Sharing my skincare faves
First up is Diptyque Satin Oil. This stuff is so luxurious! It's got a light Jasmine scent that lingers without being overpowering. It's light & easily absorbed but is still rich enough to leave skin feeling soft & nourished. And how stunning is the bottle?! 😍 Do you prefer a cream or oil for your body? I much prefer oils - they're much less effort to rub in 😂
Next is Oskia Super 16 Pro-Collagen serum. This contains Bakuchiol which is often referred to as a natural, gentle version of Retinol. It also contains a whole host of vitamins & antioxidants which all work together to leave skin soft & supple. It has the same gorgeous, light rose scent as the Renaissance Cleanser. It's a lovely consistency - really hydrating. It's been leaving my skin looking plump and feeling soft.
I'm also enjoying Instytutum's C-Illuminating 3D moisturiser. This is a perfect AM cream as it has a suble pearlesant sheen to it that really helps to brighten my complexion. It's full of amazing ingredients like Vitamin C, Peptides, Hyaluronic Acid & Probiotics. It's a gel / cream consistency too so it's super smooth to apply. Love it!

Hey loves! Today I want to talk about a brand I discovered that is SO good and really took me by surprise. Its called instytutum and was founded by Nataliia Derkach, MD, PhD, a visionary and top pharmaceutical executive who’s dream was to create her own skincare brand and products that deliver outstanding results. She teamed up with scientists with at least 30 years experience in the skincare industry and created Instytutum: a result driven skincare brand.
The products were the C-Illuminating 3D Moisturizer and a Flawless Skin Mask.
⠀
➰ The C-Illuminating 3D Moisturizer is basically glow in a jar. Everything about it is perfect, from the packaging, to the texture and the scent. The feel is incredible, it glides on and leaves the skin with a healthy pearlescent glow. It’s the ultimate priming moisturiser and I have also discovered it’s perfect partner on days when a little extra tan is needed with the glow: D-Bronzi. O.M.G. Total amazingness. 😎
⠀
The C-Illuminating 3D Moisturizer contains vitamin C to brighten, multi-molecular Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate, and Tripeptide-1 to boost collagen production. This also contains probiotics to help maintain a healthy skin barrier and ensure moisture loss is kept to a minimum. Shea Butter and Vitamin E help soothe and hydrate the skin, calm inflammation and relieve any tightness. (Full ingredients below for anyone interested)
⠀
➰ The Flawless Skin Mask comes in a set of 5 and costs £68. It is a Sheet Mask split in two (bottom and top part) to make it easy to fit on the face. It’s unlike any other wet sheet mask I used in the sense that the material just sits on the skin nicely. I’m not a fan of wet sheet masks generally but I have to say I really enjoyed this. For anyone who loves sheet masks this is the mothership. ⠀

My morning routine from the past week. I usually try stick to same set of products for at least ten days. This way I get to use truck load of products that I have. There is a pattern to it. I avoid actives and acids in the morning and stay away from heavier oils. Also I make sure to include one product that I don’t adore but needs to be finished and one that is new and on trial.
.
whamisa Organic Toner is another one that is easy to layer, light and pleasant to the nose.
skii Essence unfortunately didn’t do anything for me. So it needs to be finished.
maycoop My very first K beauty essence. Not my first bottle. Love it 😊
herbivore Cloud Cream All the hype around this one!! It is a good moisturizing cream.
youthtothepeople Glow oil is a light oil, great for the day and easy to layer. Instant Hit 😍
instytutum Eye cream. This is the one that I am testing. So far so good.
dior Lip glow. Moisturizing with little color on the lip. Love it.

Brightening Eye Cream
I’ve shared the importance of under eye care, many times, but I’m here to send another reminder of that ever-so delicate area of our face. During the summer months especially, our eyes are under constant strain of expression. It is truly so important to include our entire eye-area for sunscreen application and to wear UV protection sunglasses throughout our daily routine. Within our PM routine it is crucial that we are gently removing our eye makeup with a balm or oil cleanse and microfiber cloth, using soft manipulations and lifting up/away from the eye. I’ve been loving this brightening eye cream from Instytutum for my summer nightly regimen. It is fragrance free and super charged with raspberry stem cells, silk tree bark extract, caffeine, shea butter and so much more! It has been providing moisture to my (normally crepey) under-eyes and enriching the area to reduce puffiness + improving elasticity + micro-circulation.

⭐️ A mini tkmaxx haul from a couple of weeks ago
shiseido Purifying Mask for £12.99 (should be £35) - contains kaolin, bentonite and tanakura clays. Designed to absorb sebum and impurities and leave skin radiant.
blissworld Facial In A Box £6.99 (should be £14). I’ve been wanting to try something from Bliss for a while and couldn’t resist this! It’s a 3 step program to give your results of a facial at home. The 1st step is an oxygen fishing mask, step 2 is an AHA glycolic peel, the 3rd step is an energising Vitamin C Cream. The pack contains enough for 2 facials.
instytutum Alive Water £5.99 (should be £14) - a hydrating, refreshing mist to balance skin. I’ve tried this, it’s a powerful fine mist.

INSTYTUTUM-C-Illuminating 3D moisturiser
This morning's routine was a bright and cheery one
⭐ allies of skin
Clean Slate Brightening Cleanser. It's a gorgeous light cream that almost absorbs into skin & rinses off easily. It leaves skin brighter and hydrated. Perfect morning cleanser.
⭐ leegeehaam
Tea Tree 70 BHA Toner - I'm trying to use this up as it's been open a while. It's a gentle exfoliating toner that's great for my oily skin.
⭐ paula‘s choice 10% Niacinamide Booster serum - this has quickly become a holy grail product for me. My acne has all but cleared up since using this daily. It's fantastic! I've got another lower strength Niacinamide serum to try after this one, I'm worried I won't get the same effects!🙈 Luckily I've got a back up of this ready to go if not 🤣
⭐ a.florence skincare
Super Serum - this award winning serum is another favourite of mine. It's a gorgeous light emulsion packed with anti-pollution ingredients including Vitamin C. I adore it!
⭐ instytutum Truly Transforming Brightening eye cream - I'm enjoying using this cream so far. It's light and hydrating.
⭐ lotus potion
Protective Emulsion - another pollution busting emulsion! It's lightweight, silky and leaves skin looking and feeling amazing.
PAULA'S CHOICE-10% Niacinamide Booster
A few things I’ve been loving lately for dewy skin.
The heimish Artless Glow Base has been a favorite for a while now. It works great for dry skin to give you a subtle glow without looking too shimmery. It doesn’t leave a white cast and works well both under makeup and on its own.
I just bought the red earth Secret Potion illuminating skin fluid and I’ve been mixing it together with my foundation for nice lightweight, dewy finish.
Also, I’m so so so happy I’ve introduced retinol into my routine. I feel like it has improved the appearance of my skin immensely. Pictured is the instytutum Retinoil that I’ve been using at night along with the Xceptional Flawless Cream.
