My present Skincare Routine : The products don’t matter the routine does

January 16, 2019 Paris B 16 Comments

One of my most requested posts is my current skincare routine. I think the last time I posted one, it was back in 2017! I had good intentions then, to share my routine each month, but it didn’t pan out as I planned.

I too enjoy seeing what other people are using in their skincare routine, so I can understand the interest (I do short videos on Instagram Stories showing my almost daily day-night routine in real-time, if anyone’s interested). But there’s also something a little unhealthy I’ve noticed, that I’d like to address.

Let me share first, my skincare routine thus far for 2019. Rather, this is what I’ve been using through 2018 and into 2019. What you may notice is that my routine and steps do not change. It is only the products that do.

And that is something I want you to hold in mind, as we run through my current skincare routine 🙂

If you’ve never heard of The Inkey List, let me change that!

I find it interesting and not a little intriguing how one very affordable brand caught the world’s imagination by storm a few years ago (The Ordinary), while this other new brand – The Inkey List – has quietly crept into the beauty scene without much hullabaloo.

Aside from the few reviews I’ve done of some noteworthy items from The Inkey List, and some posts I’ve come across from some UK bloggers, there hasn’t been a lot of fuss about the brand.

I think it’s a pity, because I think it’s a great little single-ingredient, very affordable brand.

I picked up quite a few items from The Inkey List a few months ago, and I’d already told you about two of my favourites – the Turmeric Moisturiser and the Hyaluronic Acid serum.

This post will serve more as an overview of the products I’ve tried, what I think of the brand in general, and why I think you should take a look, if affordable, effective skincare is what you’re after.

I tried the Pixi Hydrating Milky Mist and Pixi Vitamin Wakeup Mist and discovered I really love one of them!

You know I love my facial mists, and I’d been curious about the mists from Pixi for a while. But it wasn’t until I had a few people recommend them to me, that I took a look. I added the Pixi Hydrating Milk Mist and the Pixi Vitamin Wakeup Mist to my stash while on one of my online shopping jaunts to see what the fuss was about.

You can now get Pixi Beauty at Sephora stores, but I’m hardly ever at Sephora, so I prefer to just get them online.

Pixi has a few different mists in their collection, but for a start, I decided to try 2. Just to see how I’d like them. I have to say though, that they absolutely lived up to my expectations! 🙂

There’s a toner for that! Mamonde Flower Toner offers a solution for every type of skin

Mamonde is fast becoming one of my favourite go-to affordable skincare brands and from experience, the Mamonde Rose Water Toner is quite impressive for different uses. That’s good news for those of you who want something hydrating that is more wallet-friendly!

Recently, Mamonde (pronounced ‘ma-mond’ no fancy ‘eh’ at the end) launched something that intrigued me – more Mamonde Flower Water Toners.

Most of us are already familiar with Mamonde’s Rose Water Toner, and I know it is a crowd favourite. Seizing upon that, Mamonde has now enlarged their range with 5 other different toners to suit different skin needs. I realized I hadn’t told you about the Mamonde Rose Water Toner, so it was time to remedy that.

I unfortunately lost my SD-Card with all my fancy photos I took earlier of all the 5 Mamonde Flower Toners available (accidentally threw it away! Lots of other photos in there too – boohoo!) so you’ll have to make do with what I have here 🙂
