: “At home, it’s important to use a gentle enzyme cleanser.
“That helps to exfoliate the skin and remove debris and also really importantly it helps to keep bacteria at bay on the skin.
“Add a serum and moisturize the skin with appropriate moisturizer for skin type.
“Make sure it’s an emulsion and not a thick moisturiser as that will clog the pores, so a non-comedogenic moisturiser.
“A really good serum is hyaluronic acid so you can use that and then put the moisturizer on top.”
Another common condition affecting the skin is rosacea.
An expert warned against certain rosacea triggers to help soothe the condition.
Rosacea is a condition causing blushing and flushing, highlighting visible blood vessels on the face.
It affects women most, although anyone can suffer from it.
