My Current Skincare Favourites
- Always wear eye cream! I cannot say this enough. Whether it be anti-aging or one that combats dark circles/under eye bags. The La Roche-Posay Hydraphase Intense Eyes does a great job, expensive at €18.49 in Boots; but it will last a long time.
- Clinique’s ‘Take The Day Off’ cleansing balm removes every trace of makeup (literally melts away waterproof products). It can also be used as a regular cleanser - two products in one. It is not harsh on your skin, and II find some makeup removers irritate my eyes while I’m trying to remove stubborn mascara. This product retails at €29 in Sam McCauley Chemists.
- Penneys range of undereye and full face masks are incredible, yet inexpensive at just €1/€1.50. There is a mask for every complaint and skin type. The plumping Vitamin E sheet mask left my skin feeling soft and subtle. What’s not to love?
