Skincare Routine (Updated in time for Autumn/Winter)✨
I can’t believe that I haven’t shared my updated Skincare routine in three whole years (you can read it here). To be quite honest, I have only started taking proper care of my skin a few months ago; maybe it’s the fact that I have realized that I am now closer to my 30’s and I’m not getting any younger.
The truth is that I pay much more attention to my skin than ever but it hasn’t always been this way. In the day-to-day craziness, I used to be lazy, because I was either in a hurry or tired and end up putting skin care aside.
Not to take that risk, I decided to invest some time finding some kickass products to help me enjoy taking care of my skin. I am not going to lie, it did take me a while to find the right products but I have finally got the dream team.
My routine is pretty simple, it consists of using a few essential products in the morning & night: a liquid soap, to leave the skin very clean, a day cream, a night cream and a serum.LUNA 2 for Combination Skin by Foreo (here)
This one is a game-changer! I normally use this with my Argan Oil Cleansing oil for around 2-minutes on a daily basis and the results are very visible. My skin feels radiant, even-toned and with a healthy glow every morning, it also feels amazingly relaxing which helps me get centered just before bed.
Argan+ Argan Oil Skin Awakening Cleansing Oil (here)
Even though it is oil based it gives my skin an amazing oil control and deep cleansing feel. It is infused with precious Argan Oil and antioxidant-rich Olive Oil, which helps to promote that healthy complexion whilst thoroughly cleansing and unclogging pores. I love washing my face with it because it leaves the skin feeling soft and pampered – the foam helps a lot in controlling greasiness as well. Apply a generous amount to already clean hands and massage gently into the skin. Add water to transform the oil into a rich milk (just like magic), rinse off thoroughly and your skin will feel free of any dirt/pollution and traces of makeup. I use this to clean my face both morning and night.Vichy Liftactiv Supreme: Normal to combination day cream (here)
This is now my favorite day cream. It absorbs very well into my skin and leaves it feeling like baby skin. It definitely keeps my skin moisturized for much longer than other products. Big Thumbs UP!
Vichy LiftActiv Night Anti-Wrinkle & Firming cream (here)
My nights have become so much more luxurious since starting using this night cream. I just love having my long shower using Grapefruit & Mandarin body wash from Elemental Herbology, rinsing my face and adding a few touches of this product. It makes my skin look glowy instantly and really gives that pampered feeling. Not to mention how the skin looks when you wake up: F.L.A.W.L.E.S.S. It has everything that your skin needs to rejuvenate and regenerate for a younger, and more radiant looking skin.
Cool fact: The formula is enriched with Rhamnose, a naturally derived active ingredient found in a Brazilian plant, and leaves the skin feeling velvety smooth.
Vichy Minéral 89 Skin Booster (here)
This is my little baby! It delivers an intensive hydration alongside unparalleled protection against daily pollutants as well as visible effects of stress and fatigue – I absolutely love applying it on my expression lines. The addition of Hyaluronic Acid makes this a potent weapon (am I talking about a battlefield? lol). Jokes aside, a little amount of this product goes a long way and creates a completely transparent veil, which instantly delivers a plumping and toning effect without feeling heavy, sticky or greasy.
Free from fragrance and oil. Dermatologically tested on sensitive skin and allergy tested.Once I’m done with my skincare routine, I light my favorite Wanderlust Dream Candle from Crabtree & Evelyn and I’m ready for a good night sleep!
Note: most of the products I mentioned are “dermocosmetics”, which mean that they are products that have properties and technologies that will take care of your skin more deeply. Because of this, they tend to be a little more expensive than the products you see at your local shops but they really are worth the investment for those who want to take good care of their skin.
But now I want to hear from you: which products do you like to use to care for your skin? Let me know in the comments below!
