Top 5 Beauty Brands This Autumn
It seems like a long time ago now that I wrote about getting Summer Skin Ready… how is it Autumn already?
There were just a few too many products to mention for me to do a top 5 products for this Autumn, but there are specifically 5 top brands I want to call out who will be getting me through this cold, damp season. And they are…
Oskia Skincare
Oskia has fast become one of my absolute favourite brands. I do talk about them a lot but I really believe they are one of the top companies out there in skincare.
A Little About The Brand…
OSKIA is a nutri-cosmeceutical brand that specialises in bio-cellular skin nutrition. I love that they’re British, clean, naturally-derived and made in the UK!
My Top Oskia Products…
If you’re a follower of my Instagram you’ll have no doubt what my favourite products from Oskia are, but for those of you who don’t, here you go…
The Renaissance Mask
This is my number 1 mask… ever. With a fruity ingredient list, it plumps, brightens, exfoliates and hydrates all in one gentle hit. I love the immediate results and it’s a definite for sensitive skin this Autumn (and pretty much all year round).
The Vitamin C Super C Capsules
These were gifted to me and while my other forays into Vitamin C have been a little unsuccessful, I fell in love almost instantly with these capsules. They immediately brighten, soften and have my skin looking radiant.
Paula’s Choice
After hearing great things about Paula’s Choice, I decided to give it a go and just like I thought I would, I fell in love.
A Little About The Brand…
Another British brand, the philosophy of the company is smart, safe beauty. All of their formulas are safe and backed by cited research. Not only do they make great products, they also provide so much education around skincare which has definitely helped to keep my skin healthy.
My Top Paula’s Choice Products…
Sunscreen SPF 50
I love the fact that this sunscreen comes in a big bottle, it’s non-greasy and feels moisturising but with a matte finish. I feel super protected with the high factor but it doesn’t break me out.
Calm Nourishing Cream Cleanser
A new addition to my cleanser collection, this might be one of the fastest products ever to make it to the top of my faves list. It’s a cleanser for red, sensitive skin which means it’s perfect for me specifically this season. I love that it does its job without feeling drying at all!
Summer Fridays
Summer Fridays is one of those Instagram brands I was inspired to try due to the hype. I thought it was just that, hype. I was wrong!
A Little About The Brand…
Started by bloggers Marianna Hewitt + Lauren Gores Ireland, this super gorgeous brand was dreamed up in a simple mask to help hydrate - the Jet Lag Mask. It all rolled from there and now there are 3 amazing masks available.
My Top Summer Fridays Products…
The Jetlag Mask
This was my first Summer Fridays product. I am always looking for extra hydration and this provides it. I love the many uses of this, whether it’s a moisturiser, an overnight mask or a balm.
The R&R Mask
This was my second SF product to complement The Jetlag Mask. It’s the perfect exfoliant for someone with dry, sensitive skin. It buffs away the dead skin whilst seeping in those restorative oils for long-lasting glow!
Herbivore Botanicals
Another brand I tried thanks to instagram and now one of my favourites, and not just because of the amazing packaging.
A Little About The Brand…
This brand is all about natural, safe and non-toxic products that actually work. Every active ingredient is there for a reason with no filler.
My Top Herbivore Botanicals Products…
Emerald Oil
This was the first Herbivore product I bought and it’s still going. The first facial oil I think I’ve ever used that has actually worked. The hydration and the soothing are perfect anytime my skin needs a boost, is looking dry or just feeling a little more sensitive than usual.
Moonfruit Superfruit Night Treatment
This is more of a recent product from the range. I love a thicker cream in the colder months and this fruit-packed balm hydrates the skin whilst I sleep. It leaves me feeling smooth and even more hydrated in the morning. Plus it’s blue which for some reason I really enjoy!
Drunk Elephant
Last but not least, it’s the brand that must be the most loved and hyped across the internet. I’ve never known such die-hard fans come out for a skincare brand. As much as I want to say they’re wrong, Drunk Elephant really does make some excellent skincare products…
A Little About The Brand…
The brand prides itself on being clean and compatible. Again, they will only use ingredients that benefit the skin’s health with no fillers in there.
My Top Drunk Elephant Products…
B-Hydra
I got my first little pot of B-Hydra in the The Littles collection and to be frank I couldn’t get enough. As in literally, there was not enough in that tiny bottle so I immediately went and purchased the full size pot. I love this hydrating serum which smooths my skin. Called a drink of water for thirsty skin, it really soothes.
LaLa Retro
This rescue cream is amazing for dry skin. It’s thick and reinforces the skin’s barrier against everyday stresses. Infused with African oils, It helps with a mixture of things from hydration to anti-ageing. One of my new favourite moisturisers.
