Avène A-Oxitive Smoothing Water Cream:

Avène products have been a staple in my routine for many years now, as the range is targeted towards sensitive skin it's a brand that I trust and can always fall back on no matter what I have going on with my skin at any given time. 

I am a big fan of their A-Oxitive line and I like that whilst I am getting the active ingredients that I believe my skin needs, it's also suited for my sensitive and sometimes reactive skin.

One of the latest products I have added to my routine is the Smoothing Water Cream, I use the serum in this same range in the mornings and like using this on top of it underneath my sunscreen. As I have combination skin I am always worried about layering too many products on my skin but as this is super lightweight it just absorbs beautifully into my skin keeping it hydrated.

It contains a blend of Gradual Release Vitamin C and Vitamin E for antioxidant protection and over time helps to brighten the skin as well as Hyaluronic Acid for hydration. I love the glow this product gives my skin and how easily it has fit into my everyday routine, I have been using a lot of products from the A-Oxitive range lately and have loved everything I have tried. They have made great additions to my daily routine.

Frank Body Perky Sculpting Body Hydrator:

I have tried a lot of beauty products over the years and when it comes to body care products I am pretty good at knowing whether or not I will like the product after the first use, with this product from Frank Body I instantly knew it would be a firm favourite and it has been by my side ever since either by my desk or in my bag ever since I first tried it.

It has a thicker creamier type consistency to it which I normally stray away from in body products but in this case, I love the extra hit of nourishment it gives my skin, it also absorbs beautifully without leaving any sort of residue behind.

It contains Caffeine to firm, Acai for a dose of antioxidants and a blend of ingredients that help to keep the skin moisturised and nourished. It's scented with Vanilla Frosting and although I am not normally a fan of sweet scents this a beautiful, light but not overly sweet scented cream which I really love.

I am very fussy when it comes to my body products and this product ticks all my boxes and I now want to have a few of them on the go for wherever I am.

The Peel By Scott + Sullivan:

I have used a couple of products from The Clinic and have always loved them so when I found out about their latest launch The Peel I knew it would be an immediate favourite, as the name suggests it's an at-home peel product that can be used once a week to exfoliate and resurface your skin. Exfoliating forms a huge part of my beauty routine and this product has easily fit into my weekly regime.

It contains a blend of 10% AHA's to resurface your skin alongside Jojoba Beads that dissolve as you use them to slough away dead skin cells, Activated Charcoal draws out impurities and a host of calming ingredients such as Aloe Vera work to soothe the skin.

I haven't had a facial treatment in quite some time now so this has been great to use at home to give my skin a good hit of exfoliation on a weekly basis, after using this product it gave my skin a beautiful glow and I noticed a big difference in the overall texture and tone of my skin. 

I like following it up with The Moisturiser from The Clinic and when using any sort of exfoliating product I always wear an SPF on a daily basis.

Burt's Bees Overnight Intensive Lip Treatment and Burt's Bees Conditioning Lip Scrub:

My lips are probably the most neglected area when it comes to my beauty routine but when the weather gets colder I can definitely notice that my lips become quite chapped, I have been using these two products from Burt's Bees and in conjunction with each other they have worked wonders.

I start off by using the scrub which uses a mix of Oils and Exfoliating Honey Crystals which work together to slough away any dead skin cells and dry skin, The lip scrub also forms a perfect base for the Overnight Intensive Lip Treatment to go on top of.

The Overnight Intensive Lip Treatment contains a blend of Ceramides and Oils that help to moisturise the lips and support the skins natural barrier, the things I love most about this product, in particular, is how well it absorbs into my lips and doesn't leave them feeling overly sticky or greasy which is what I try to steer away from when it comes to lip treatments.

Both products have easily fit into my beauty routine and have made me want to pay extra attention to my lip area.


Murad Vita-C Eyes Dark Circle Corrector:

I have unfortunately had dark circles under my eyes for as long as I can remember so I am always looking for products to help combat the issue, I have been using this eye cream from Murad for the past few weeks now and I can honestly say it has made a huge difference to my under eye area.

It contains Light-Reflecting Micro-Minerals that instantly makes your eye area brighter and look more awake whilst a blend of Gold Stabilized Vitamin C, Red and Brown Algae Extracts, and Cucumber work to brighten and smooth the area over time.

I like using Vitamin C during the day as a part of my skincare routine but it's also nice having a product like this one that is especially targeted to my eye area, as I am now in my thirties it's an area that I am starting to pay extra attention too and this product has been a great addition to my routine.

Mádara Vitamin C Illuminating Recovery Cream:

Vitamin C is one of my personal favourite skincare ingredients and I am always looking for ways to incorporate it into my routine, the latest addition to my skincare regime is this cream from Mádara which contains a stabilised form of Vitamin C that provides the skin with a hit of antioxidants whilst over time will help to brighten your complexion. I find this cream really good at giving my skin a bit of a perk up when needed, it also contains Hyaluronic Acid for an extra dose of hydration.

I am really glad to of discovered this product and it has made a great addition to my beauty routine.
