SKINCARE FAVOURITES
Happy Wednesday!
I wanted to share the number one thing I love to do after a long day of work is taking my makeup off and do my skincare routine. You could have as much makeup in the world but taking care of your skin first is the secret to having flawless makeup. Splurging on skincare is so worth it to me because our skin is our biggest organ and just like we take care of our insides we need to make sure we are doing the same for our skin on the outside!
Here are some of my favourite skincare products at the moment
It is very important to start off your skincare routine with a facial spray/elixir. Spraying a facial mist before putting on your products will really help absorb all the nutrients and prep your skin.
I love this one from Mario Badescu because it contains not only aloe which is soothing for the skin but also cucumber which also helps with long-lasting hydration.
This is my all time favourite primer/moisturizer at the moment. I received a sample size of this and had to go back to Sephora to purchase the full size. It is so hydrating that some days when I am feeling lazy I just put this on to replace my moisturizer.
It does have a blurring effect so it can be worn by its self for a healthy looking glow. It smells like coconuts and has a shimmer but more of a "glow from within" look.
At first, when I saw this come out I was a little hesitant about this, what happened to just applying lip balm or vaseline on your lips before bed? Boy was I wrong, this is such a must for me. I picked up a little travel size when I was in the line at Sephora and I cannot get enough of this! Every night I look forward to putting this on my lips.
This lip mask is filled with berry flavours and includes vitamin C and antioxidants, while also having a "moisture wrap" that actually puts a little film over your lips to reduce flakiness and when you wake up your lips are so hydrated and plumped.
We need to just take a moment for this mask.... little did I know this mask would become a staple in my skincare routine. The jet lag mask is a hydrating mask that you can wear to bed, around the house, under your makeup, seriously you can wear it whenever and where ever you go!
The mask has a peppermint/cooling effect on the skin which feels so good after doing your nighttime routine. Not to mention the ingredients are picture perfect, there are ceramides, vitamins, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory ingredients to help dull and tired skin. I put this on my face every night before I go to bed and wake up with no dry skin and a perfect glow.
Putting on eye cream is very important, especially at a young age. You always want to keep the under eye hydrated and nourished. I get 7-8 hours of sleep every night but I still get dark circles around my eyes. I decided to try an eye cream and I've heard amazing reviews on the midnight recovery.
I've been applying it every night underneath my eyes for about 2 weeks now, and I definitely have noticed a difference. The darkness has lightened up and my eyes are not puffy in the morning.
I stumbled across this product wondering around Winners one day and it really caught my eye. Who doesn't want to have Jlo glowing legs when they go out? I immediately picked up a tube of this. I was shocked by how amazing this product was- it is truly a gloss (a little goes a long way) and gives you the most amazing shine.
I was so impressed with this product I went the same day and got a second bottle for backup because it was so good. I know sometimes when you find something at Winners you never see it again, I made sure I can get my hands on more. Skinny Tan has a website and Instagram but you can also find them on Amazon or on ASOS.
My last and most important tip is to always drink water throughout the day! We need to keep our bodies hydrated and it makes a world of a difference for our skin!
Let me know your skincare favourites because I am always on the lookout for new products!
Have a great rest of the week!
