My daily wake-up call, hoping to keep botox at bay

Never say never, but the thought of being injected with toxin to freeze my face doesn’t appeal at all! That thought is what keeps me consistent with my morning (and night time) routine. Plus the fact that I am addicted to Decléor and Darphin products, and love the feeling of being pampered every morning before the onslaught of daily life. It’s like meditation for the skin.

Decléor Hydra-Radiance Smoothing & Cleansing Mousse, one of the best face washes I have ever used. Ever. And perfect for sensitive skin, even when washing with water. My skin is calm, not blotchy or red. Plus it washes all traces of makeup at the end of the day. Double duty.

Layer on some toner – organic rosewater continues to keep my skin calm, followed by Darphin Anti-Fatigue Smoothing Eye Gel, which is light, easily absorbed, and doesn’t create congestion under the eye, depicted by bags.

I’ve already spoken passionately about the wonder of oils so this bad boy needs no introduction – Decléor Aromessence Iris Super Serum.

Finally, Decléor Hydra Floral Multi-Protection Light Cream adds a radiance back into my skin, much needed after the long winter – this can be used all year round with the addition of some rosehip oil in the Winter to boost moisture levels.

I’ve noticed the serum has done wonders for my fine lines and teamed with the Hydra Floral my skin is plumped and smooth… making the perfect base for make up.

My morning ritual revealed. Meditation for the skin. Paraben free. Natural.
