Current Skincare Favourites

I'm currently fighting off a serious case of holiday blues and I can't believe how long it has been since I've posted on here! Even though I'm far more active on Twitter and Instagram these days, I still like to sit down now and then and write (Just like the good ol' blogging days) Skincare is one of my favourite things to talk about, so here are a few of my current favourite products that are all suitable for all skin types! 

Origins Ginzing Energy-Boosting Tinted Moisturiser SPF 40

I have always loved using Origins skincare, as my skin seems to drink it up like no tomorrow! However, a real stand out product for me is the Origins Ginzing Tinted Moisturiser, which comes from what I think is their most popular range. I have used the Origins Ginzing Tinted Moisturiser for two years now and it’s an absolute godsend, especially when I visit Dubai. The reason I love this so much is because it feels like someone has put a light on my face, it brightens and revitalises the complexion, whilst providing important SPF protection. The coverage is very sheer, but the creamy texture blends out to a shade that perfectly matches and perfects your skin.

Key Ingredients: Coffee Beans, Panax Ginseng

Great for: All Skin Types

Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel

This product needs no real introduction apart from believe the hype! It’s pure pink loveliness and a cleanser that single handedly sorts my skin out when it’s having a bit of a mare. It’s great for a whole range of skin types, plus it’s super easy and fuss free to use. I can use this cleanser without even looking in the mirror and I love how it starts off as a wonderful pink gel that morphs into a luxurious oil and finally ends up as a nourishing milk type texture. I’m on my fourth bottle now and sometimes I swap this out for other cleansers that need using up, but seriously my skin cries for this stuff when I stop using it.

Key Ingredients: Pumpkin Enzymes, Vitamins A,C,E, MSM, Starflower Oil
Great for: All Skin Types, Particularly Combination/Dry

Garnier Skin Active 3-in-1 Hydrating Aloe Water Jelly 

I’m sure you can sympathise with me when it comes to random Boots/Superdrug splurges! You need some painkillers or deodorant, but end up coming out with half the store… YAS, that’s me. About two months ago I stumbled across Garnier whilst on one of my missions and noticed that they had released some new skincare ranges. As far as drugstore skincare goes, I do get along with Garnier quite well! The Garnier Aloe 3-in-1 is a great multiuse product that can be used as your am/pm moisturiser as well as a mask. All you need to do is use more or less depending on what kind of treatment you want. At first it took me a little while to get used to the perfume scent, but now I’m totally over it and totally loving this product. I use it as my daily moisturiser, as it’s so hydrating and creates a lovely base for my make-up, even Daniel likes it and that’s saying something! It reminds me a little of the Clinique Moisture Surge, which is another favourite of mine. The only annoying thing is the size, but on a positive note you do get a lot of product for your money.

Key Ingredients: Aloe Veram Hyaluronic

Great For: All Skin Types

Vita Liberata Body Blur HD Skin Finish Latte 

My god, why haven’t I tried this sooner? I have always really liked Vita Liberata as their products are formulated so well. I have a tanning moisturizer from them, which works better than a lot of my more expensive creams. I’ve heard all about the buzz surrounding Body Blur, but I suppose I just never really needed it until now. I decided to purchase it for my recent vacation to Dubai just to smooth out any unevenness, whilst applying it the first night I thought there is NO way this will survive 40 degree heat and crazy levels of humidity. Guess what? It sure did! I’m actually amazed by this product and can confirm it definitely lives up to the hype. A little goes a long way and it perfects your skin like no other, plus it didn’t transfer in the heat! It’s love.

Key Ingredients: Shea Butter, Glycerin, Aloe Vera

Great For: Use On Your Body/Face 

Glow Recipe Watermelon Mask

This itty-bitty little travel size has lasted me since my visit to New York in May this year. A little goes a very long way and all I can say is that it is absolutely beautiful, it probably has one of my all time favourite textures and scents. It’s bouncy, pink and smells like an absolute dream. It also works extremely well and really revives my skin, it’s so good I want to eat it half the time. I’m dying to try the daily moisturiser of this product, especially as the ingredients in this are so good for combating redness and pesky blemishes!

Key Ingredients: Watermelon Extract, Hyaluronic Acid

Great For: All Skin Types, Especially Blemish/Redness Prone Skin

Lots of Love
