Exfoliating Toners are one of my favourite steps within my routine. They help to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, even out skin tone. They are especially good for my dry skin – I need to keep the dead skin cells off my face to allow all my hydrating products to penetrate. Different acids have different results, though the aim for all of them is to exfoliate your skin. Here are a few of my current favourites.
This was one of my first ever purchases from The Ordinary and I’ve repurchased it multiple times. I was supposed to post this a while ago but kept forgetting to.
This is a strong 10 minute chemical exfoliant that contains Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) to exfoliate the skin’s topmost layer and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) to exfoliate the skin more deeply to clear pore congestion. Combined together, this peel can offer extraordinary exfoliation to help battle blemishes and boost radiance.
Who is looking into trying some retinols? Retinol is currently the gold standard, powerhouse ingredient in skincare due to its anti-ageing properties. Retinol is a derivative of Vitamin A and is proven to speed up cell turnover. The result? Your skin will produce fresher, smoother skin.
How does the Revolution Skincare’s 10% Niacinamide + 1% Zinc serum compare to The Ordinary’s?
I’ve tried both, so how do they differ? Well to be honest, I didn’t really notice much difference between the two. They are both the same price and they both work just as well as each other.
Peptides. You’ve probably heard of them before. They are one of the most talked about skincare ingredients. But what are they?
I literally didn’t have time to post November’s empties in December so you’re getting two months empties in one this time!
