SkII

£32-£70

Whitening products sell in their droves in the Far East, where women strive for paler skin, but over in the UK, where we're more likely to shell out on tanning products, they have never taken off in the same way. Which is where we might be going wrong. This year, before you start dousing yourself in fake tan, why not even out your skin tone first? Rather than actually whiten your skin, the best of these skincare buys will help fade age spots and acne scars, banish dry, dead skin cells and actually brighten the skin – rather than giving you a ghostly visage. SK-II's Whitening Source range includes four products to take your skin from so-so, to so good.
