A little #sundayshelfie featuring my Sunday Facial

A little #sundayshelfie featuring my Sunday Facial. I'm going for nourishing, hydrating and peptides today.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Ist cleanse with @theinkylist Oat Cleansing Balm⁠⠀
2nd Cleanse/exfoliantion @templespa breakfast smoothie exfoliant - treating myself to a gentle physical exfoliation⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Spritz with @templespa toning essence - this smells amazing and brings you straight to the Mediterranean.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
While the skin is damp I'll spend a 10 minutes or so doing a facial massage using lots of The Ordinary Marula oil and the @skinesis skinlift massage tool.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Then I'll apply on my latest obsession the @imfrom_global honey mask. And leave it on while I watch strictly (and maybe another episode of the crown..) ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Before I go to bed, I'll do my regular pm peptide routine. After washing off the mask, I'll apply the rice toner and fig boosting essence for hydration, followed by The Ordinary Buffet+ Copper Peptides serum. Sealed with @theinkeylist Peptide Moisteriser and the @purito ceramide sleeping mask for even more soothing nourishment and hydration.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Hope you all had a lovely weekend! Here to the our last week (hopefully) lockdown!⁠⠀

I do love a good sleep mask! Especially with the colder weather it gives that extra boost of hydration and prevents moisture loss.
How’s your week going and tell me what your watching? I’m rewatching Dawson’s Creek, SO good! Instantly transported to being a teenager

Benefits of a Vitamin C supplement for the skin⁠

Benefits of a Vitamin C supplement for the skin⁠
⁠
We're all aware of the many many health benefits Vit C has, and that applying a Vit C serum on our skin. But how does taking a supplement directly affect our skin? ⁠
⁠
Swipe to see the benefits.⁠
⁠
I was very kindly sent this Liposomal Vitamin C supplement by @somega the other week. To say I was delighted is an understatement! I had been looking at trying a liposomal vit c supplement and this one ticks all the boxes!⁠
⁠
- It's Irish! ⁠
- Its more eco friendly than other vit c liposomal supplements, which generally come in sachets. This is just one big bottle you can recycle - though would love if you could send it back to be refilled???⁠
_ It doesn't taste horrendous! I'm not a big fan of the taste of citrus but this is passable for me.⁠
⁠
What is liposomal Vitamin C?⁠
Liposomal vitamins don’t use capsules or tablets or powders to deliver nutrients. Instead, the vitamins are encapsulated in pockets of fat cells called liposomes (hence the name). Apparently, this is the most effective way of ensuring the vitamins in the supplement actually get absorbed into your body (and not just, you know, peed out). ⁠
⁠
One scientific studies found that the delivery system made vitamin C circulate in higher concentrations in the body when compared to a regular vitamin C supplement. (It's thought that we only absorb 14-20% of regular Vit c supplements)⁠
⁠
⁠
It's only been two ish weeks, which is too soon to see changes in the skin, but I do feel I have some energy.⁠
⁠
I'll update when I am finished.⁠
⁠
@gosomega is ⁠€38.99 for a months supply and is available on their website and selected pharmacies

*gifted but thoughts and waffle my own⁠

Happy #texturetuesday !! Hows everyone doing? Between lockdown and the world's anxiety about the election, wasn't doing too good last week. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Now I'm staring at my computer, trying to make my website work without knowing how to code. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Still loving this gel moisteriser* from @klairs.global just look at that texture! ⁠⠀

latest #empties⁠ that are also #friyayfaves⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And for the first time, all of them will be a repurchase⁠⠀
⁠⠀
@versed Baby Cheeks All in One Hydrating Milk. I've posted a few times about how much I love this. It's a multi-purpose toner, I mainly use it in the morning as a quick cleanser and in the evening after my glycolic to rebalance the skin's pH.⁠ ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
@templespa Dual Act* I've really enjoyed this cleanser. Its very gentle, great at removing make up and most importantly doesn't leave the skin feeling tight. You can also use it on dry skin as a wipe off lotion.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
@templespa Life Defense spf 30* Been pretty impressed with this spf. It soaks in quickly and doesn't pill! Because I work from home I don't wear make up most days and this has become my go to spf. It also has antioxidant complex of rocket, ginseng root, vitamin e and ha for extra protection. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I have a lot of cleansers and spfs to get through at the moment but I will definitely want to use these again.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The Ordinary Marine Hyaluronics* I've a detailed review on this somewhere on my grid. It's a great version of HA, especially for those who don't like the stickiness of The Ordinary HA. It does have a bit of a smell but it doesn't bother me⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And finally⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The Ordinary Niacinamide Serum (large size) Think this is the 4th or 5th bottle of Niacinamide that I've finished. You all know how much I love it but I'm going to try another Niacinamide serum (gasp) just trying to figure out which one to get... Any suggestions? And I always have the Niacinamide Powder (🙄) for back up⁠

#watershotwednesday What happened when I didn't patch test!
I was kindly #gifted this Klairs Fundamental Water Gel Cream from the k beauty site, @wishtrend for review (you may have noticed I'm having a bit of a kbeauty thing at the moment)
I received it last week, and in a moment of madness, I slapped it on my skin without patch testing.... and... my skin is fine. I'm just being dramatic. But I generally always patch test and slowly introduce new products in my routine to prevent sensitivity and irritation.... and so should you. So don't follow my example and always patch test!!!
Anyhoo lets talk about this moisteriser. It's a very light gel cream, but don't let that fool you! It's SUPER HYDRATING! It really surprised me by how much it moisturised my skin.
This cream’s main ingredient is green tea water or camellia sinensis leaf water. It’s been known to:
Calm skin
Brighten skin
Provide effective antioxidant benefits
And retain moisture
It's is also formulated with vitamin B5, amino acids and minerals for boosted and long-lasting hydration.
Klairs Fundamental Water Gel Cream also has what the company calls “hydra emulsification system”. which basicaly allows this cream to hydrate deeper layers of our skin, resulting in a healthier and stronger skin moisture barrier. Yup, I'll take that!
I was really surprised by the price point. Usually, anything formulated with green tea leaf can be expensive but this is just €30, great value considering you only need a little bit.
I will continue to test and do a full review later.
