My skincare routine has been all over the place this year, and I’m finally at a point where I’m starting to find a little balance. I think it’s only natural that as you get older, you’ll find yourself focusing more on investing in skincare (rather than buying the cheapest cleanser at Priceline that you can track down!), and this has never been more of a truism for me than it is now. Now that I’ve finally managed to get myself into a routine, I thought I’d share some of the beauty products which are currently sitting on my top shelf.
The Emma Hardie Amazing Face Moringa Cleansing Balm has been holy grail of mine for some time now, but it’s just a little bit pricey, and given how much Luke loves this too, we tend to go through a tub so quickly. My skin never looks better than when I’m using this, so I don’t hesitate to use this daily. It took me a while to come around to cleansing oils, but I love how nourishing this feels, while leaving my feeling fresh and clean. Definitely on the repurchase list again, already.
My skin has been pretty congested lately, which I think I can put down mostly to indulging a little bit more than usual over the festive season. It had been a long while since I’d run out of my Aesop Parsley Seed Cleansing Mask, and I was on the lookout for something new, that would combat these mini breakouts and also help to calm my skin. I’ve only had a chance to use it a few times, but I’ve been absolutely loving the Eve Lom Rescue Mask so far; the redness on my face is visibly reduced after use and and overall my skin felt cleaner and brighter. It’s a clay-based mask with some pretty effective ingredients including honey (which helps to moisturise!), ground almonds (to gently exfoliate), and my favourite, camphor, which helps to cool the skin and draw out toxins.
It gets pretty hot in Sydney during the summer time – particularly when we’re in the middle of a heat wave aka right this minute – so I try to avoid putting any heavy or thick moisturisers on my face during those warmer months. I stumbled across the Eve Lom Rescue Oil Free Moisturiser and haven’t looked back since – this is ultra lightweight on the skin, and is perfect if you have oily or combination skin like my own.
