I’m a huge fan of Vitamin C and my morning routine will never be without it. I love a hydrating, lightweight serum that plumps my skin as well as brightens it. Vitamin C is a great antioxidant that helps to even out my skin tone, reduce fine lines and wrinkles and it also increases the effectiveness of sunscreen!
And lastly, SPF. A step that should never be skipped - summer or winter. This particular formula has been a favourite of mine for a long time. It’s a mineral sunscreen with great consistency and no white cast. Reef-friendly and non-nano, it’s also suitable for the most sensitive of skin. Always remember to use an appropriate amount of sunscreen - I suggest using 2 finger lengths for your face.
I’ve started to include retinol in my nighttime routine as I get older and have seen great results (but you have to be consistent with it). It’s the number one ingredient that is proven to reverse signs of fine lines and wrinkles. I apply it all over my face, but avoid the eye area so that I don’t get too much irritation. Always remember to use an SPF in the morning.
An eye cream is another recent addition to my routine and one that I have seen great results with. The skin around your eye area is very thin and sensitive so it’s important that you choose a formula that is gentle and fragrance-free. Antipodes Kiwi Seed Oil eye cream is just that and I absolutely love it.
Since my skin is on the drier side I could never go without an oil in the evening. Inlight Face Oil is a perfect consistency, has the most amazing scent and is just a complete joy to use. I incorporate their Gua Sha Amethyst Stone for extra depuffing and the ultimate self-care experience.
