Sometimes it can be hard navigating the world of skincare and products. I am often asked what the best skincare line is, what are the best products to use and what routine would be best to do.
Honestly, it will be different for every person. As much as it is about what the product does, it’s ingredients and so on, it is also about how it makes you feel as you use it. The smell, the texture of the product and how it sits on your skin and how it makes you feel is also important. That is why I also suggest having a consult with a Beauty Therapist, or having a treatment to try out the product your Therapist suggests before buying them.
However, for some who may not enjoy treatments, or cannot have them for medical reasons, that may not be an option. So, I am going to suggest some routines with some of my best loved products below, both shorter, concise routines, and longer, more indulgent routines. I hope these can shed some light and help you decide on which products to research/invest into.
