I recently decided to say goodbye to abrasive exfoliators for my face. I have sensitive skin at times and it doesn’t like harsh exfoliants.
so I had a look around. skincare has changed a lot since I worked in beauty and it’s been a minute, so I needed to read up on all the actives.
as a mixed race girlie I present as light-skinned but have some minor pigmentation that has started to come in as I enter my 30s. I asked a skincare consultant for one of my favourite organic brands ‘evolve’ and she said my best options for skin would be:
- retinol
- aha
- vitimin c
after doing a little reading around I found that the synthesised versions of these components could be very harsh on skin and that retinoids did not play well with these other actives in the same sitting.
so I have collected a few products on varying degrees of “clean” beauty to try out and will explain each below:
nip+fab
now I know this is the least “clean” of the bunch but uses naturally derived ingredients and a vegan formula. That being said I am on day two of using their glycolic acid (an aha) cleansing pads and my skin is absolutely glowing. I found mine on boots. I would note I’ve used nip+fab a lot in the past and been sent products to review from time to time and they’ve always been excellent, especially when you have a targeted skin concern. sometimes sacrificing a little perfectly organic for performance does the trick. I have seen an immediate reduction in my darker pigmented spots.
for a weekly boost I can recommend the bubble sheet mask.
evolve
I routinely use their retinol gold mask and recently tried their aha brightening mask. Absolutely 10/10 on formulation, glass packaging and best of all have actives in quantities that don’t cause skin sensitivity or irritation. I love these masks and they form a part of my weekly routine over the face, neck and décolletage.
evolve are a fast-growing vegan and organic brand from the UK that really pack a punch and do a lot for skin that is starting to face aging concerns, so perfect for people in their 30s and beyond.
I have a couple more coming and I have tried some others but they just weren’t as good and these four products are must have.
if you want smoother, more even skin this is an immediate fix and I love it.
love,
