Get The Glow: My morning skincare routine

How do you “Get the Glow” that elusive and coveted glow?! And is one person’s glow the same as an others? What a thought. Beauty as they say is only skin deep…so with that in mind, we’d best take good care of it.

Skin care is such a personal and subjective journey. We all have our “concerns” don’t we. My current and growing concerns centre around the first signs of ageing. Dreaded fine lines and crows feet. Horrid! And also redness and texture concerns. My quest for a holy grail skincare routine has focused on these concerns and after endless internet searches, blog reviews and an unhealthy attachment to the Space NK website, I think I have found “the one”.

My current love affair is with these beauties:

Cleanser: Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip
Toner: Chantecaille Rose Water
Serum: Chantecaille Vital Essence
Moisturiser: Chantecaille Flower Harmonizing Cream

This little power quad seems to have addressed my concerns with vigour and I have seen a noticeable difference in my skin appearance and texture in the past few months.

First I cleanse with Sunday Riley. This is a gorgeous cleanser which you apply to damp skin. It creates a soft foam and is powerful enough to remove makeup. However I’ll often use a cotton wool pad and micellar water to get rid of makeup first to make sure that the cleanser and it’s powerhouse of ingredients is concentrated on my skin and not wasted on the makeup removal side of the job.

I use a cleansing brush. I haven’t yet treated myself to a Clarisonic but this cheaper alternative has certainly got my juices going.

Once I’ve finished cleansing I pat my face dry. Avoid rubbing as this can distress your skin further and if like me you have redness it can exacerbate this.

I then spritz my face with the Eau de Rose de Mai pure rosewater from Chantecaille. This has been a total game changer for me and I have really only been using it these the past few weeks. I have noticed a considerable reduction in the appearance of redness on my skin. The rosewater has soothing and calming properties and is known to be beneficial for people suffering with skin redness.

Next I put a thin layer of the vital essence on my skin. This is heralded as a “revolutionary anti-acing, super moisturising serum” It is suitable for both the face and the delicate eye area. I love a multitasking product. It is packed full of potent skin savers like vitamin C and E and beautiful botanics synonymous with this coveted brand.

Im then ready to put on my moisturiser which I apply as a thin layer. Again this super light but wonderfully nourishing moisturiser is gentle enough for the eyes. Hurrah. It feels instantly calming and soothing. Again the beautiful blend of botanics is cocooning and replenishing. Edelweiss, Mimossa and Narcissuss work their magic.

I’m then ready to apply my sincere and makeup. This beautiful combination leave my skin dewy and healthy looking.  The skin doesn’t feel tacky or clogged. It really is a perfect light combination to set your skin up for the day ahead.

 

I love these products in combination and I expect that individually they all produce fantastic results. I have been so much happier with my skin these past months and in particular since using the Rose water in the past few weeks. The overall appearance and the texture of my skin has improved.

I brought my products from Space NK but other great stores also supply these, Cult Beauty  Liberty London and many more great department stores.
