Favourite Products this Summer
August 07, 2018
Hello all!
Here are some of the products I have being loving this
summer. It has being extremely hot in Holland which is very nice but not so nice
for the skin. I see the pigmentation come up on my skin which I didn’t have before. I think I have all my previous sun baking years
and living in Oz to thank for that. It takes 10 years+ for sun damage like hyper
pigmentation to show on the surface of the skin.
My go to skin routine this summer has been Vitamin C & Antioxidant
serum and SPF30. Weekly I have being using eye masks and sheet masks to help hydrate
the skin. I have being doing a gentle exfoliation, nothing over the top because
of the weather and I hope you know, exfoliation sensitizes the skin from the
sun so it can cause more damage.
So if you take a look at the picture above, I will explain
what I have being using and loving.

Mario
Badescu facial spray with rose water and aloe vera – This is facial
spray to help hydrate the skin throughout the day and act as a toner. I love these to freshen up throughout the day especially in this hot weather.
·
Avoyd Ingrown
hair lotion with alpha hydroxy acids – THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER USED! I have
keratosis pilaris on my arms (rough bumpy red skin) and this helps to soften
the skin and lessens the appearance of the bumps and redness. I started to use on my legs now for ingrown hairs and its really working. It takes at least 1-2
weeks to see a difference.
·
Dermaroller
– I didn’t use this a whole lot this summer but every 10 days or so to
help penetrate the vitamin C and Hyaluronic acid into my skin.
·
Murad SPF30
Vitamin C – I am loving this spf because it is light feeling and doesn’t leave
you with the white look. I bought it for the vitamin C though, as its an
important ingredient in the skin and especially in summer.
·
Weleda
Skin food – This is my go to product all year round. It is probably too
heavy as a night cream in the summer, especially with how hot it has been here
but after all the sun exposure I have applied it to my skin every now and then
as an extra dose of vitamins. Helping recover the skin.
·
Image Vitamin
C serum -I was very very impressed with this vitamin C serum. I have tried
Image skincare in the past and my first impressions weren’t all that great. However
If I think back to that time, my skin was not used to cosmeceutical products at
all. But now having used a lot of different vitamin C serums from a variety of cosmeceutical
brands this one has left me with the feeling of very glowy, bright, smooth skin.
·
Environ
AVST 4 – Vitamin A moisturiser with peptides and antioxidants. This has
been helping my skin glow and stay smooth throughout the summer. During the
winter I do have to add another moisturiser in the PM on top of this as my
natural dry skin needs a little more.
·
Environ
Avance Elixir– repairing and
boosting serum to help even the skin tone. I have been using this serum
specifically after derma rolling so that the ingredients get as deep as
possible into my skin.
·
Primark
Massager – Roller massager I have been using once or twice a week to
help massage the muscles in my face. Massage helps with lifing and firming the skin. Good for lymphatic drainage and circulation
too.
·
Sheet
Masks – Dr Jart + Face mask
for hydration, and Pathology eye masks
hydrating and plumping. Sheet masks can be used daily or weekly all year round.
