Skincare for dry skin

Let’s take it back to basics with some great skincare. The best makeup looks are always when applied on good healthy skin!

Face Washes and Scrubs

• No7 Energising Face Scrub

For dry skin chemical scrubs are often better, more effective and still gentler on dry skin which is prone to damage. This is instead of a physical scrub with hard pieces in.

Once a week or so I like to use No7 Energising Face Scrub which energises the skin without being overly harsh! It’s officially a “male” product but there is no reason a female can’t use it too!

Toner

• Superdrug’s Naturally Radiant Glycolic Toner
• Beauty Bay Acid Trip Exfoliating Toner

Superdrug’s Naturally Radiant Glycolic Toner is perfect for dry skin. Read more about my experience with it here.

Beauty Bay Acid Trip Exfoliating Toner

This exfoliating toner is perfect for bad skin days. No need to overuse because it is fairly strong but perfect for targeting areas or infrequent all-over toning. I really love this product! 

Serums and Moisturisers

• Superdrug’s Vitamin C range
• Supernova Celestial Skin Elixir by Flower Beauty

Anything from the Superdrug Vitamin C range and I’m sold. My favourite tries so far have been the moisture gel and the serum. They leave you and your skin feeling awake and refreshed and smell delicious too!

Although officially a setting spray Barry M’s Rose Serum Mist claims to keep skin plump. It certainly feels lovely spritzed on the skin throughout the day! Find out more about Barry M’s Sprays here.

Supernova Celestial Skin Elixir by Flower Beauty

Flower Beauty is a cruelty-free brand beauty brand created by the actress Drew Barrymore which focuses on make-up and skin care made with natural ingredients and accessible prices. 

Supernova Celestial Elixir is an oil primer or moisturiser, with a dropper, filled with pearlescent (not glittery)  pigments to leave the skin looking radiant. You don’t need much as it is, very, oily but it leaves the skin looking radiant.

I have used it either on no-makeup days or instead of other serums under makeup. It is very oily I have found that it is best to not use too many other products with it but it is also therefore great for dry skin. This mixes well with a foundation to create a glowy tinted moisturiser but use it sparingly as it can leave skin greasy. As well as any brushes you use to apply it.

Personally I don’t like the flowery Lavender smell but it does smell natural rather than fake. The elixir is full of various natural ingredients as well as being vegan and cruelty-free

Skincare Products Especially for Eyes

• Revolution Cooling Eye Gel

This eye gel is a favourite of mine! Perfect for under eyes but so hydrating it’s great for dry skin anywhere. I love the cooling feeling on my stressed skin on my forehead particularly! 

Face Masks

Face masks are great as a once-in-a-while (maybe once or twice-a-week) treatment. Be sure to read each mask’s packaging and don’t overuse!

Superdrug’s Vitamin C Face Mask is my favourite for energised skin!

Sheet masks can also be a great way to add moisture to the skin. Look out for ones made with simple and eco-friendly ingredients in mild scents like rose.

Skincare Accessories

• Resuable pads
• Hair bands and clips

Beauty Bay Cleansing Pads are a pack of 3 pads with a cleaning bag. These pads are perfect for makeup removal, simply wet, squeeze out and wipe face then rinse and pop in the washing machine in the baggy! These are a perfect travel packing hack-no need for face wash products. Especially if you pack some hand washing liquid to keep them clean! 

Resuable cotton buds. A pack of silicone reusable cotton buds is a great skincare accessory and much better for the environment.

A headband or clips are also useful to hold back your hair and keep it out of the product!
