From face blades to glow-inducing serums… these are the skincare products that will make you want to go foundation free
Every product you need to keep your skin glowing when you don't fancy wearing foundation
WHEN the weather warms up, we're much less likely to be layering on our foundation like we might in the winter months.
So when summer comes around, we want to make sure that our skincare has got us covered.
But with so many 'miracle' serums and moisturisers to choose from, it can be hard to know exactly what to use.
And if your skin is problematic at the best of times, you'll want to know exactly what works - and what doesn't.
All hail our round-up of the best skincare bits in beauty right now, guaranteed to leave your skin looking lit-from-within - no foundation required.
- Superdrug Naturally Radiant Hot Cloth Face Cleanser, £5.99, from Superdrug -
We're the first to shout about a budget cleanser that does the job well - and when we tried this one we couldn't believe our luck. Jam-packed with Kiwi Fruit Extract, Vitamin C, Mulberry Fruit and Cocoa Butter, this gently exfoliating (but seriously effective) cleanser will leave your skin feeling soft, clean and ready for action.
- Tweezerman Bright Complexion Facial Dermaplaner, £33, from Cult Beauty -
For a super-smooth base, use Tweezerman's answer to spenny in-salon dermaplaning treatments. The small blade (it's not as scary as it sounds - we promise!) sweeps across the contours of your face to eliminate dead skin cells and removing peach fuzz for an all-over brighter complexion. Make sure to use just after cleansing and on damp skin for the best results.
- Sand & Sky Australian Pink Clay Exfoliating Treatment, £34.50, from Beauty Bay -
Remember when Sand & Sky launched their Brilliant Skin clay mask that took Instagram by storm? Well, they're back - and this time they've seriously impressed us. The new exfoliating treatment gently gets rid of toxins, impurities and dead skin cells thanks to its AHA rich fruit extract and Australian Pink Clay ingredient. Simply apply to damp skin and leave for 5 minutes before washing off. The result? Clear, glowy skin.
- Lumene Invisible Illumination Instant Glow Beauty Serum, £27, from Look Fantastic -
It's long been a skincare staple for Nordic women, but now that Finnish brand Lumene has hit the UK, it's soon to be our's as well. Packed with Pure Arctic Spring Water and Arctic Cloudberry Seed Extract, just a few drops of this serum will instantly quench thirsty skin and bring back a luminous look. We're obsessed.
- Origins X Madeleine Shaw Glow-Co-Nuts Hydrating Coconut Moisture Mask, £26.50, from Origins -
If your skin is looking a little lacklustre still, give it a boost with a super-nourishing and glow-inducing mask. This one is full of natural ingredients like Coconut, Apricot, Lemon, Orange and Lime oils to give your skin a quick fix of moisture.
- Garnier BB Cream Natural Tinted Moisturiser, £11.99, from Superdrug -
To seal the deal, opt for a multi-tasking tinted moisturiser like Garnier's 5-in-1 formula. It'll even out your complexion, brighten, blur, hydrate and protect your skin from pollution - and will cost you less than £12! Score.
