6 Editors Break Down Their Simple (But Incredibly Effective) Skincare Routines

Finding good skincare products can be overwhelming—there's always a buzzy new ingredient you absolutely have to try or an update on a formulation that promises a slew of benefits you didn't know you needed. Having access to these products is undoubtedly a perk of being a Who What Wear editor, but it also has its setbacks. 

On the one hand, it helps us discover products we really, truly love, which we can then reiterate to you firsthand. On the flip side, the potency of really great products is sometimes diluted by the sheer volume of moisturisers, serums, balms, and oils we road-test. As such, we thought it was high-time to cancel out the noise and simply focus on the skincare buys we know—from months, if not years of use—work.

Editors and experts from both sides of the Atlantic have come together to each reveal the five skincare products they use daily and would recommend over and over again. Scroll below to discover what these Holy-Grail buys are and read why our team is so impressed by them.

Maxine Eggenberger
Deputy Editor

Maxine Eggenberger is Who What Wear UK’s deputy editor and has over thirteen years of experience in fashion journalism. She been creating engaging and elevated style content specifically for Who What Wear UK since 2018, covering runway reports, emerging trends, long-form features, self-styled shopping stories and columns, including her edit of the best new-in buys. She ensures the highest editorial standards are met across the site, leads the editorial team in their SEO strategy and keyword planning, works closely with the beauty team on content initiatives, represents the brand at industry events, and regularly contributes to social media, including her own Who What Wear UK TikTok franchise, French Style Fridays. Previously, Maxine appeared on ITV's This Morning in her own fashion segment and has interviewed countless celebrities—everyone from Victoria Beckham to Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o.

Prior to Who What Wear UK, Maxine’s career began when, after completing her first-ever internship at Look magazine, she was offered a position on the brand's fashion desk. She accepted, leaving university a year early in the process. Her passion and natural talent for writing and styling meant she swiftly rose through the ranks to become the title's fashion news and commercial content editor, with a stint as InStyle.co.uk’s fashion and beauty writer along the way. She later served as Look’s acting Editor in Chief, overseeing both print and digital, before embarking on a successful freelance career, working with Grazia, The Pool, and Marie Claire amongst others.

Maxine is based remotely from her countryside home near Edinburgh where she spends her downtime renovating her house, walking her dogs, hosting friends and trying to master the art of making Old Fashioned cocktails.
