Reaching a milestone age can feel like a good time to make some changes to skin care routines :)
What is your skin care goal?
Mine is to nourish my skin and also to improve radiance as sometimes my skin can look tired and a bit lacklustre.
I use Tropic products for a variety of reasons that you can read more about on my Natural Skin Care Page. Briefly though I love the fact that the products are 100% natural, that the company has an ethos that is close to my heart and especially because they feel wonderful on my skin.
Having been someone who tended to wash my face with water (unless in the rare event I had used make-up) and then apply moisturiser I worried that a proper skin care routine would be difficult to maintain. Trust me it's not. Adding that 10 minutes morning and evening has really made me feel good. I actually look forward to it now.
In the image above I have shared some of my go to products that I rely on to nourish my skin, with one little change that I'll tell you about in a second.
So just two or three times a week my morning starts with Face smooth which is used like a wash while I'm in the shower. Simply apply gently to wet skin and then shower it off like you would any face wash. It's gently exfoliating so be careful not to use it around your sensitive eye area and start with using it once a week if you are new to skin care.
Every morning I use my smoothing cleanser (this is step two on the days that you have used Face Smooth in the shower). This is a gorgeous, creamy cleanser that you rub gently into your face and neck then wash off using the free bamboo face cloth that comes with it.
Once I have patted my face dry with a towel I spray my fresh and cooling Morning Mist toner liberally over my face and neck and give that a couple of minutes to dry in naturally (I tend to brush my teeth and get dressed at this point). This toner helps the rest of the products I use to really penetrate my skin to give the best advantage.
Next comes my Rainforest Dew serum (not pictured). This gives my skin a real hydration boost to keep it healthy, plump and glowing.
Now it's time for the luxurious Skin Feast moisturiser. This creamy, rich moisturiser goes on like a dream and smells delicious.
Instead of the Lip Balm that you see in the image there, I use Lip Fudge, another lovely, natural lip moisturiser that I can reapply as often as I wish during the day.
At the end of my morning routine, I add my Sun Day SPF 50 cream (not pictured) to help protect my skin from harmful, ageing UV rays. Whereas at night I repeat the routine but to finish instead of my Sun Day I use my Elixir (pictured). Just 4 drops of Elixir patted gently into my face and neck finishes my night time routine beautifully and really helps to nourish my skin overnight.
