Skin deeper: the Zing approach to healing problematic skin. By Emily Rose Mawson. If you’re among the one in four people in the UK with a skin-related concern, a gentle therapy can be the most effective approach.

Here, creator Kirsty Morrison tells writer Emily Rose Mawson how she created the exfoliator of her skincare dreams.
