Pat's Skincare Rituals

This is my favourite morning cleanser lately. It’s a gentle, non-active cleanser that leaves my skin feeling soft, calm and rested. It helps to remove any impurities and oiliness from the night before and my skin never feels tight or dry!

I love to layer products and add moisture as much as I can so this is one of my favourite steps. This multi-action treatment can be used as a hydrator, toner and a lightweight moisturiser. It’s a joy to use as it plumps and hydrates and also helps to prep my skin for the next steps.

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!

Now for more moisture! My dry skin loves an oil in the morning. This delicate and ultra-lightweight blend of nutrients and antioxidants helps to restore moisture and keeps skin plump and hydrated. It’s great at boosting radiance and it leaves my skin super healthy and radiant looking!

I absolutely love this gel-to-cream sorbet moisturiser from Caudalie. It’s perfect in the morning as it’s not too thick and my skin feels immediately hydrated and comfortable after using it. It’s a must-have for those summer months too.

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.

Cleansing your skin in the evening is vital. Double cleansing is a must in my routine as I wear sunscreen every day. This Odacite cleanser is a recent favourite of mine. It’s fantastic at dissolving and removing makeup and it leaves my skin feeling extra plump! Love.

A second cleanse I like to incorporate in my evening routine is the same as my morning cleanse. This OSKIA cleanser is so gentle and has a milky texture that helps to remove any leftover dirt, grime and makeup and leaves my skin feeling soft, calm and rested.

My nighttime routine also includes my favourite hydrating spray from Josh Rosebrook. It’s a cult favourite amongst skincare fanatics and I got all my friends to try it out too. It’s a bestseller for a reason, trust me.

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.

To finish and lock all that moisture in, this overnight balm has been my saviour. My dry skin drinks it up! The unique balm-to-oil texture provides immediate and long-lasting moisture and it’s a fast-absorbing, pillow-friendly formulation so you’re safe to sleep without feeling too oily or greasy.
