Genny's Skincare Routine

Thank you for watching my skincare routine on our instastories today, it was amateur hour! I have had a skincare routine since I was 16rys old starting the the 3-step Clinique, it has since them evolved over the years. I am now 41yrs old, I promise people I meet that my good skin comes from having a very consistent routine.

Here is my routine and products I love, I am listing in use order:

Cleanser: I rotate between CerVe Foaming Cleanser $14.99 and Pixi Glow Mud Cleanser $18

Lotion P50 by Biologique Recherche $67 Exfoliates, Hydrates, and Balances the pH of the skin, it's a prep step before any skincare. I dab this product with my fingers over my face. This bottle will has lasted my 8 months and still got lots in it!

Serum is important to any skincare routine, this is your preventative to fine lines and restores your skin cells!  I rotate the week between 3 serums. I used to use the same serum til it ran out but I believe your skin becomes complacent so this keeps your skin alive!

  1. SkinCeuticals: C Ferulic Acid $164 I have used this product on & off since I was 28yrs old! Vitamins C & E for antioxidant properties Blended with Ferulic Acid to maximize its antioxidant effectiveness super skin protection from environmental damage prevents premature aging signs

  2. Sérum Matriciel Visage by Biologique Recherché $152 Tightens the Features and Restores the Structure and Volume of the Face

  3. Dr Dennis Gross Ferulic + Retinol Brightening Solution $88 fights free radicals to firm and smooth fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone. 

Eyecream: Drunken Elephant Multivitamin Eye Cream $64

Moisturiser with SPF 30 Daylight Moisturiser $40.50 I use without tint but comes with various tint colors.

I never normally wear make-up during the day. If I am working or have a lunch. I have make-up products I love and use:

Under Eye Concealer: THIS IS A MUST FOR ME! IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Concealing $28

Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter $55 is amazing, gives you a natural glow. So light and not heavy at all! I am obsessed!

We would love to know what products you love & would recommend ?

Skincare Routine

I am a big believer in a daily beauty routine. I started my first skincare routine at 15yrs old it was Clinique 3 step, it has evolved as I got older. I am 39yrs old and never had any work done, no botox or fillers (yet)!

Here is my daily skin care routine and my favorite products, I use them in this order:

Cleanser: Love daily face wash La Roche Posay Purifying Foam Cleanser $14.99 you could only get it from France but finally you buy in the US!

Toner: BeautyCounter Rosewater Toner spray: This is norishing, hydrating a reasonable $35

Serum: SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic Acid: This is my preventive, I am die hard loyal CE Ferulic Acid fan. It is $165 but it lasts 6months and I only use 2 drops every morning all over my face. I always think about trying something else but I honestly adore this product that has given me youthful skin it is currently on sale for $84.99 which never happens!

I recently added a correct serum SkinCeuticals Hyaluronic Acid Intensifier this is $98 and  I use 2 drop after the CE Ferulic Acid, this amplify skin’s hyaluronic acid levels  visible appearance of firmness, smoothness, and facial plumpness. 

Eye cream: I really research eye creams and love Chantecaille Stress Repair Concentrate it awakens my eye area deflates puffiness and smooths fine lines and wrinkles!

Moisturiser: I love Eve Lom Brightening Cream, I received a sample from Space NK and loved it!

 SPF: I never walk out of the door without SPF on my face, I apply after my moisturizer and I am currently using Bobbi Brown Protective SPF 50 Face Base

If I go to the gym in the morning I only cleanse and moisturizer after the gym I do my daily skincare routine.

I hope you found this useful.

Inner Light

My friend highly recommended Inner Light. I am big fan of trying and discovering things to improve my wellbeing. We speed through life and often forget to take time to ourselves. Moms might do a 50minute workout but then we are zooming around, I am still learning how to juggle Mom & Wife life as I am certainly not a natural!

Inner light has individual full-spectrum Infrared Saunas detoxify the body with light. Full Spectrum infrared therapy saunas detoxify your body, helps with anti-aging, it gets deep into your muscles and tissues and helps loosen muscles! The whole experience rejuvenates your body almost a reset that we all need.

I highly recommend Inner Light, the space is truly divine with a tranquil boutique selling beautiful natural, toxin-free products. I cannot wait to return.
