My Winter Skincare Routine
Really thrilled that you’ve been liking my skincare content that I’ve been putting out there! On my Instagram, a lot of you have been asking about my Winter skincare and makeup routine so here is a quick blog showing you all the products I use daily.
GOOD MORNING
Skincare
The first thing I do when I wake up is wash my face.
I use this C Cleansing Gel from Obagi at the moment and afterwards I apply the tonic with a cotton pad.
Then I apply the C Clarifying Serum from Obagi and tap it well into the skin followed by a small amount of Skinesis Dynamic Defence. I love this day cream as it’s not greasy and makes your skin feel nourished and protects. Even when we’re freezing our tushes out there, the sun is always out so protect those gorgeous faces with an SPF always to avoid early aging!
Last step is my Dr Dennis Gross SPF50 cream mixed with one pump of D-Bronzi from Drunk Elephant. This is a must even during the winter days and gives a nice glow.
GOOD MORNING
Makeup
My skin has gotten so much better recently (hallelujah!)… so much so that I stopped using foundation. Instead, I apply a powder I recently discovered from Colorescience, the colour I use is Natural Finish no. 20. I finish off with a Laura Mercier concealer called Flawless Fusion. Loving that natural look and way less maintenance- this is a lazy makeup girl’s dream!
Then I use a bit of the bronzer from Charlotte Tilbury and her blush Cheek to Chic.
I like a nude look during the day so the eye shadow palette Pillow Talk is best for me and I’m never without mascara ! I swear by Legendary Lashes by Charlotte Tilbury. My absolute favourite lip balm is from Sulwhasoo, have one of those in all my handbags.
Good Night
skincare & makeup removal
First things first...Cleanse ! I absolutely never go to bed without cleansing my skin.
I use the eye makeup remover Lash Boosting Eye Cleanse from Sarah Chapman which is really good (it boosts eyelash growth too- woo!), then I wipe off my makeup with a simple Micellar Water from Garnier to get anything extra off.
Afterwards I use the same face wash as the morning and about three times a week I add the Dual Action Scrub to it from ZOSkin Health.
Peels are a must to get great skin as it really helps your skin absorb all of your products and helps your skin to renew itself.
During winter season I apply the C Therapy Night Cream from Obagi (I started gradually as it can make your skin tingle in the beginning) and the Eye Cream from Endocare Cellpro. On top I apply the Hydrate Facial Moisturiser from Obagi Medical.
Hope this helps you on your journey to finding brighter skin. Let me know if you have anymore questions and always love to hear about new products if you have any recommendations for me! Keep in mind that this is what I use during these Winter months... see you for a new blog in the Spring (which can’t get here fast enough) !
All of the Obagi, Cellpro and Colorescence products can be found directly at The Mayfair Practice.
