Some nights sleep just doesn’t happen. Sometimes it’s due to being a new mum with a wakeful little one, other times it’s due to cats running rampant on the bed, other times it’s simply that your brain is in overdrive and won’t shut off. Then there’s that joyous moment when you finally haul your weary bones out of bed and glance in the mirror, and all you see are shadows and lines and the pale drawn face of a person who didn’t get their beauty sleep.
What’s a girl to do? Reach for her most trusted beauty products of course! And we’ve made it easy by putting together a selection of top-rated-as-by-you skin care products, designed to make you look as sprightly as a cocker spaniel puppy – even if you don’t feel it.
First of all, hop in a nice warm shower, cleanse your skin with a product like Aveeno’s Positively Radiant Facial Cleanser, and then exfoliate with a brightening exfoliant, like St Ives Even And Bright Pink Lemon and Mandarin Orange Scrub.
With your skin all plump and pink it’s time to add a toner into the mix – and it seems some members can’t get enough of Oasis Beauty’s Berry Brightening Tonic. Packed full of fruity goodness, it works to reduce pores, tone, and brighten your skin.
Next up, reach for a serum, like Trilogy’s Nutrient Plus Firming Serum – Queenie herself described it as ‘a facelift in a bottle’, and many members agree that it does indeed firm, lift and brighten as promised.
If your eyes are showing signs of a night spent tossing and turning, apply a good eye cream, like Tonymoly’s incredibly cute Panda’s Dream So Cool Eye Stick, which is formulated to de-puff eyes while minimizing the appearance of fine lines.
Last but not least, you’ll need a good moisturiser, one that hydrates and nourishes, and according to your reviews Essano Rosehip Moisturiser is a winner. Wonderfully hydrating, kind to skin, and great at giving you a glow.
