My skincare is 100% my top priority every single day twice a day. I adore doing my skincare, cleansing and moisturising my skin is my form of self care. I’ve had a skincare routine since I was 16. My mum always used to get me to slaver my face with the old school Astral cream to keep my skin looking fresh, hydrated and most importantly moisturised. My mum is my biggest inspiration when it comes to looking after my skin. She’s always looked amazing and has always looked ten years younger than what she actually is. So by taking care of my skin so much, I hope I look as good as her skin does at her age.
I’ve tried and tested so many skincare products over the years and I’ve managed to narrow it down to my top ten items I’d use and repurchase time and time again.
1. Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm
I’ve used many cleansers and the Elemis Cleansing Balm I have repurchased and have mini versions of it for my travels as I honestly cannot be without it. It acts not only as your daily cleanser, but it can be your make up remover also in one. The glow and hydration this gives your skin is like no other cleanser I’ve used. It’s available in other forms of scents too.
2. Elemis Rose Micro Serum
I broke out from changing my skincare to a different brand of products which I've never seen my skin break out so badly before, but when I went back to this serum, it fixed not only the look of my skin, but the overall texture and feel of it. This serum added hydration and glow back into my stripped back skin. This is an investment product with its high price range, but I can honestly say it’s worth every penny. I’ve also popped a discount code for Elemis down below if you wanted to save money on Elemis.
3. Elemis Superfood Facial Oil
This combined with a gua sha is actually chefs kiss. I’m in desperate need of repurchasing this as I feel I can’t live without it and the daily gua sha techniques I did alongside this facial oil. It lasts such a long time as you only need a small amount for your face and neck. This product is the epitome of a spa facial in a bottle. If you want the ultimate glow, this is the product you want before you moisturise.
4. Babe Lash Serum
I’ve been trialling this serum for the majority of this year and I have never seen my lashes so full in thickness and in length. Alongside the Babe Lash Conditioner these are the super hero products for your lashes. If you suffer with short lashes or you suffer with hair loss, or like me you tend to pull at your lashes when you’re stressed, you honestly need this serum in your life. It’s an absolute game changer. The before and after I had after 3-6 months of these products are actually mind blowing. You can check these out on my Instagram on the PR highlights of my page.
5. L’Occitane Immortelle Overnight Reset Oil-In-Serum
The amount of times I’ve raved about this product, it’s an absolute legend of a serum. Transforming your skin overnight to a well rested, smooth and glowing skin the next day. This product is perfect for a pre hangover, that meaning if you put this on your face after a night out and you happen to have the energy to do your skincare routine, you’ll thank your past self in the morning for making the effort to do your skincare.
6. Elemis Pro-Collagen SPF 50
I’m terrible for forgetting to put my SPF on daily, but this SPF has been a game changer. I’ve always found that certain SPF products break me out in spots terribly, but this one actually hasn’t. Their formula is fabulous and also adds more of a glow to your completion too. This definitely is an investment SPF with the price range, but I always say if you’re going to invest in anything, make it your skin.
7. Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream
One of the best moisturisers I’ve ever used. That’s it, no more needs to be said. The glow this gives you, just wow. You have to try it.
8. Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream
Another one of the best moisturisers I’ve ever used. Preventing my skin from breaking out and gives me that glow. This is perfection. I also have a discount code for Charlotte Tilbury at the bottom of this post for you to utilise if you want to make a purchase there.
9. Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Capsules Daily Youth Restoring Serum
I’ve not used these for ages as I’m yet to make another purchase (trying to use up what I already have). These little golden gems of liquid gold are a no brainer to add to your skincare routine. The hydration and anti-aging power in this serum gives visibly firmer, smoother and healthier looking skin. They also have other versions of the capsules available including retinol which is definitely a switch as I get older I'll be making.
10. BHA Toner
If you suffer a lot with breakouts like I do, especially in the hormonal areas, a BHA Toner is my go to out of any toner I’ve used for battling my breakouts. After a few days of use, this toner instantly works away at my breakouts and blemishes. I’ve recommended this to one of my close friends and she too saw the results within days. My favourite one is Superdrug’s own brand Me+ for less than £10.
I actually have a discount code for Elemis and Charlotte Tilbury you are more than welcome to take advantage of, as I too of course use the code and make the most out of.
Elemis - ELEMIS20PUL7 for 20% off full sized products (can’t be used on any current offers, collections, travel size or supersized products)
Charlotte Tilbury - ISOBELCELINEFA426 for 15% off
