The Skincare Post

Ahhh skincare my life obsession, I am constantly reading up on the latest miracle moisturiser, saviour serum or debagging/dewrinkling eye cream and I think nows the time for a new change (well it is a new year after a all-a valid excuse right??:/). I am now obsessed with space nk and have a wonderful loaded gift card waiting in my purse for me to splurge and as well as a couple of makeup bits 'n' bobs there is quite a lot of skincare that I keep adding to my ever growing list. I blame viviannadoesmakeup for this obsession I love reading her blog and her space nk updates are always my port of call before a trip there. 

This is my current skincare routine (be warned it's a long one!!) which I am loving which includes a mix of Clarins, Origins and Ren, La Roche Posay warning Alpha H and Origins heavy. If theres anything you guys want to see a full review on just let me know-I may do a video with a more indepth routine :)

Cleansers and Makeup Removers

Origins A Perfect World- I love this it has the most silky texture        and is an antioxident cleanser with white tea-so great for anti aging :) 

Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish-This already has a huge cult following and is just fab! Enough said.

Bioderma Sensibio H20 Micelle Solution-Brilliant makeup remover, so gentle and effective!

Toners

I'm not a fan of strong toners as I feel they can be a little harsh on the skin which is why I love these two from Origins, they smell gorgeous, are really refreshing on the skin and last for ages.

Origins Organics Purifying Tonic-this is great for oily skin and contains the brilliant ingredient salicylic acid-a win from me.

Origins A Perfect World Toner-This range is the white tea range packed full of anti aging :)

Serums

Origins A Perfect World White Tea Skin Guardian- This is meant to create an invisible protective bubble over your skin to protect it from the hustle and bustle of everyday. I love it I have been using it for a couple of years now and will still continue to repurchase it. Again it feels like silk on application but almost immediately sinks into the skin. It's also packed full of anti aging silver tip white tea.

Eye Cream

Sk:n Anti Aging Brightening and Firming Eye Cream- This is effective and has an amazing tightening effect on application. I saw good results after using this and it lasted a long time.

Ren-Keep Young and Beautiful Anti Ageing Eye Cream- This is very soothing around the eye area and is a much thinner consistency then the sk:n. I feel it smoothes and depuffs the eye area but the results aren't as effective anti aging wise as the sk:n

Day Moisturisers

La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo-This is an amazing moisturiser, especially for those who suffer from break outs or oily skin. It sinks into the skin so quickly and leaves a matt effect on the skin so is lovely to apply as a base before makeup. I tend to apply it to my tzone area but feel the rest of my skin could use a little more moisture.

Origins A Perfect World Moisturiser ( Shocker!!! :) ) I have been using this anti aging moisturiser for a couple of years now and I can't rave about it enough. It feels gorgeous is so soft on the skin and after recommending it to all my girls they now can't live without it :) If you haven't tried it pay them a visit, staff are always brilliant too!! They also have a version that contains spf that was my saviour when travelling and it lasts along time. 

Exfoliators

Alpha H Liquid Gold and Serum is a well known fav amongst so many beauty bloggers and I am totally onboard-it's effective, anti aging and with instant results. I alternate between the two with a break two nights of the week with a face mask and intensive night cream.  Origins modern friction and Clarins One-step gentle exfoliating cleanser my choice for daily exfoliation if my skin needs a boost. However I only use these about once a week when using alpha h liquid gold otherwise it becomes exfoliation overload-never good on the skin!!

Night Creams

By Terry Teint De Rose-This is a luxurious pick me up treatment, it can be used as a primer but I use it at night to wake up with a glowing face. It smells divine-If you like the smell of roses as all By Terry products it has that beautiful scent. It has a slight shimmer to the cream-I have inserted a piccie of this just so you can see what it looks like. Looks nice under makeup if you want a fresh faced look.

By Terry Teint De Rose

Clarins Multi-Active Night- I love this very moisturising and in no way has a greasy, heavy feel that some night creams possess. After waking up after using this my skin feels rejuvenated and so soft, it's also a great for dehydration lines :)

Face Masks
Origins drink up intensive-great for an overnight mask-moisturing and smells heavenly.
Origins Charcoal Mask -if you have problematic skin this is great-not however if you need to answer the door to the postie ;) 

On my new wish list is Emma Hardie professional cleansing system which contains her Amazing Face cleanser, Algenist moisturiser, Clarins water purify one-step cleanser, Alpha H rejuvenating cream, Clarins Pure and Radiant Mask, Ren Glycolactic Skin Renewal Peel Mask, Alpha H absolute eye complex.

What are your skincare essentials? Whats on your wish lists?

Lots of Love xxxxx
