Something I really enjoy (even before I became a beauty editor) has been answering beauty questions… at the moment I’m getting quite a few about how I look after my skin and how I’ve fought my acne-prone dull skin and take it to that natural glowy complexion I achieved.
I am very excited to share with you what I use on my skincare routine, but before getting into business, I just wanted to add that what works for me might not work for every skin type, skincare is so particular and it definitely is a trial-error game. With that being said, I totally love the power of a clean skincare routine and even though I do have to switch up my routine regularly, choosing the right product with the right ingredients would make you see effective results.
MORNING SKINCARE ROUTINE with Alya Skin
I don’t cleanse in the morning; I like to wash my face with water and splash Minenssey SOS mist followed with Ellus & Krue PH Balance Gel Toner to prep my skin. I think it’ s a great way to smoothness and discouraging dullness while waking up the skin.
I wait a couple of minutes and apply the Vitamin C from Alpha-H, I love how enhances the glow and clarity on my skin, then, I add a moisturizer like the Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense from Paula’s Choice or the Australian Native Berries Moisturiser from Alya Skin. Generally, for me, a moisturizer that’s build-in any clean resources is enough to seal in the serum or vitamin that I am using.
If I’m having a zoom call and I need to have a good day face, I like to put some concealer and pat a bit of MERE Hydra-Bright Eye Lifting Catalyst Cream under my eyes (trust me it makes the difference once you apply your concealer) even if you have oily skin! (you don’t have oil glands in the under-eye area) It smooths and plumps, the skin, and the concealer goes easier looking more natural without any patches.
After my moisturizer has sunk in, I always pat on SPF, Ultra Violette has an amazing range non-greasy, without any sulfates, fragrances or parabens. The good reason to use a clean and non-toxic SPF is that it will sit on the top of your skin rather than being absorbed as the chemical SPF needs.
For an extra touch of freshness, I use a tinted moisturizer, the Tinted Hydra-Repair Day Cream from Grown Alchemist is a brilliant clean option that adds a light sun-kissed glow to the skin and doesn’t leave any residual oil.
EVENING SKINCARE ROUTINE with Alya Skin
I double cleanse with my Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm and massage gently for around 5 minutes thoroughly into my dry skin, (it’s literally my moment of the day) followed by QED Skincare Clarify Shake Activate Cleanser, then I dab at my skin with a cotton pad soaked in a Probiotic Skin Refiner by The Beauty Chef.
I put on an Alya Skin Face Pink Clay Mask (2-3 times a week) I’m obsessed with this mask as it’s suitable for sensitive skin, which is hard to find in some of the Clay masks. It leaves my skin, smoother, softer, and with that healthier-looking complexion in just 10 minutes.
Don’t forget, you can also WIN an Alya Skin Complete Skincare Bundle if you ask me any beauty questions via this Link and we will be sharing all your questions at Caviar Feeling website and social media channels!
If I am feeling especially dull/miserable I use the Yora Clarify Face Concentrate, it’s literally a miracle for the skin as immediately transform my surface, it feels incredibly good no matter what your complexion, smells divine and it’s very very moisturizing. On the other hand, if my skin is behaving ok I wait five minutes until I apply the Yora Rebalance Night Face Serum that is super hydrating as well as promotes elasticity and firmness to the skin’s barrier. For an extra pamper night? I mix them up, first the serum, and then the face concentrate and the results next day are just supreme.
