Tourmaline Charged Hydrating Crème, 50ml for £29.50, by Aveda

Founded in 1978 Aveda is now the first company to manufacture using purely wind power. Among its consistent bestsellers is this rich, creamy moisturiser which Charlie put through its paces: "Tourmaline is one of nature's most energizing minerals, so combined with Vitamins A, C and E and 11 antioxidants, this little moisturiser packs quite a punch! It delivers a shot of intensive hydration and really brightens my skin. And I love that delicious spa smell – opening it each morning is a real treat!"
