Hey, community -I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying this lovely spring!!

I wanted to chat about how serums and eye creams provide additional benefits to your skincare routine. Here's why:

Serum💙  A serum is a lightweight, highly concentrated skincare product that contains active ingredients. Its main purpose is to target specific skin concerns such as hydration, brightening, firming, or reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. I apply a facial serum every day, and for me, the hyaluronic acid serum is my everyday must!! Serums are formulated with smaller molecules, allowing them to penetrate deeper into the skin and deliver potent ingredients directly to the targeted areas. By incorporating a serum into your routine, you can address specific skin concerns more effectively. The Hyaluronic acid serum contains hyaluronic acid - helping to plump and maintain our skins, natural Hyaluronic acid - I love this!

Eye Cream💙 Let's not forget the skin around the eye area, which can sometimes be forgotten about. This area is super delicate and prone to dryness, fine lines, and wrinkles - especially with seasonal changes. Eye creams are specially formulated to address these specific concerns. The Eye Repair contains ingredients that help reduce puffiness and dark circles. The beauty of applying an eye cream can help nourish and protect the delicate skin around the eyes, keeping it hydrated and youthful-looking. The eye repair also has 3 essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid :) if eye care is something that you don't tend to apply - Maybe this post is your sign :)

Essentially - adding a serum and an eye cream into your skincare routine can provide targeted benefits to address specific skin concerns and keep your skin looking healthy and radiant! Do you use an eye serum or face serum? I would love to know!  Jade 💙

Hi Community,

We know trying multiple products simultaneously or using a complicated routine is tempting. However, too many ingredients can compromise the skin barrier, leading to skin irritation.💙

Sometimes, your skincare products don't need to be 'sexy', and Cerave proves just that! It's about productive, results-driven formulas and affordable price points.💙

Cerave provides the perfect dermatologist-approved and developed products for your cleanse and prep skincare routine.

These are my chosen top 4 products which work for my dehydrated skin, and I like to keep it simple.

Cleanse and take my make-up off with the Miceller water. It is suitable for day and night. Apply my Moisturising SPF lotion during the day and my hyaluronic serum and moisturiser at night.

This routine is simple and unsexy, but I know I am hydrating and protecting my skin day and night without compromising the skin barrier.💙

Let us know in the comments what your unsexy routine would be.

Hi Community,

How are you all doing? Spring has sprung at last!! Welcome to May 🌼

I hope some of you have attended one of the university bus tours. They look great and fun. 💙

I am highlighting another of my favourite products today, the 50 ml moisturiser cream.

This deeply moisturising face cream delivers long-lasting hydration to dry skin. This cream is powered by MVE Delivery technology; the rich formula delivers up to 24 hours of hydration to the face and body, with a non-greasy texture remaining gentle and lightweight on the skin.

This face cream combines a blend of ceramides with hyaluronic acid to help nourish the skin barrier and deliver a much-needed boost of moisture. After use, the skin feels replenished and silky soft to the touch, with the appearance of dryness diminished.

WHEN TO USE?

• As often as needed Application: apply liberally to the skin. Avoid direct contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rince thoroughly with water.

INGREDIENT BENEFITS

Ceramides: Long-chain lipids that work to lock in moisture. Hyaluronic Acid: A humectant that supports long-lasting hydration.

The Hydrating Cleanser is frequently used before applying the moisturiser. This moisturiser does not have an SPF, so one would need to apply an SPF on top.💙

Let us know if you have used this moisturiser before.

Have a lovely bank holiday weekend.

This post is for you! 💙💚

Many products targetting blemish-prone skin are better suited for oilier skin types, so what should we use if our skin type is dry?

Always choose a cleanser based on your skin type. For dry skin, I recommend any of the green cleansers (labelled “Hydrating”). So you have a choice of:

• Hydrating (non foaming) which is better for really dry skin.
• Hydrating Cream to Foam
• Hydrating Foaming Oil

What about the rest of the routine? For the morning, there is no better choice than the AM Facial Moisturising Lotion SPF50. This is a non-comedogenic formula (less likely to clog your pores) and it has a lightweight texture, providing hydration without being heavy or greasy on the skin.

For evening, double cleansing is essential, either using the Micellar Water (to remove makeup) before using your cleanser of choice OR use your cleanser twice to ensure previous skincare product and any dirt, oils are removed from the skin. Follow up wtith the Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum to make sure you are providing hydration in the routine again. Hyaluronic Acid is a great ingredient to have in the routine, whether you are dry, oily or blemish prone as it prevents moisture loss and helps to protect your skin barrier. Wait a few minutes before layering the Blemish Control Gel over the top, this will target the blemishes, blackheads or any congestion in the skin, providing a gentle exfoliation to unclog pores and reduce inflammation.

If you are eczema prone, please only use the Blemish Control Gel as a spot treatment, not all over the face as this can only irritate eczema further. If you are unsure, you can always reach out to me, Jade or Elizabeth to advise what is best.

Hope you're all having a great week! I'll be at CeraVe High tomorrow at the Liverpool University which I'm really looking forward to. If you're local to Liverpool or want to visit for the day, I highly recommend coming along, we have samples/prizes to win (whilst stocks last!) Hope to see some of you there!
