Seasonal Skin, Body & Hair Care Add-Ons

Seasonal skincare involves switching around my entire routine from makeup and skincare to hair and body. Hydrating creams, nourishing face oils and thick body lotions soon become apart of my daily routine and luxurious masks are in use, a lot more often. I posted about my A/W Skincare Routine in a recent blog post but since then I've made some additions in the skin, hair and body department that keep things that little more prepped for the cold months.

SKIN


TAN-LUXE Sleep Oil*: Maintaining a sun-kissed glow to the skin is key for a healthy looking, awake complexion and I've recently added this luxurious elixir from Tan Luxe into my evening routine, and it has transformed the face tanning sector. No product build up on dry areas, no risk of break-outs, no excess oil, no smell; simply wake up to a plump, luminous, youthful and sun-kissed complexion. Enriched with Vitamin E, aloe vera and raspberry oil, you've got the added skincare benefits of hydration and nourishment whilst the organic tanning actives work on giving you that colour. The best bit about this product is that you can tailor it to you - apply 2-6 drops (I use 6) into the palm of your hands, massage into the face in circular motions and you're ready to glow. 

PAI Perfect Balance Blemish Serum*: If you read my A/W Skincare Routine then you'll know that serum is the one step in my routine I switch around the most as I use it to target specific concerns and with changes in weather, central heating and other aggressors, my skins been needing some extra TLC lately. This Copaiba and Zinc serum has worked wonders at improving and preventing blemishes/redness on my skin and has really helped to bring it back to normal. It's ultra light-weight, hydrating and free from any ingredients that will irritate skin, helping to fix all skin problems for all skin types. PAI is the brand for gentle, organic and effective skincare that really does the job (their Rosehip oil is in my 'cant live without' skin category). 

Jurlique Purely White Skin Brightening Treatment Mask*: One of my favourite ways to give my skin a mid-week pick me up, is with face masks and nothing says luxury better, than these Jurlique sheet masks that are packed full of powerful, potent ingredients to improve skins texture and radiance. They're easy to use and the cotton fibre sheets ensure they stick to the face for maximum penetration, letting all the goodness work it's magic. Enriched with safflower, liqoruice root extract and other botanics, this is like no other in the sheet mask department. 

Origins GinZing Eye Cream*: I've always struggled with keeping my dark circles under control (there's nothing a good concealer can't hide) so eye creams are an essential step in my routine for ensuring everything stays hydrated. The Origins GinZing range has active ingredients of coffee which is amazing for morning routine skin fixes and this rich, luxurious pot is everything I look for in an eye cream; it keeps things radiant, tones down my dark circleas, gives me silky smooth skin and adds the look of few extra hours of sleep. 

Medik8 Hydr8 B5 Serum*: Another one for the serum lovers like me, this time, something for the hydration levels. With changes to weather, central heating and environmental aggressors constantly attacking our skin, Hyaluronic Acid is an essential ingredient in my skincare routine. This clear, gel-like B5 and Hyaluronic Acid serum from Medik8 is ultra hydrating, skin replenishing, cooling and skin smoothing and is the product of the season for ensuring the condition of my skin, remains healthy and balanced. 

Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask*: Hydration, hydration, hydration; the key to healthy skin and Origins have made keeping skin hydrated with skincare, simple. This ultra thick and rich Avocado and Apricot oil mask instantly quenches skins thirst, putting the moisture back in, deeply replenishing and preventing future dehydration. I smooth on a thick layer of this and let it do it's thing for a few hours or when my skin is really feeling the effects of Winter, I'll smooth on a thin layer and leave it on overnight for rejuvinated skin in morning.

ORIGINS Ginger Float Cream Bubble Bath*: Keeping the rest of your skin hydrated through Winter is just as important and rich creams, oil-bases scrubs, luxurious body oils and creamy bubble baths are added luxuries I ensure remain in my routine, throughout. This tub of invigorating and warming Ginger, Lemon, Lime and Bergamot bubble bath from Origins has been my way to relaxation over the past few weeks. The spicy, aromatic Ginger Root is calming, purifying, nourishing, moisturising and smells divine. 

SHOW Grooming Balm*: Hydrating, smoothing and moisture rich, the SHOW Grooming Balm has been my step to sleek, controlled and shiny locks that hold weightless texture and a glossy finish. This beautifully scented light gel styling cream adds life and style to hair without requiring time and effort; I simply smooth 2 pumps of this all over damp hair before rough blow-drying for un-done, effortless looking waves that remain smooth all day. Containing Argan and Jojoba Oil, Safflower Seed Oil and Panthenol, split ends are reduced, hair is conditioned and protected from moisture loss.
