Since the summer is upon us, wearing a lot of makeup is definitely off the cards. During these few months I prefer to wear a much lighter coverage or even no makeup at all, so my number one priority is to keep my skin looking clear and healthy. These are my current skincare essentials, and no I don't use them all everyday.
1. Bioderma... I use this everyday to remove my makeup before cleansing my skin. It is not only soothing but makes taking my makeup off a lot easier.
2. Dermologica Multi-active Toner... After cleansing I spray this toner all over my face to help refresh and hydrate my skin.
3. Lush Bubblgum Lip Scrub...I use this lip scrub everyday as I get dry lips so easily. It removes any dead skin and leaves your lips silky soft.
4. Dermologica Clean Start- ready set scrub... I absolutely adore this face mask. It prevents breakouts, refines pores and exfoliates the skin, leaving it clearer and fresher. I use this 2-3 times a week and it definitely makes a huge difference to my skin.
5. Balmi Lip Balm in mint...This lip balm is slightly tingly which in my mind makes me believe it's doing the job right. I use it numerous times everyday and it helps to moisturise my lips.
6. La Roche-Posay Serozinc...Now this product is amazing. I can't quit put my finger on what it actually does but I 100% notice a difference in my skin when I don't use it everyday. It soothes, refreshes and cleanses all in one.
7. Nivea Light Moisturising Day Cream...I use this moisturiser everyday before putting my foundation on. I recently ran out of my Clarins Day Cream (FYI it was amazing) and unfortunately it is out of my price range at the minute, so I settled for this. It has been keeping my skin soft, it has spf 15 which is useful for these summer days and it was really inexpensive.
8. Avène Thermal Spring Water...This multi-functional product is great during the summer months. It soothes skin, reduces redness, cools you down and can be used to set makeup. I always take this product when I travel because it's great by the pool, or even on the plane.
9. Dermologica Clean Start- hit the spot... This is the product I rummage for in my drawers when a deadly spot appears. I put it on at night and allow it to dry. Overnight the product works its magic and by the time I wake up the deadly spot is dramatically reduced.
10. Dermologica Skin Prep Scrub...This is the exfoliating product I use on the days I don't use the face mask. It is slightly more gentle, yet polishes and smooths the skin, leaving it feeling fresh and clean.
11. Simple Eye Make-up Remover... Finally I use this to remove my eye makeup. I love this product as it removes even the toughest mascara and eyeliner yet doesn't sting your eyes. it is very sensitive but effective.
You may have noticed I haven't featured a cleanser in my skincare essentials and that is because I am yet to find a cleanser that I feel I could not live without. If you have any recommendations, please feel free to comment. Those are my current skincare essentials, I would love to know yours!
