Skin Care Guide

I’m frequently asked about skin care routine so, I’ve decided to put a little skin care guide together! Hopefully you find this useful and please contact me if you have any questions or need product advice.

STEP 1: CLEANSE
Using your fingers, rub the cleanser of your choice all over your face making sure you also reach those blemish prone areas around your nose and chin. Rinse with warm water and if you want a light exfoliation, try using a muslin cloth when removing the product.

STEP 2: TONER
Toner is so important as it finishes removing anything you missed during cleansing. Place a small amount of the product on a cotton wool pad and sweep over the face.

STEP 3: SERUM
Serums are still fairly new so many people still don’t incorporate this into their skin care routine yet. There are many different serums on the market, from anti-aging to acne prone skin but all come loaded with vitamins and nutrients and this product has the ability to really penetrate all layers of the skin.  Use a small amount and massage into the face well.

STEP 4: EYE CREAM
Eye cream is always a recommended product but a necessary one?...probably not.
If like me, you can get away with using a light moisturiser, than you can probably give eye cream a miss. If you use a rich moisturiser for anti-aging or very dry skin, these shouldn’t be applied to the sensitive eye area anyway as it can cause puffiness and damage to the sensitive skin area.
Take a tiny bit of product onto your finger and pat it lightly beneath the eye.

STEP 5: MOISTURISER
Light, rich, firming, anti-aging...whatever your choice of moisturiser, use a generous amount.

 STEP 6: SUNSCREEN

Most makeup products come with SPF in which technically means you can skip this step. However, if you really want to look after your skin, use a sunscreen for your face beneath your makeup.

STEP 7: PRIMER (prior to makeup application only)
I can’t recommend a primer enough...really really really. It helps form a protective layer between your skin and makeup and most importantly helps your makeup stay on all day. Once your moisturiser has thoroughly absorbed, using your fingers, work in a small amount of primer across your face, primarily around the T-Zone.
