New additions to my morning skincare routine

New additions to my morning skincare routine

Now I don’t know about you. But I’m a self confessed skincare addict. Even before I was blogging about beauty and skincare, I’d forever be on the lookout for the new wonder wonders that would boost my complexion. And even know, as a blogger, one of the biggest perks is getting to try different products month in, month out. So seeing as my routine can change a lot, I thought it was about time to share with you all some new additions to my morning skincare routine.

So let’s start with the cleanser. And this Caudalie Vinopure Purifying Gel Cleanser. Now if you want an in depth review, you can read my one here from September. Or if you prefer the shorter version, read on. Designed for those of us with combination skin. This cleanser is enriched in natural salicylic acid, grapeseed polyphenols and organic essential oils. Which work together to cleanse and purify your skin without leaving it dry. I find the gel texture leaves my skin feeling fresh and clean. Plus it’s helping to keep my oil levels down during the day – which is a huge bonus for me.

Next up is this Pixi Rose Tonic. Now as a big fan of the original glow tonic, it’s taken a lot to switch out the original for the rose version. But since I have, I’ve not look back. Working to balance pH, minimise redness and calm skin. I find this tonic leaves my skin feeling super soft and hydrated after using it. You can find the Rose Tonic here.

Now let’s move onto eye creams, and the Niod Fractionated Eye-Contour Concentrate Serum. Combining a huge 28 clinical technologies that target signs of ageing around the eye area, including dark circles, puffiness and fine lines. It’s formulated with Hyaluronic Acid, offering both short and long term benefits by filling wrinkles and boosting elasticity. And I find it works wonders on brightening up my eye area in the morning. You can find it here.

Next up is the Ark Skin Perfectors Radiance Serum. Now Ark are a brand that I’ve been trying a lot of this year. And they’re fast becoming one of my favourite skincare brands. And with stand out products like this serum it’s easy to see why. Enriched with essential amino acids and oils, I find this nourishing serum both softens and brightens my skin. Plus, if I mix a couple of drops in with my foundation, I get the healthy glow that we could all do with at this time of year! You can find the serum here.

And finally, the Skin Soothing cream from Dermalogica. I’m not sure I’ve ever tried a product from Dermalogica that I didn’t love. And this skin soothing cream is no exception. It’s my daily moisturiser and the only one that I rely on to re-hydrate my fine lines and relieve any tightness. Find out more here.

So there you have it. The new additions to my morning skincare routine. Let me know in the comments any recommendations you have for the products I should be trying.

    It sounds like you had added some great additions to your morning routine! I have to admit I have been rubbish with my skincare lately and my skin is really suffering, your post has given me a much needed nudge to step it up! xx

    I’m really quite envious that you have your skincare routine nailed, I’m still finding my feet with products

    I really wish I had a morning skincare routine but my life is so hectic in the morning. I do like a pamper in the evening though
