SKINCARE | for hot and humid summers

items I live in a beachside town in reigonal Queensland in Australia. It’s taken me 5 years to figure out the best products for my skin as it soaks up vitamin D, sea water and a lot of (sweet potato farm) dust.

(they actually clean you) cleansers
All time favourite cleanser! Smells amazing, super effective and the spout dispenses a very reasonable amount of gel, so you don’t use more than you need!
Balancing Cleansing Gel Gentle, Purifying Gel Cleanser
I love this cleanser. Gel’s are my favourite because I feel as though you get more bang for your buck compared to a foaming or oil cleanser. I just with this one has a spout on top to help control over-use.
Juicy Gel | Gentle Balancing Cleanser
Gives you the glow you need! I love the mix of physical and chemical exfoliant because after a lot of time outside, you sometimes need a proper scrub!
2-in-1 Resurfacing Exfoliant Dual Action Exfoliator
I love this cleanser from AESOP. Their scents are so so nice, and as someone who prefers a gel cleanser, this one is great
Fabulous Face Cleanser
(fun but useful) toners
My ultimate toner (because it’s more then just rose smelling water)
Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray
A toner with a bit more oomf
LANEIGE Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Revitalizing Toner
Go-To have an excellent range of exfoliating toners for different skin types! Jump onto their website to see the three different toners and choose the one that’s best for you 🤍
Glow Exfoliator | Balancing Acid Toner
(effective and nice smelling) serums
An excellent vitamin c serum!! Vitamin c can be so confusing sometimes, but this one’s a goodie (and not at all sticky, yay)
Much Brighter Skin | Brightening Vitamin C Serum
This is a beautiful vitamin a serum that’s retinol free! Perfect for pregnant and breastfeeding mums who still want to stay on top of a little bit of anti ageing 🌺
Vitamin A Elixir Certified Organic Retinal Serum
(very light but hydrating) moisturisers
This moisturiser is so lightweight and hydrating! I live in a really hot and humid climate, so I need something that doesn’t make me sweat more when I have it on. This is it!
Buy LANEIGE Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Moisture Cream Refillable
My other go-to (literally) lightweight moisturiser for when the humidity is at 110%. Bonus points for a subtle but cute scent!
Very Lightweight Moisturiser | Hydrating Gel Cream | Go-To Skin Care
(always use it) spf
This is a great everyday sunscreen! Not trying too hard to be anything special, but a lighter formula for the face. Best for days when you don’t have a lot of make up on!
Hydrating Daily SPF | Nifty Fifty Sunscreen Protection
An excellent liquid sunscreen to wear under make up! No stickyness either, yay
Buy La Roche Posay Anthelios Invisible Fluid SPF 50+ 50ml online at Chemist Warehouse
something tinted
This is my go-to for when I want something lightly tinted on top of my skin care. Light weight and comfortable to wear
Summer Fridays Sheer Skin Tint 30ml (Various Shades)
The best foundation for people who don’t like to wear foundation!! Its stands on its own and doesn’t need bronzer/blush to look good. It’s a medium coverage, so it looks like you’re not wearing anything, my freckles are still visible with it on which...
Stretch Fluid Foundation | Glossier
The BEST primer. Leaves your skin so soft and smooth, ready for your make up
So Blown Pore-Minimizing & Hydrating Collagen Peptide Primer with Niacinamide - caliray | Sephora
(balms and glosses) lips
Worth the price tag. This is a balm that doesn’t leave your lips even drier (like Burt’s bees 👀) if you’re in Australia, you can get this from Mecca 😊
Balm Dotcom | Glossier
For when you want something nourishing and glossy 👄
Lip Glowy Balm | Laneige
(smells good) deodorant
Smells very natural and actually works!
Déodorant Roll-On
Smells like Santal 33!
