She's been an OG in the beauty and media industry for over 20 years, and today Leigh Campbell is letting us rummage through her skincare cupboard.  We're leaving no stone unturned (or serum unwatched) today. From the simple shifts Leigh has recently made to "supercharge" her skin to the only product she just can't get around.  Plus, Leigh weighs in on 'skin purging' and how she has learnt to avoid damaging her protective skin barrier over time. This is Leigh's formula for nourished, juicy skin.  LINKS TO EVERYTHING MENTIONED:  Skin Scientist Hannah English on You Beauty Beauty Writer Teresa McNamara on You Beauty Bioderma Sensibio H2O Soothing Micellar Water Cleanser $32.99  Niacinamide Cleansing Gelée 3% $35 SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic Serum $242 No7 Radiance+ 15% Vitamin C Serum $34.99 Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Water Gel $35 The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Eye Serum $39 James Cosmetics 24K Gold & Collagen Crystal Eye Mask $35 ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm $31 A313 Vitamin A Retinol Cream Tube $35 OLE HENRIKSEN Transform Double Rewind Pro-Grade 0.3% Retinol Serum $105 TBH Skincare rebound serum $60 Ole Henriksen Strength Trainer Peptide Boost Moisturiser $70 Jurlique Nutri Define Cream Mask $89 Medik8 Press & Glow $60 SUBSCRIBE:  Subscribe to Mamamia Vote in the 2024 You Beauty Awards Sign up for our free You Beauty weekly newsletter for our product recommendations, exclusive beauty news, reviews, articles, deals and much more!
