Today's blog post comes to you from my bed, I'm sitting here drinking my morning coffee (black 1 sugar) kids are downstairs making their own breakfast (shock horror) and I am preparing myself for the madness that will be day 5 of the Easter half term. As a little side note I also have a client today just adding to the chaos :)
I think it's very important for me as a mum, to make room for the little things that make me feel good, one of them is my Skincare routine. Today will be a roundup of my morning Skincare routine and will in due time post full reviews of the products I use. To start with I keep my main routine very simple and do not change it too much as this can upset your skin, it does take up to 6 weeks for your skin to settle into a new routine so bare this in mind when you are thinking about changing products, also my skin is slight combination, dehydrated in the same places I'm slightly oily (through the T zone) these products suit me but might not be right for your particular skin.
Let's get to it !!
Fist up from actiderm is the micellar lotion, this is a gentle cleansing water that does not require a toner so quick and simple for the morning, I don't feel I need a deep cleanse in the morning so this product is perfect for that, it cost £13.50 and I went to an actiderm Skincare party to get it (amongst other products which I will post about later)
Right next up is my Monu beauty balm, it is 'a classic creamy balm that provides instant radiance' and it sure does, it is a light moisturiser perfect for daytime but you must use an SPF product with it which is why I follow with the Monu illuminating primer SPF 15, the first time I combined these products a friend said to me ' my god your skin looks amazing' well that's all the proof I needed to carry on. I feel like these 2 products give me a perfect base for any makeup especially my bare minerals. The two came in a box set from Monu along with a couple of other products which I use in the eve, for around £50, for 4 products I thought that was pretty good.I must add I use Monu Skincare as my professional Skincare products in my home salon.
EYE CREAM now there's a thing I believe you need to just give the right moisture under your eyes so I don't use my beauty balm under there I go in with my boots 'youth maintain replenishing eye cream' mainly because it is light and has a subtle glow to it so even under the primer and make up I feel it helps brighten under my eyes. It just feels nice and is easy to apply, just a small amount on my ring finger small circular motions and patting, done.
Next is a hand cream, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this product it smells amazing, it's thick but not sticky or oily, it soaks into my hands beautifully, it leaves them feeling so soft the list is endless I just love it,. The product is wild fig and grape enriching hand and nail cream by di palomo. I picked it up in our local 'between the lines' shop for about £9 yes a little extravagant but I use this morning and just before bed and just think it's lovely.
Right I best finish my coffee and make sure the kids aren't painting my living room, tackle the day ahead, get ready to go to a friends for a couple of cheeky wines and a takeaway tonight. A perfect end to a mad week :)
Lots of love
Mrs G
