After chatting about my current morning and evening skincare routine I thought I should touch on the products that are more than worthy of their spot in my bathroom cabinet but that I don’t use daily – either because that would just be OTT for my skin or because they’re products I only reach for if I’m having a specific skin problem (unusual dryness, a breakout etc. etc.)

Welcome back for Day Two of Skincare Week. Today I’m chatting about the products I’m currently using for my morning skincare routine. It’s a little bit shorter than my evening routine, mainly because I’m absolutely not a morning person so I’d rather spend as many extra minutes in bed as possible!

MY SKIN TYPE & CONCERNS

Over the next five days I’ll be featuring loads of my absolute favourite skincare products – some new discoveries, some that have been a part of my routine for years – along with chatting about what I’m currently using.

Today I’m kicking things off with running through my evening skincare routine and current products…
