Ooh - is the Hourglass ambient powder good? Which colour did you go for?

LightenUpSummer · 29/05/2020 20:06

I've recently become addicted to The Ordinary's squalane. I feel it's what my skin's been looking for all its life Grin So hydrating.

FudgeBrownie2019 · 29/05/2020 20:09

Chanel's Tan de Soleil - I've used it in summer for years and it's always the thing I go back to.

Nivea Soft body cream - I use it every morning and night and swear by the stuff - my hands and feet are ridiculously soft (despite being a runner) and I'd never use anything else.

Liz Earle's Hot Cloth cleanser, and Elemis' Cleansing balm, I alternate but never really deviate from those two.

Bobbi brown intensive serum foundation

Charlotte tilbury magic cream.

Livedandlearned · 29/05/2020 20:25

Upcircle face serum, the plain coffee oil one, my face looks lovely for the first time in years

Talulahoopla · 29/05/2020 21:09

Origins Ginzing range - I use the face wash, moisturiser, eye cream and night cream. It's amazing and skin feels to clean and fresh after it. Also human and kind body souffle. One use and my skin is the softest it's ever been. Have even caught DP stealing it!

I also have some retinol serum I got from Superdrug but I’m not convinced it does much so I’d be interested in hearing about some tried and true retinol products.

Clinique moisture surge - I get really dry skin at the sides of my nose and it’s the only thing I’ve found which stops the flaking.

Dieu · 29/05/2020 23:30

I love beauty stuff and am due a rehaul, but find these threads so overwhelming!
I tried navigating the Ordinary website once, but found it utterly baffling, so didn't bother buying anything.
