Face wash and cleansers
The best for sensitive skin.
I've tried everything. I have contact dermatitis and eczema, and this affects the skin on my face, which is combination dry and oily.
This is the best face wash I have found that cleanses thoroughly but also leaves my s...
L'Oreal Paris Fine Flowers Gel-Cream Wash Sensitive 150ml | Skin
Used on rotation with a face wash, this cleansing balm has been a great addition to my skincare routine to deep clean my pores and brighten my complexion.
Although Vitamin C can be harsh on my skin, I find this balm is gentle enough for a deep clean...
Vitaskin Vitamin C Cleansing Balm
Although im only a baby at 34, I find this cleanser to be really gentle but effective. I use this when I dont have access to face washing facilities (camping, festivals, etc).
The milk leaves skin feeling fresh and soft, and i find it doesn't irrit...
Age Perfect Smoothing & Anti Fatigue Vitamin C Cleansing Milk
Toners
First step after cleansing. I used this light toner on damp skin out of the shower. I replaced the cap with a spray cap and press a little into the skin.
Overall, I find the appearance of skin is brighter, and fine lines appear reduced over time. I...
Revitalift Hyaluronic Acid Face Toner | L'Oréal Paris ...
The newest but permanent addition to my skincare after toning. I've seen a drastic improvement in pore size and a softening of skin texture.
Lasts a couple of months if used sensibly.
Garnier Pure Active Salicylic Skin Perfecting Liquid Care 120ml
Used as a toner after cleansing on the face and also as a face mask base with bentonite clay.
Can be used all over the body and face and is moisturising and soothing.
Glycerin – Rosewater
Serums
This has been a staple in my routine for years, and I use it morning and evening in my routine. One pump after my serums and before my main moisturiser.
It's silky and smooth and leaves my skin feeling soft and dewy. The best thing is that it absor...
total effects moisturiser and serum duo spf20
Must buy if you use hyaluronic acid or niacinamide on a regular basis. Instead of buying expensive serums that often only last a month or two, I purchase this serum and use it as an alternative. The 500ml was less than £8 and lasts me over a year for...
Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum 60ml - Professional Anti Ageing And Youthfu
It is a nice product that I used to heal and protect my skin barrier.
It is a slightly strange consistency that needs to be worked in, but once absorbed, it feels nice and light on the skin. Used after serums but before moisturiser.
Peptides
A nice serum to layer on top of other serums and moisturisers. Creates a moisture barrier to lock products in while also softening skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines.
Nice product, but too much can leave skin oily. As a botox user, I ca...
Flysmus Botox Bee Venom Firming Serum Stick
Moisturisers
NIGHTTIME
Oldie but goldie
I use this on my face of a night when my skin is feeling extra dry. It's thick and heavy, but that's exactly why I love it. Its locks in all the moisture from your products and gives an overall deep blast of moisture. It ...
Astral Intensive Moisturiser Original 500ml | Skin
It's cheap and actually works
No frills, but I absolutely love this. It's really nice and has a thick but soft consistency, absorbs quickly, and leaves skin looking and feeling dewy. Actually, it stands up to high-end brands, and I often use this in...
Tiger Moon Youthful Collagen Day Cream SPF 20 50ml
A little pricey but a little goes a long way, I find. I use it in the morning.
No7 Protect & Perfect Intense ADVANCED Day Cream SPF15 50ml
It's one of my absolute favourites. Always come back to this, especially in the summer. Makes skin soft and gives a very nice dewy look. A little goes a long way, so can last a good 2/3 months if using it once per day.
Boots Collagen Day Cream SPF30 50ml
Speciality skincare products
Mixed with rose and glycerin to make a wet paste and then used as a one per week treatment facial mask.
I find once per week is plenty for a deep clean and to minimise pores.
It can get everywhere, though, so do it when you have time! The tub is a ...
Bentonite Clay | Natural Supplies | Pure Quality Diatomaceous Earth
Used as a skin treatment after home derma rolling or microdermabration. Often left on skin overnight but needs a deep cleanser to remove.
PraNaturals 100% Organic Shea Butter 300ml
Great for dry and eczema prone skin. I use this when needed, not consistently. Often on hairline but also around ears and nose where skin suffers.
Scalp Repair Cream 120g
4 drops in my moisturiser for a bit of a glow, only really used in winter, but as drops go, these are my favourite so far and reasonably priced.
St Moriz Original Concentrated Tanning Drops
Really nice facial treatment. I use it a few times per month and leave on clear skin overnight and wash off in the morning.
An unusual smell and more natural and earthy than fresh. A little goes a long way and well priced for longevity and quality.
Oils, Balms & Teas - NintuSentu
It's a little pricey but so worth it. Used once per week and left on overnight, this can last months. The consistency is thick but absorbs quickly and is very cooling on the skin. Skin feels glowing in the morning.
No7 Instant Results Nourishing Hydration Mask 100ml
Eyes
Stunning, and does what it says on the tin. It's a thicker eye cream than I'm used to but goes on like a dream. I don't use much Avon at all, but keep going back to this.
Anew Platinum Lift & Tighten Dual Eye System - 2 x 10ml | Skincare
Lips 💋
Stunning and does a great job. Smells fit.
Softens Smooths Lip Balm
Best for winter. Very intensive. Functional but no frills.
Neutrogena® Norwegian Formula SPF 20 Lip Balm
