My most loved Skincare
Love my skincare. These are some of the products I use and love
Such a great cleanser, and I can tell already that it's going to last for AAAAAAGES, saving me so much money, and plastic waste too.
Bliss Bar™ Gentle Solid Face Cleanser
The best, low price cleanser out there. It's so gentle you can use it on your eyes to remove make up. Great for sensitive skin, won't dry skin out. I use this as a makeup remover and cleanser, and my tween daughter and teenager son also use it. I lov...
Cetaphil cleanser
Love this moisturising cream. Nothing more to say.
Visible Difference Refining Moisture Cream Complex
Hands down the best eye cream. I have used this every day for more than 10 years. I am 46 this year and have almost minimal lines around my eyes. This product WORKS.
Restore anti-aging eye cream
I used almost a whole bottle of this lovely product over winter last year and it worked so well. I found my skin was dry, red and a bit patchy due to being dried out with air conditioning etc over winter. I used it under my normal moisturiser to give...
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 - 30ml
Great lip balm, very moisturising and has a SPF of 15 which is great. We so easily forget to protect our lips from the sun, so this balm is a great double duty product - a lip balm and sunscreen. There is also a tinted version for when you want a bit...
Eight Hour® Cream Lip Protectant Stick Sunscreen SPF 15
I absolutely love this product. It is a full SPF50 sunscreen to protect my skin, but it has a matte finish and does not leave a white ‘cast’. Smells divine. A little bit goes a long way, I only need one pump for my face and one pump for my neck so it... I always wait until it is on special, then buy two.
SPF 50 matte sunscreen (face)
Finding a moisturiser with high sunscreen can be a hard road. Here are a selection of moisturisers with high SPF that Adore Beauty have vetted and highly recommended.
Adore Beauty - Our Favourite Moisturisers with SPF 50+ in 2023
There are so many uses for this oil. Rashes, itchy bites, scratches/scrapes, taming eye brows, dry skin over winter, rough elbows/heels, intenstive hand/cuticle cream.
Nutri-Rich oil - multi-purpose skin balm
Save loads of money, treat yourself to a spa level micro-dermabrasion treatment at your place. Leaves the skin so smooth.
Micro-dermabrasion at home
My Minimal Makeup
This is what I have in my bathroom cabinet - love them all.
Great mascara. It has a really good brush that sort of grips your lashes and brushes through them while coating them with mascara to make them go ‘wow’! It has more stickability than the other mascara I use, it doesn't completely wash away with clean...
Benefit BADgal BANG! Volumizing Mascara
Great under-eye concealer - brightens up my dark circles really well.
Boi-ing Bright On Concealer | Benefit Cosmetics
I have used this Benefit concealer for years now. Great for covering up tired under eyes or spots.
Benefit Boi-ing Cakeless Concealer
I love this BB cream. A little bit goes a long way (less than a pea sized amount), it goes on smoothly and evens out my skin. Love it.
Garnier SkinActive Classic Light BB Cream 50ml
Love this bronzer. It's matte, not pearly finish is great. I brush this on my cheek bones, forehead, down my nose and chin to give myself a bit of colour (where the sun would naturally hit).
Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer powder bronzer for face
I don't have many eyebrows, or they are not very dark so I fill them in every day. This is the one I am using now. I love the fact that will be able to use almost all of it as I sharpen the pencil. Others that are ‘wind up’ don't let you use all of i...adorebeauty.co.nz/referral.html?referralId=1073546924943998984_c5t2junkg4n03c4pqpsg
Designer Brands Brow Pencil
Nourishing skincare for dry skin, or over winter
In winter my skin dries out a lot, so I change up my products.
Superb for calming dry, irritated skin.
Cicaplast Baume B5+ Balm Cream
The 3 pack is great - one for the bathroom, car and handbag. I use this on my face as it is very moisturising and soothing, without feeling greasy. I also use it on my hands as they get very dry as well. (Amazon affiliate link)
Cetaphil Body Moisturizer, Hydrating Cream
If you use it on your face it is very gentle, but make sure to avoid the eye area or close your eyes tightly as it stings if it gets in your eyes.
Pro Eczema Prone Skin Restoring Moisturiser
We tried this from our dermatologist's office - it was really nice. Gently foaming, but not drying at all.
Cetaphil Pro Soothing Wash, 10 Ounce
This is really good for very dry or uncomfortable skin. I tried it on my hands that were getting so dry - after washing and rinsing they actually felt moisturised! Our child used it on an area of skin that was dry, itchy and rashy and could also feel...
QV Intensive Body Wash + Ceramides 350ml
Teenage/oily skin
I remember the bad old days when I had acne. Our kids are now starting to get into that stage and these are the things that we are using
Game changer for teen acne. Cleared our son's skin in less than 2 weeks.
Effaclar Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment Serum
Gentle but effective treatment range for acne prone skin. Super cost effective too. Check out the before and after photos.
Clear - 5 piece skincare set for acne prone skin
Great cleanser for oily skin. My teenager uses this and it works really well. It has very fine particles in it which function as a mild exfoliater.
Kiehl's Rare Earth Deep Pore Daily Cleanser
I can't wait to try this mask for our teenage son. I really think it will help draw out any excess oil and clear his clogged pores.
Benefit - The POREfessional Deep Retreat Pore-Clearing Kaolin Clay Mask
We've always had a tube of this spot gel in our cupboard, first for my occasional spot and now for our teenager. The spot gel is very gentle and won't irritate the skin or cause it to be irritated or peel. But it really takes the redness and ‘heat’ o...
Clear spot gel
The best high protection sunscreen for your body
Our family has not been sunburnt when we used this, not at all. No ‘white look’, not greasy. It's really important to apply sunscreen about 20 minutes before going into the sun, or water.
The best and only sunscreen we have used. Non-greasy. It doesn't leave a ‘white look’ on the skin. A little goes a long way. Always apply about 20 minutes before going in the water. We have not been sunburned when we have used this. (This product goe...
