Is there such thing as perfect skin ? It turns out the answer depends on who you ask . What steps achieve perfect skin ? That ’ s up for debate too . We posed these questions to five women and got five very different answers . Our favourite finding ? Everyone — from a teen to a nonagenarian — has something they love about their face .

Abi – A Skincare Newbie What is perfect skin ? A good complexion and a natural glow . What ’ s your skincare routine ? I wash my makeup off with an apricot scrub and use a basic three-step routine every morning and night . Sometimes I ’ ll do a mask — something homemade with avocado , peanut butter and honey . Is there more you should do ? Eat healthier . When I eat healthy foods , my skin reflects that . And I need to make sure I take my makeup off at night . What do you love about your face ? Probably my freckles — they give me character .

Lindsey – Just Not That Into Skincare What is perfect skin ? Looking young and fresh . What ’ s your skincare routine ? My routine is non-existent . I wash my face in the shower with a bar of gentle soap , and I don ’ t wear makeup . Is there more you should do ? More frequent facials would preserve my youth and prevent damage . I should wash my face with something other than soap , and I should moisturise regularly too . What do you love about your face ? My soft skin .

Kiki – Keeping It Simple What is perfect skin ? Skin that is clear and blemish free . What ’ s your skincare routine ? I wash my face twice a day : in the morning with a gentle soap and in the evenings with a detoxifying cleanser that also removes make-up . I always use a tone perfecting cream to moisturise my skin after cleansing . Is there more you should do ? I ’ m getting older and I ’ m seeking out a good eye cream to prevent the crinkles around there from setting in . What do you love about your face ? I have a small splattering of freckles on my nose . No one else in my family does .

Jennifer – A Product Junkie What is perfect skin ? No blemishes , no sun or age spots , and a smooth texture . What ’ s your skincare routine ? I ’ m a product junkie . In the morning , I wash with a foaming cleanser . After that , my first layer is a protective serum , then a facial moisturiser with SPF and eye cream with SPF . At night , I use a make-up wipe to remove make-up , but I change up my skincare a lot . Once a week I use a sonic cleansing brush . I mask often — charcoal , antioxidant , hydrating
