Build your regime with Brian as he shares his skincare top tips!
Morning Routine
Firstly I wash my face with Cerave, the most simple and to the point cleanser.
I begin with The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid to give my face some moisture first thing in the morning.
Then on to The Ordinary Moisturizing Factors which absorb so easily and depending on the day I might pop on
some of The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% which helps brighten and tighten under my eyes.
I like to finish off every other day with The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension Cream which helps slow skin ageing, dark spots, and also protects from sun damage.
In the summer last but not least I apply Kiehls Ultra Light Daily UV Defense Sunscreen before leaving the house.
Evening
I cleanse my face then use The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc which helps renew, restore and hydrate skin – but mostly importantly I find it nips any spots in the bud! This is my magic product!
On top of this I apply The Ordinary Moisturiser (same as I used in the morning )
And to finish I use The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squaline, this product is amazing! It makes my fresh fresher, plump and dewy before bed.
Rotational Products
Every 3rd day I swap out my Niacinamide with The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% which which helps control oil and keep pores clear.
Around once or twice a week I also use The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% peeling solution.
You only keep it on for 5-10 minutes… be warned it’s bright red and looks like blood on your face!
But leaves your skin so smooth and silky and I really think it helps with early breakouts.
The Ordinary products are vegan, cruelty free and are very reasonably priced, starting from around £5.80 and have a wide range of products for all skin types. Available online and at www.boots.com
