I've Finally Organised My Beauty Cupboard—Here Are 19 Products I Swear By
I’ve spent a good portion of my career testing cult beauty products, and there have been lots of hits (and a few significant misses) over the years. I love it, and it has given me access to products that quite literally do what they say on the tin. However, it has meant that I’ve never been a loyal customer, and I’m always on the hunt for the next miracle product. Recently, I made the decision to scale back and fine-tune my skincare and makeup purchases. Ask my friends—it has led to me becoming a far more put-together person with a little more money in my pocket. What’s more, my beauty cabinet is no longer close to its breaking point.
From fail-safe skincare to signature scents, I’ve found some products that seem to have stood the test of time in my life.
While I’m certain this list will change as more exciting products are released, here are some of the products I swear by.
For me, moisturisers need to serve more than one purpose. Naturally, they should hydrate the skin, but they also need to keep my face looking young like a newborn. (I’m kidding.) Embryolisse's Lait-Crème is unassuming to look at but works overtime to create that coveted fresh, glowy skin. I carry a tube in my bag on a day-to-day basis (for when I’m barefaced).
Those with brown skin tones often struggle to find a sunscreen that doesn't leave a grey cast over their face, ruining makeup and holiday photos as a result. La Roche-Posay’s factor 50 is a great option. Regular use has helped with my hyperpigmentation, and it’s become a regular fixture in my daily skincare routine. Also, zero white marks.
I’ve been obsessed with clay masks since my oily-skinned teen years. For some reason, they made me feel grown-up. As my skin has changed over the years, I only use a clay mask every two weeks or so. This purifying clay mask by Fresh isn’t too drying, and my skin feels de-clogged and brighter after use.
