I always struggle to revive my
skin after the harsh early months of the year, and before Spring allergies
inevitably set in. It’s an awkward phase, but if I’m going to be red-nosed and
swollen, I’d at least like my skin to look its best.
The thing is, by now I know which
products I can rely on to revive my skin. I always strip back my routine to a
few essentials for a little bit, before I add new products to my routine,
because that’ll give me a better idea of what I need to.
So this is my line-up when I’m in
dire straits.
Well-rested, plump, and radiant
looking skin for me, starts before I go to bed.
The most important thing is to
take off the day entirely, and I can’t do without Oskia’s Renaissance Cleansing Gel for that. My skin feels hydrated after I’ve cleansed, without any residue
left from its oily texture, and it removes every trace of makeup.
Toner is my favourite part of my
routine, and Eucerin’s Clarifying Toner is the gentlest I’ve tried. Toners have
to be hydrating and non-irritating, and this just leaves my skin feeling
quenched. If I could submerge my face into a sink full of this every day, I
would feel like a queen!
Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment withAvocado goes on straight after, and before anything heavier. I’ve somewhat made
peace with my fine lines, but keeping my under eye area hydrated goes a long
way in reducing how harsh they appear.
REN is my favourite skin care
brand. The Bio Retinoid Anti-Wrinkle Concentrate does incredible things! It
brightens, helps keep the signs of ageing at bay, and it drastically improves
the overall appearance of my skin. It’s also not heavy at all, so I can still
add REN’s Wake Up Wonderful Night-Time Facial once a week, for an added boost
of hydration. It’s good sleep, a youthful glow, and great nutrition in a tube!
Lastly, comes Trilogy’s Age Proof Replenishing Night Cream. It’s laced
with Rosehip oil, chamomile, sweet almond, camellia, Aloe Vera and evening
primrose oil, amongst a whole host of other skin boosting ingredients, and quite
frankly it’s my favourite product I own!
As you can tell, I rely heavily on natural oils in my skin
care routine, and I also prefer natural, non-irritating and paraben free
products. REN’s synthetic retinoid even fits into this category, and I can’t
recommend their products enough. So far, I’m also getting along well with Malin+ Goetz’s Lip Moisturiser, another oil rich product.
I definitely need an anti-ageing eye and face serum to add
to this line-up, so I’ll be doing my research in the next few weeks. If you
have any suggestions, I’d love to hear them!
What are your fail-safe products this Spring?
