I always begin my day with a good skincare routine. After cleansing and toning, I use a serum before applying a moisturiser and sunscreen. Clarins' newly reformulated Double Serum is a global, age control concentrate that stimulates the five vital functions of the skin. It works on several things at once, smoothing wrinkles, diminishing the appearance of pores and restoring radiance and evenness to your complexion.

One of the key design features of the Double Serum is the dial pump that lets you customise your dosage between a small or big drop. Choose the small drop if you have oily or combination skin, or are in a warm and humid climate like Singapore. Go for the larger drop if you have dry skin, or are perhaps travelling to a winter climate.

As a food writer and content creator, I often meet up with clients to discuss projects. While I am exposed to a variety of foods and cooking styles as part of my job, I do opt for healthy options when I can, feeding my skin with essential vitamins and nutrients.

Similarly, Clarins Double Serum contains 21 plant ingredients. Besides the key ingredient, turmeric, that protects the cells' 'listening' system, you'll find other powerful, effective and natural ingredients like organic green banana, avocado, goji berry, kiwi and mango that work synergistically on the skin.

Victoria's tip: "As a food writer, I do indulge in rich meals more than the average person, but it's important to me to also eat clean at least twice a week. I crave foods like vegetables, fruits and fresh juices, but I also think it's equally important to feed your skin with vitamins and nutrients when it comes to skincare."

Exercise is a big part of my lifestyle and one of my preferred modes of exercise is running — I recently completed my first half-marathon in Sydney. Other sports that I take part in include boxing — which I teach several times a week. Similarly, one of the five, key actions of the Double Serum, is the oxygenation of skin cells, ensuring that your skin stays healthy and functions optimally.

Victoria's tip: "One of the keys to good skin is also regular exercise, as it really helps to oxygenate your skin cells and
promote circulation and that healthy glow."

Nights are the best time to replenish the skin and allow it to repair itself from the stressors of the day. And when I'm relaxing in my room at night, I catch up on some reading, a movie or two, and really focus on my skincare routine. Before bed, I carefully cleanse the skin to remove all traces of makeup, as well as unwanted pollutants after a long day of travelling. After I've cleansed, I apply a serum and a richer moisturiser, light a soothing candle, and just kick back.
