My Autumn Morning Skincare Routine

Hi guys! Happy Friday. How has your week been? My week has been kicking my butt - I'm honestly a little overwhelmed with work and life - but I know a few down days isn't the end of the world. 

One of my favourite things in the whole world is skincare - so I'm excited to share my morning Autumn skincare Routine with you guys and chat more about the products I'm using. As always - these are things that are currently working for me. I'm now 34 so one of my main concerns at this stage is preventing ageing faster - it's never a bad thing to look younger than you really are.

Avon Micellar Gel Cleanser I LOVE this gentle yet effective cleanser for the mornings - it doesn't strip my skin or upsets my skin pH balance -and preps it for all the products I will be using. I use a pump of the product - massage it into my skin for 60 seconds then rinse off with luke-warm water. This is one of the few gentle yet cleaning cleansers I have found - perfect to prep your face for morning skincare without stripping it too much ( at nighttime I do prefer a stronger cleanser with glycolic acid ). This cleanser is also pretty affordable which is always a bonus as skincare is always pricey already. This is also fragrance-free which for me personally is a bonus because I hate added fragrance in my products. 

Avon Hydrate and Protect Facial Mist  After I cleansed and towel-dried my face - I prep my skin with a few sprays of this magical hydrating mist. The scent took a little getting used too - I won't lie - but this is a wonderful light hydrating spray that I use as my toner in the morning and it aids as an extra boost of hydration in the morning (which this time of year is when my skin needs every extra boost of hydration it can get ). I use this in the evenings as well to soothe my skin after the glycolic acid toner I use. 





Avon Anew Perfect Skin Wide Awake Eye Cream
I suffer from darkness under my eyes for as long as I can remember ... so any eye-cream that brings a little brightness is a lifesaver. While I don't use concealer under my eyes every day .. (If I'm lucky I might do it once or twice a week ) my skin under my eyes are extremely dry as well and this aids in an extra boost so my concealer goes on a little smoother. I love this eye cream and I can see the difference on days I forget to use it. 






Avon Anew Even Texture & tone Multi-Spot Correcting Serum and Anew Vitamin C Radiance Maximising Serum

Yes, I'm extra and need to serums I switch between daily. As I switch up my serums at night time- I like switching it up during the day as well. I love the Vitamin C serum for those days I need a little boost. The Avon Vitamin C serum claims to help with healthier-looking more even skin. I love how 1 bottle contains the power of 30 oranges - pretty impressive, isn't it? I use the Vitamin C serum on days where I use the Avon Anew Even Texture & Tone Multi-Spot Correcting Serum in the evening - to swop it out a bit. The Anew Even Texture & Tone Multi-Spot Correcting Serum is one of the products I picked up to help combat the sunspots I'm getting. I don't want them getting any darker so I decided to invest in products that can help combat that as well. I'm pretty impressed with both serums so far.

Neutrogena Anti Wrinkle Deep Wrinkle Daily Wrinkle Moisturiser 
I decided on this day cream for the sunscreen benefits (SPF20 ) as well as all the great reviews I read on Takealot when I ordered this. I got the night cream during stage 5 in the lock-down and was super impressed as I have the Retinol serum in the range too - so this made sense to add to my routine. I love how the sunscreen doesn't break me out - yet I feel protected on our morning walks around the neighbourhood. This cream is lightweight yet my skin feels hydrated and protected. I do feel since I'm using the product combo my skin does look younger - or perhaps I just need to get out more. 


Overall - I love my morning routine - and will be sharing my Evening Skincare Routine with you guys next week.
