Cleansing, toning and moisturising should be the basic skincare routine that you are using. But my advice is that you need to go a little deeper into what your skin needs. That means adding in serums, oils, eye creams and masks.  I’ve already gone through my favourite cleansers, so here are my current favourite vegan toners and serums. They all work differently, so keep in mind that your skin may not agree with some of these, but as I’ve said, it’s all about trial and error to get the best routine you can. Since I suffer from sensitive skin and redness I tend to keep to toners that treat ..read more

After having my eyebrows micro-bladed for a few months I’ve picked up some pretty good tips on keeping them in good condition & looking their absolute best.

It gives me more confidence without makeup AND it’s shaved so much time off my make up routine! I only wonder why I didn’t get it done sooner.

After doing the 10 step Korean Skincare Routine, serums were something I added to my daily skincare routine. I have quite sensitive skin and as I get older there are a whole load of extra skin concerns that a ‘cleanse – tone – moisturise’ routine just don’t address.
