We're in week 7 of quarantine and we are enjoying spending more quality
time with the family. As we are both staying in at the moment, we aren't
getting as much exposure to the outdoors, which means that our skin has
been looking and feeling a bit dull and dry lately. We've had a
significant amount of free time browsing the web for skincare bits to
make our skin feel a little bit more hydrated and help us keep positive
during this time. Listed down below are some bits that we have used
recently that we've been loving and wanted to share with you these items
if you also wanted a cheeky pick me up.
SHISEIDO WASO RESET CLEANSER CITY BLOSSOM
L: When I saw this new product online, what really got me interested was
the cute translucent pink packaging, which reminded me of those capri
sun bottles. The product itself is infused with cherry blossom notes,
which took me back to the cherry blossoms in Japan. Once added to water, it lathers up into a foam and gently exfoliates the skin with its micro
exfoliating properties. It gives your skin a feeling of cleanliness,
eliminating the dirt buildup and excess sebum from your skin.
MINI FOREO
M: My sister kindly gifted me her mini Foreo, which I was incredibly
excited about. I've always strayed away from adding it into my basket due
to the hefty price tag that comes along with it, however I've been testing
it out for the past few weeks and have come to terms with the fact that it
is definitely worth the price! Used together with a cleanser, it really
freshens up my skin and removes any dirt or leftover makeup that I may
have missed when removing it. What's even better is that it's perfect for
travelling; it can easily be popped into your skincare bag without taking
any up space at all!
DR JART+ VITAL HYDRA SOLUTION BIOME WATER CREAM
L: I had tried Korean brand Dr Jart when it came out in the drugstore a few
years ago and loved their sleeping mask. When I was perusing ASOS and
their new-in skincare, I came across Dr Jart again, this time with their
water cream. After trialling this cream for a few weeks now, the product
is extremely light weight with a watery kind of gel consistency, perfect
as a light base to hydrate the skin after a work out. I would probably
recommend this product for oily to normal skin types.
LANEIGE BERRY SLEEPING LIP MASK
M: I've only recently delved into the Laneige hype and decided to buy the
mini sleeping lip mask in Taiwan as I had heard good reviews about
it. Similar to the sleeping face mask, I put it on nearly every
night before I go to bed and when I wake up, my lips feel incredibly
nourished and hydrated. I feel this product is really effective in the
winter months when my lips are constantly dry and cracked, so it's an
amazing product all round!
SUQQU SCENTED HYDRATING MIST
L: The Suqqu scented hydrating mist is one of those products that probably
isn't necessary to add into your skincare routine, but one of those pick me
up and refreshing things to add to your list. The faintly floral and
natural scent is pumped out through the light coat of mist which I generally like to spray before applying make up to create a nice base for
my foundation to lie on top of.
AROMAWORKS DIFFUSER
M: I'm incredibly picky when it comes to scents, especially when I can't
get a taster of what it smells like if it's all packaged up. We bought this
diffuser from Waitrose and has gone down an absolute treat in my
room. Since it has been getting warmer I wanted something that was fresh
and slightly fruity and it's definitely made my space feel more
comforting and homely.
VASELINE INTENSIVE CARE BODY OIL GEL
M: Since the lockdown my skin has turned incredibly dry, probably the driest
it's ever been! I needed something that was really hydrating and would
leave my skin feeling really soft and nourished, which I can confirm this
product does! Although it's slightly oilier than the creams I usually use,
I can really feel a big difference in the way that it has made my skin
less flakey and horrible. A little goes a long way with this product so I recommend using it before you go to bed as it is a little on the oilier side.
