Skincare
❤️ Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Intensive*
Few products earn “staple” status in my routine, but this one absolutely does. The tiniest dollop, once a week, and my skin immediately looks brighter, smoother and less congested. It’s that rare exfoliator that manages to feel potent, like a facial in two minutes flat.
😍 Revolution x Sali Hughes Butter Clean Cleansing Balm
A genuinely excellent budget balm that deserves far more recognition than it gets. Though sadly, it looks as though it’s being discontinued. It melts away everything effortlessly, leaves skin soft rather than stripped, and doesn’t try too hard to be fancy.
😍 Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Glow Moisturiser
The sort of multitasker that makes you feel you’re getting more than your money’s worth. It hydrates, smooths and gently resurfaces without ever feeling aggressive. Perfect for skin that looks a little dull or flat. This brings it straight back to life.
😍 La Roche Posay Effaclar AZ Gel-Crème*
A great all rounder that I rate highly if you’ve read my recent review for it. It soothes redness, helps fade old marks and keeps skin breakout free.
😍 L’Oréal Paris @lorealparis Le Duo Serum
Review coming soon, but spoiler: I loved this.
❤️ Trinny London Take Back Time Skin Vitality Elixir
I reviewed this in full recently, and my feelings haven’t changed. It’s utterly brilliant. Hydrating, brightening, and just makes your face look alive again. I’ve already bought a second bottle, which tells you everything.
❤️ Garnier Super UV Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Fluid SPF50
One of those rare sunscreens that gets everything right. Light texture, invisible finish, no pilling, no chalkiness. It’s been a staple for years and will stay that way.
😍 Dussl Daily Protection Moisturiser SPF50
A lovely, simple moisturiser-sunscreen hybrid that’s ideal for minimalists or those who want fewer steps in the morning. It gives a natural, semi-matte finish and makes sunscreen application feel easy.
Bodycare
❤️ Garnier Hand Superfood Avocado & Omega 6
A total bargain and one of the best high-street hand creams I’ve tried in years. Rich enough to actually do something, yet never greasy or slippery. It makes even the driest hands feel comforted and cared for. I’ve already bought another.
😍 Phlur Father Figure Deodorant
Absolutely loved this. The fragrance is crisp, green and clean. It’s enough to make you feel polished without being overpowering. It keeps you fresh all day, glides on easily and doesn’t mark your clothes. Practical, yes, but also genuinely pleasurable to use.
