• A day spent battling with the air conditioning at your office can play havoc with skin and if yours is oil-prone, you could do with a quick fix way to matify and remove oil-slick shine. A pack of mini face blotting tissues are the answer and can be tucked discreetly into a handbag or desk drawer. Use one of the individual sheets to gently blot away excess oil whenever you need to. Hard Candy do a pretty mint green pack of 50 Shiny Sheets (£6.50) and Liz Collinge's rather elegantly-named Finishing Tissues will set you back £3.50 for 100.
• If you're someone who finds themselves at the other end of the scale, suffering with dry skin that's not helped by the office environment, a facial spritzer spray like The Sanctuary Toning Mist (£5) or Sisley's expensive-but-luxuriant Botanical Floral Spray Mist (£32/150ml) delivers instant moisture and leaves your complexion feeling fresh and revitalised.
