When I see clients for facials, we always discuss skincare routines as I want to be sure they maximise their homecare programme. Between these conversations and Wellness Words, I find myself consistently referring to products I know will make a difference. So I thought it would be helpful to create a reference section on my website.
What's the fuss with Korean skincare?
When do I apply? How much do I apply? Do I have to wait?
Do you: apply facial essence?
We’ve made it through Blue Monday (hurrah!) and while the days really are getting longer (sunset isn’t till 4:27 pm today), chilly temperatures let us know we’re still in deepest, darkest winter.
With all the time we’re spending indoors right now, I find this season to be perfect for supersizing my skincare routine. While I still advocate a basic skincare practice, shortened daylight hours inspire me to apply face masks more regularly and spend extra time on facial massage. I’m also loving the addition of a new product to my routine: facial essence.
Should you be using a toner?
Wondering if a toner could help your skin? Toners are no longer considered a cleansing product to remove any last traces of make-up. Today's formulations are considered treatment lotions, a first step in what you fortify your skin with and can help with balancing, exfoliating, hydration and enhancing penetration of moisturisers and serums.
