Skincare Faves

December 10, 2017 by alice 1 Comment

When I left London in May, I also left a huge stash of makeup and skincare behind. Arriving in Australia with the bear minimum meant I had to start my skincare routine afresh – something I’ve loved doing. My new motto is to keep it simple. 
Taking my makeup off at the end of the day is honestly one of my biggest joys. It feels fantastic to be fresh faced, and I truly enjoy doing it now that I don’t have a convoluted routine or too much choice – for a long time it had felt like such a chore. I have three core products that make up my skincare routine (plus a couple of additional not-worth-a-mentions) and these form the basis of my simple, yet highly effective regime.

Every morning when I’m in the shower I use the Oskia London Renaissance Cleansing Gel to make sure my face is completely clean and free of any oils that may have formed overnight. I love using this in the shower as it really wakes me up, feels fantastic and is also just the quickest and most efficient way to cleanse when you’re in a rush. It’s a beautiful gel that melts into a balm as it’s massaged over the skin and it washes away any impurities (or stubborn makeup that wasn’t removed from the night before) with sheer ease. It’s such a gorgeous product that I love to use, and I feel it works perfectly to keep my skin tone even and clear.


Clinique is my number one for skincare at the moment, and day and night I use this little miracle worker – the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel. It’s a lightweight formula that is easily absorbed, makes my thirsty skin feel amazing and is light enough for every day use. I use the gel version which is most suitable for oilier skin types as despite having been normal to combination in the past, I’ve found since living in a hotter climate that my skin can get a little oily throughout the day.

In the evenings, I get to use my number one product, the Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm. I struggle to express how much I love this stuff, and how much joy I get from using it. It’s a fragrance free balm that turns into an oil when massaged into the skin and it effortlessly melts my makeup away. I use a warm, clean flannel to wipe the product off and am left with incredibly soft, clean skin. This stuff is my ride or die.
