Current Skincare Favourites


1. LA ROCHE-POSAY EFFACLAR PURIFYING CLEANSING GEL  This is your basic daily cleanser that is soap-free, alcohol-free, and oil-free. It has salicylic acid, which helps clean out and tighten the pores. It also keeps your skin pH balanced at 55. 

2. CLINIQUE CLARIFYING LOTION 3  This stuff makes your skin feel squeaky clean, but not dry and tight. It whisks away pore-clogging oil and flakes in one fell swoop. I've used for a few months now and love it!
 
3. LA ROCHE-POSAY THERMAL SPRING WATER  Although this step isn't necessary, it's a simple luxury that I feel makes a difference. This stuff is jam packed full of anti-oxidants and it's the perfect prep for additional treatments. I feel like it puts moisture back in my skin that has been pulled out through washing and toning. Because of the super fine mist it sprays, it's also a great mid-day refresher!

4. ORIGINS GINZING REFRESHING EYE CREAM  While I'm letting my serum really sink in, I go ahead and apply my eye cream. Between the caffeine it contains and it's pearlized color, it doesn't let under eye bags stand a chance. This is another thing in my routine that has stayed consistent for the past couple of months.

5.  LA ROCHE-POSAY EFFACLAR DUO  This stuff is so, so good. I will never go without. It has benzoyl peroxide to eliminate acne-causing bacteria and micro-exfoliating LHA, which refines pores and provides precise exfoliation. I use this as a spot treatment when needed. It's gentle and reduces breakouts in a flash. Have been using it for ages now, and absolutely love it.

6.  EMMA HARDIE CLEANSING BALM The cleansing balm itself is contains moringa seed extract, wild sea fennel and vitamin E to minimize the appearance of pores. Orange, Neroli and Mandarin extracts to rejuvenate and revitalise and Jasmine, Cedarwood and Rose to help re-hydrate and re-condition dry or dull skin. It also claims to be very calming on sensitive skin too. I really like the smell of the cleanser, it smells really fresh and natural (none of that strong artificial stuff).

  1. I bought the effaclar Duo after I saw the amount of beauty blogger who have sworn by it but I have been pretty casual about using it TBH... I must start focusing on it more cause there is obv a reason why everyone else is saying that its so good! Great post xx
