Like many of us, my ultimate skin goal is the clear, even and glowy complexion that makes you constantly catch your reflection in every mirror you pass. It’s the iconic look that beauty-lovers all over the world are seeking. So, in every skincare product I buy I look for how they will a) clear my skin, b) even my blotchy red skin tone and c) bring a youthful, luminous glow to my skin.
Investing in your skin is so important. Without great skin, the make up you wear will not sit well and you will never achieve a product’s full potential. So, I’ve grabbed my daily faithfuls and raided my skincare drawers to share the top skincare products that I’d love to share with you.
Liz Earle Cleanse + Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser

Kickstarting with my ever-faithful, the Liz Earle Cleanse + Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser. First of all, the chamomile smell of this product is so soothing, calming and relaxing that I just love to cleanse my face with it every single morning.
If you buy the cute little pouch, the cleanser comes with a muslin cloth which is brilliant for helping the polish to exfoliate away any impurities.
The best thing about this cleanser? It removes make up too. So it can be used day or night (or both if you absolutely love it!) and you can trust it to melt away that stubborn mascara and cleanse your pores thoroughly in the meantime.
It really is key for a journey to radiant, clear skin.
Botanics 100% Organic Rosewater Toning Spritz

This toning spritz feels incredibly refreshing when you spritz it all over your face and neck. The rosewater soothes your skin, helping with any inflammation or redness too! It’s perfect combined with the Liz Earle cleanser, as it works powerfully to keep pores unclogged and to close them back up to avoid any dirt or impurities from sneaking their way back in.
I use this twice a day as it leaves my skin feeling cleansed, rejuvenated and super glowy. It’s definitely worth a buy!
Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Skin Protectant

So to put it frankly, I have never loved a product more in my entire life. One of my friends first tried this on me when she did my make up as I was Maid of Honour at my sister’s wedding. It completely tied my make up together and instantly brought this healthy glow to my skin.
And better yet, a tiny bit really does go a long way. Less is more with this product, as too much can make your face look like a total grease bomb (the polar opposite to our pursuits of glowy skin). Pop a tiny about on your ring finger, dab along your cheekbone focusing on the apples of your cheeks first and you’re basically good to go. I sometimes grab my beauty blender to really set it into my skin, as I don’t want it to sit on the surface.
It can be used after moisturiser or on top of make up, both give the perfect healthy and luminous look to your face.
Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Lip Protectant

Twinning it up with the skin protectant, is the Elizabeth Arden 8 hour lip protectant. Much like the skin protectant, this product is an ultimate favourite. It glides onto your lips and instantly makes them look smoother, softer and much plumper!
Perhaps the 8 hour title gives it away, but the lip protectant lasts for a super long time and I can still feel it on my lips halfway through the day – which is fairly rare for lip balms.
If I’m not using it on my bare lips, I’ll pop it in my handbag and dab it on top of lipstick to bring a natural shine and plump look to my lips.
So there you have my ultimate top picks of skincare products. These are products I use on a daily basis and will definitely panic buy more if I’m even halfway through (I mean, don’t we all do this?).
Thanks for reading and stay tuned for some more of my favourite beauty products right now.
