#AD: Following on from what I posted yesterday, a big part of creating a simple yet effective routine is finding the right ingredients for *your* skin. 🧖🏽♀️✨ Over the past few months I have almost completely changed my AM and PM routines and I now keep it pretty simple with just a few key ingredients that do the most 💥 for my skin without needing too many products/steps. @officialmedik8 have recently had a beautiful makeover 😍 and while I very much appreciate the new eco-conscious 🌿 packaging (over 300,000 plastic parts have been removed 🙏🏽), I LOVE their new “CSA” philosophy which is all about creating a simplified routine using vitamin C and Sunscreen during the day and vitamin A in the evening. 🍊☀️💎 This approach suits me perfectly as I truly believe less is more when it comes to taking care of the skin and these ingredients have been a big part of my routines for years. So far my faves are the Crystal Retinal 10 (obviously), the C-Tetra Serum and Physical Sunscreen (no white cast on me). These three now form the core of my simple, but very effective routines and I can’t wait to tell you more about what I’m using now because my skin is the happiest it’s been in a long time. ☺️ Until then, I’d love to know what ingredients you use the most. Which ones are your favourites? Do you use Vitamin A and C plus sunscreen daily? Could you keep your routines this simple/consistent? 🤓

On the blog now: my latest article for @victoriahealth is live and it’s something I have been thinking about for months and I would love to hear your thoughts on it. 🤓😅 Clearly, we are all passionate about skincare in this community, but is our “hobby” doing more damage than good? In my absence I took a step back from regularly reviewing products and in that time I rediscovered my love for simplicity and consistency. 🙌🏽 As a blogger it can be hard to resist every new launch, but the effects of constantly testing new products meant my skin was more hard to manage because there was not enough balance. Not only that, besides product fatigue being very real 😴💤, I worry about the fine line between sharing information on products I love and promoting unrealistic and unnecessary consumerism. 💸 In the post I share the tips that helped me take control of my skin AND stash, and so far I’m very happy with the results. Click the link in my bio to read more and please let me know what your approach to skincare is. Are your daily routines elaborate or simple? Is your stash overflowing or minimal? Do you feel like you’re missing out if you don’t buy every new launch? ❤️
Happy hump day! 🙃 I have a lot of “content” on my camera roll that I haven’t had a chance to share yet and I thought it was high time I posted about this gorgeous place. 😍🙌🏽🏡 I am still completely in love with the apartment by @thelinenyc after my visit in March and I can’t wait to go back as the setup is changed regularly with new pieces and brands. Everything about the space was perfection and I think this is such a cool shopping concept. 💸Everything you see can be purchased and they had a lot of great beauty, skincare and fragrance brands (swipe left).👌🏽 Not only that, I wanted to take this opportunity to say a big hello to all of you out there! 🙋🏽♀️ I’ve been having some interesting conversations about Instagram, the skincare community and PR-focused accounts etc lately and I have sooooo many thoughts and feelings about it all 😅, but ultimately it seems like so many of us miss how it used to be. I don’t know what we can do to get back to the “good old days” and if it’s even possible, but I do know that more kindness and tolerance would go a long way to making this space feel more like a welcoming/fun community again. 🙏🏽 I know I’m not on here as much at the moment and I am trying to find my way back to posting regularly again, I promise. 📲 I don’t know if anyone will see this (algorithm 🙄) or if anyone reads captions anymore, but thank you to everyone that’s stuck with me in my absence and I’d love to hear your thoughts on the changes on here. 😘❤️
#AD: 💎 Meet the newest gem 😉 in my nighttime routines, @officialmedik8’s Crystal Retinal 10, which has launched today. 😍✨ I have been using this 3x a week for over 4 weeks and I am loving the results so far. It contains a potent yet gentle derivative of Vitamin A called Retinaldehyde that works 11x faster in the skin than classic forms of retinol⚡️without causing the usual side effects like redness, sensitivity and flaky skin. 👌🏽 Not only that, it also has excellent antibacterial properties and over time will help reduce the presence of P. Acnes (the bacteria responsible for blemishes), which means if you are at that age where you are fighting acne AND wrinkles then this is the perfect product for you. 🙌🏽 This serum has helped me seriously streamline my evening routine because it has such a lovely creamy texture (almost like a light moisturizer), so it’s all I need and it has worked perfectly for my combo skin. It feels hydrating (it contains hyaluronic acid) yet silky and when I wake up in the morning my skin is comfortable, balanced and happy. ☺️ If you are new to Vitamin A or want to step up your retinol game then I can not recommend this enough. It will help with everything from wrinkles and acne to dark spots and textural issues. There are two strengths, Crystal Retinal 6 (£59) and Crystal Retinal 10 (£79), so even if you have sensitive skin this should still work well for you. I have so much more to say about this and will get it up on the blog once I’ve used it for another month, but if you want to know more now you can check out the @officialmedik8 page for info.💎
