Skincare can be such a minefield with many brands and types of products to choose from. I have been refining my choices for years now, and I finally feel that I have it nailed – my routine is sorted and my skin is happier for it!
My Morning Routine
Keeping it simple is key for me, using too many products can cause skin to become overloaded.
Step 1: Cleanse the face with Garnier Vitamin C Micellar Water to ensure all traces of make-up and oil are gently removed
Step 2: Apply L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Pure Vitamin C Serum and SPF 50+ Invisible Fluid Face Duo to protect your skin from sun damage, as well as hydrate the skin ready for the day
My Evening Routine
No matter what, I am committed to my super quick evening routine – even if that is the middle of the night after a few cocktails (we can dream!)
Step 1: Cleanse with the best of the best – Elemis Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm is delightful and leaves your skin feeling nourished and refreshed
Step 2: Smooth over a drop of L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Serum which has anti-ageing properties that work to smooth and hydrate skin
Step 3: Finish off with Shiseido Vital Perfection Uplifting and Firming Cream – this is a more expensive product but it’s absolutely worth it as it lasts forever and is cheaper than Botox for reducing fine lines and wrinkles!
