All of Susannah’s friends constantly ask her whether expensive beauty products are actually worth their price tag.

Here, Susannah lists through her top five performing high-tech skincare product…

IOMA Youth Booster, £149 (http://bit.ly/1BPeFAB)

IOMA is a futuristic science-based skincare brand. All of the ingredients included in it are proven to work on your skin, meaning you’re sure to get results. The brand offers a skincare consultation at Harrods and selected Boots nationwide, during which, you’re asked to put your head into a machine, which reads your skin. It provides you with a list of results, such as your level of fine lines and wrinkles, if you need to exfoliate more, if you have open pores, etc. From this, it will derive a bespoke skincare plan to target your areas of concern.

For Susannah, the Youth Booster is one of the most exciting in the range. The lid contains a diode, which acts as a hydration reader. The brand firmly believes that if your skin is hydrated, it will perform at its optimum level and products are able to work more efficiently. This diode is created using MEMS technology (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems), the same system being used by Curiosity, a NASA robot that is currently in space reading gas and water levels in the atmosphere.

Press the diode into clean skin for about 3 seconds and it will provide you with a reading. On a scale of 1 – 5 lights, it will inform you of how hydrated your skin is (5 lights being the most dehydrated). 3 or below lights is good and means you only need to apply it once a day, whereas 4 or 5 lights means you should apply it twice a day.

The product itself has lots of different ways to help beautify your skin. It detoxifies skin cells, helping them to function better, increases moisturisation, protects stem cells and repairs the skin. The texture doesn’t leave skin greasy and makes it soft.

Sisley Black Rose Precious Face Oil, £136 (http://bit.ly/1LtulkM)

This product feels and looks very special. At the heart of its formula is the beautiful black rose flower. The oil feels very luxurious and it has a light texture, meaning it sinks into the skin very quickly. Susannah would recommend it for mature skins or those that are dehydrated. It can be used under a moisturiser or on its own, morning or night.

Clinique Custom Repair Serum, from £48 for 30ml (http://bit.ly/1BTJsNV)

Similar to IOMA, this serum was created with the intention of being bespoke for the skin. It launched last year and Susannah used it for a solid 5 months, during which, she felt made a big difference to her skin by making it look brighter and clearer.

The serum contains a patented technology (which Clinique spent 5 years to develop) and no matter what your area of concern is, whether that is fine lines, wrinkles, pores, etc., it contains ingredients to target your specific problem. Susannah recommends using it under your moisturiser, unless your skin is quite greasy.

Crème de la Mer Moisturizing Cream, from £105 for 30ml (http://bit.ly/1BPgC04)

This brand is the one that Susannah is quizzed on the most. She genuinely thinks it works and her favourite is the original moisturiser. A lot of people find it difficult to get on with, as the texture is quite stiff. To apply it, rub the cream between your fingers to warm it up and pat on to your skin around your face. It contains a famous nutrient-rich sea kelp, which is harvested off the coast of Vancouver Island.

If you’re not a fan of the texture, they’ve since developed a variety of textures, including a soft one (Crème de la Mer The Moisturizing Soft Cream from £105 for 30ml, http://bit.ly/190ZQAD) and a gel-like product (Crème de la Mer The Moisturizing Gel Cream, from £105 for 30ml, http://bit.ly/19101fp) that is better suited to those with acne-prone skin.

Chanel Hydra Beauty Micro Serum, £66 (http://bit.ly/1xe8p74)

This product feels very different to any other that Susannah has tried. Upon application, its water-like texture feels very fresh and light. It contains camellia extract (also known as the Chanel flower), hyaluronic acid, which contains a huge amount of water per molecule, and blue ginger. If you’re skin is feeling parched, Susannah recommends applying a moisturiser on top, as your skin tends to drink up this serum.
