Morning Skincare Routine

-

 

If there's one thing I've learned through having bad skin, it's not to miss out on that morning routine! It's such a crucial part of keeping your skin healthy as it takes away the bacteria, oil, and leftover product from my evening routine. I usually keep it fairly simple in the morning. Continue reading and find out exactly what my routine is!


Step 1: Cleanse

I will never use anything but the Smoothing Cleanser, and I haven't for the last three years. Just 1-2 pumps gives me all that I need to cleanse my skin in the morning, then I simply wipe it away with a facial sponge. It leaves my skin soft and pristine.


Hero ingredients:

  • Green tea extract
  • Golden jojoba oil
  • Eucalyptus (scented version only)
  • Rosemary (scented version only)




Step 2: Tone

Toning is such an important part of a skincare routine but I feel like not many people take advantage of it! The Vitamin Toner helps to balance your skin's pH, reduces the appearance of pores, and even helps to brighten your complexion. It's so refreshing and it smells divine! You'll regret not using it sooner...


Hero ingredients:

  • Aloe vera juice
  • Rose water
  • Cucumber juice
  • Vitamins B3, B5 & C



Step 3: Eye Cream

As someone who is constantly tired which results in dark spots under my eyes, this product is a life saver! Eye Work is a rejuvenating, instantly cooling serum that also works to brighten and soothe. I love how refreshing it is in the morning.


Hero ingredients:

  • Coffee cherry and hibiscus peptides 
  • Turmeric
  • Cucumber
  • Vitimin C



Step 4: Serum

The Pure Lagoon serum is a must have product for any upset or blemish-prone skin. It's fast absorbing, non-sticky, non-greasy, and super hydrating. It helps to feed your skin's eco flora which in turn helps fight against blemishes. I use this twice a day when my skin is particularly bad and reduce to once if it's more settled. I couldn't live without this serum!


Hero ingredients:

  • Blue spirulina
  • Vitamin B3
  • Zinch PCA
  • Prebiotics

Step 5: Moisturise

Even if you have oily skin, you cannot forget to moisturise! Skin Feast gives my skin the hydration it needs without making it overly oily or greasy. It smells amazing and it always leaves my skin feeling super soft.


Hero ingredients:

  • Australian kakadu plum
  • Hyaluronic acid
  • Strawberry, blackcurrant, raspberry, blueberry, cranberry, and rosehip oils





Step 6: SPF

A lot of people assume that they don't need SPF if they're staying indoors or it's the Winter months. Every day your skin is exposed to harmful UV rays and free radicals, even if you don't realise it. Sun Day Facial UV Defence is lightweight, non-greasy and makes a great primer for make up. Pro tip: if you're concerned with fine lines and wrinkles, the earlier in life you start wearing SPF, the better!


Hero ingredients:

  • Plant polymers
  • Hibiscus extract
  • Hyaluronic acid






And there you have it - that's how I care for my skin every single morning! It's such a great start to the day and when my skin feels good, I feel good!

Professional Shampoo RUINED my Hair

-
Image
  When I say that a certain professional-quality shampoo ruined my hair, I mean it ruined my hair. It's taken six weeks to get my hair back into good shape with Tropic products, but now it's never looked healthier! I figured that if my hair salon used it, it would be totally fine for me to use at home... Big yikes. I used the shampoo & conditioner for around 3 months before swapping over to the Tropic hair system. Then lockdown happened, I ran out of product, and I went back to using the toxic products. Around August I began to realise that I didn't actually like my hair. The colour would always fade quickly when I got it dyed (which I go to my hairdresser for), it was always tangled, brittle, dry, frizzy, and would become oily very quickly. It got to the point where I was having to wash my hair almost daily because it just wasn't looking clean!  I didn't think that much of it, just putting it down to the fact that my hair must be like this, and I carried on usi...

Review: Perfect Skin Resurfacing Body Lotion

-

  I've been using Perfect skin for about a week now so I had to write up a review for it. It's one of those products that gives amazing results from day one, and if you don't believe me, try it for yourself! Perfect Skin is an exfoliator, or resurfacing body lotion. It's super moisturising whilst still being strong enough to thoroughly exfoliate the top layer of skin, getting rid of all those dead skin cells to let the new, glowing skin shine through! Similar to the Fruit Peel serum, this body lotion uses plant AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) which chemically exfoliates the skin without the need for rubbing or scrubbing. If you're like me and have somewhat sensitive skin, especially after shaving, scrubs can be too harsh and leave your skin blotchy and red - Perfect Skin doesn't do that. Combined with pomegranate enzymes, your dead skin cells won't stand a chance! As Perfect Skin is a body lotion, it uses noni fruit extract which is rich in antioxidants to promot...

Why Tropic?

  For as long as I can remember, my skin has been problematic. It’s hormonal, sensitive, and the slightest feeling of stress has me breaking out. I tried countless products over the years — including the brands that cost an arm and a leg — and nothing was working for my skin. Although other people would tell me that my skin wasn’t that bad, I felt it was! It’s hard to be confident and comfortable when you feel like your skin hates you. I ended up coming across a company called Tropic Skincare through my mum. She’d tried a few products as they were vegan and cruelty free, so I decided to give it a go as well. The first product I used was the Smoothing Cleanser and I instantly fell in love! It melted make up off without stripping my skin, and most importantly, it gave me a thorough clean without breaking me out. From there I tried serums, exfoliators, moisturisers, body care... Within a few weeks I was absolutely hooked! I'd often wondered if the hype surrounding Tropic was just that...
