I absolutely love the feeling of having a freshly stocked skincare cupboard. I try and replenish mine every few months, and whilst there are products I run out of quicker than others, I generally tend to stick to this. As I've covered skincare for a while now, I've been lucky enough to find products that work well for my skin and avoided the ones that haven't. Don't get wrong, it took quite a while (especially when finding the best moisturiser) but I managed to get there eventually!
If you didn't know already, Amazon Prime Day is actually taking place all of today and tomorrow. Whilst I've been keeping an eye on all of the Best Prime Day Beauty and Grooming deals, the skincare deals have really surprised me this time around. Not only are there a variety of different products, there are discounts applied to a wide range of brands. It's also great to see such a range of luxury brands as well as budget brands, meaning there's options for everyone.
As I was so impressed, I knew I had to share with you my top buys from this Prime Day sale. I purchased all of these this morning and they're still available, so make sure you get buying if you don't want to miss out.
However, before you find out, make sure you check out these 5 skincare swaps you need to make for autumn/winter. You might learn something new!
Emma Hardie Purifying Pink Clay Detox Mask (50ml)
I was luckily given the Emma Hardie Purifying Pink Clay Detox Mask for Christmas last year and was devastated when it ran out. As it's on the pricier side, it hasn't been something I've repurchased, mostly because I wasn't using it as an essential step in my skincare routine. However, as soon as I saw it was reduced to just £25 for Amazon Prime Day, I added it to my basket immediately.
It's a gorgeous mask that really makes your skin feel soft and clean after using it. It should be used by smoothing a thin layer over the skin, being careful to avoid the eye area. It should then be left for 10-15 minutes and removed using the EH Cloth soaked in warm water. I love the fact that the cloth is included, and I'm so excited to start using it again!
Cerave Resurfacing Retinol Serum (30ml)
This is an absolute must have for me and I use it daily, meaning I get through quite a lot of bottles. I don't normally mind spending £20 each time I purchase it, especially as I know it works really well for me. However, £13 is a much more attractive price point, so I bought two of them so I could stock up a little.
It should be used daily and applied evenly across the face after cleansing. However, remember to apply a sunscreen on top as there is no SPF included. Read our piece on 5 reasons why you should use sunscreen daily for healthier skin to find out more!
Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water (700ml)
If you don't use Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water, then what are you even doing with your life. It's honestly the best (and quickest) way to remove any grub and make up from your face, and it leaves no residue behind at all. I use it probably a twice a day but a bottle lasts a while, so I actually don't find myself purchasing it too often. There are lots of different varieties of it but I find that the original option works the best.
Dots for Spots Acne Patches
This is the only product on this list that I haven't tried before, but I knew I had to as soon as I saw them. I've heard really great things about these acne patches, and whilst I don't struggle with acne myself, there's nothing worse than an unexpected spot popping up on the morning of an event. I'm really looking forward to giving these a go!
The INKEY List Caffeine Eye Cream (15 ml)
Another firm favourite of mine is the INKEY List Caffeine Eye Cream, and it's extremely affordable and even cheaper in today's Amazon Prime Day sale. Whilst the caffeine is meant to act as a wake-up call for your eyes, you can use it in the evenings as well as the mornings.
After cleansing, I just squeeze a pea-sized amount onto the tip of my finger and then gently pat around the contours of my eyes. It works really well and I always notice that my eyes look brighter after using it!
