I’ve been having a very busy few weeks, as I’m in the midst of moving and setting up a small production facility for my little business, and I’d be lying if my skin care routine is not suffering from neglect.

But realising this, I had planned ahead – us skincare enthusiasts never give up on our skin care, we just modify our routines to suit our lifestyle! 😀

Realising that I’d be under stress, have less time to myself, and be exposed to the environment more than before, I upped my hydration for the day and for the night. When my body undergoes stress, my skin tends to dry out so I knew I had to maintain my hydration and moisture so it remains balanced. I’d treat any other concerns later!

What I’ve been doing more of is masking and that’s where the Antipodes Flora Probiotic Skin-Rescue Hyaluronic Mask comes in handy. What a mouthful it is! So I’ll call it the Antipodes Flora Probiotic mask.

I’m not one to wear lip balm or tinted lip balm very often. I’m a lipstick girl through and through, and am unashamed about it.

But livestyles and opinions can change, and social media ads are incredibly persuasive LOL! 😀

I came across the Hygr Natural Tinted Lip Balm on Instagram, and when I clicked through to have a look, I continued being served their products more and more, until one day, I caved and bought the Hygr Tinted Lip Balm to see what was so great about it, and why people were hyping about it.

Retinol and/or its derivatives are a hot topic right now. People have learnt that this is one of the key ingredients that actively slow down the signs of aging, and can actually make your skin look more youthful, with regular use.

I’m particularly keen on a new one in the market that was launched recently – the Murad Retinal ReSculpt™ Overnight Treatment.

While I’m evaluating it on myself, here’s a little preview of what it is, and what it can offer those of us who need something a little stronger than what is available on the market (or for us who need a little more help 😛 ).

Boost skin radiance and moisture with the REN Glow Daily Vitamin C Gel Cream – now a vegan formula

REN is (or used to be) one of my favorite skincare brands. I remember their origin story, which was that it was formulated by 2 men whose wives developed skin problems/sensitivity, and it was an interesting British brand, with an interesting ethos.

It was acquired and is now owned by Unilever, and while I have appreciated how much they have grown since, and how diverse their product range has become, it does feel like a lot of the soul of the brand is no longer there.

That said however, I do still enjoy using some products from the brand, and I’m always open to try something new from them, because of nostalgia 😀 I’ve been using the REN Glow Daily Vitamin C Gel Cream as my day cream. If it looks a little different, it’s because the packaging has since been updated.
