No nonsense spring skincare staples AM/PM
Coming out of winter, my skin has gone through it all: dull, dry, and just generally not thriving. After a few years of living in the UK (and coming from a tropical climate), I’ve slowly figured out the exact combination of products that bring my skin back to life when the cold hits. I’m a big believer in simple, no-nonsense skincare — preferably fragrance-free and focused on hydration. I’m also in my late 20s and still get ID’d more often than I expect, which I’ll take as a sign that this routine has been doing something right. Most of the products on this list are actually things I started using back when I was a student on a budget. They’re all accessible in price, easy to find, and the kind of staples I keep repurchasing because they genuinely work — especially when my skin needs a little extra help during the UK winter.
