Have you perfected your skincare routine for glowing skin?

Today I’m going to be giving you my ultimate run down of all the products I use, to keep my skin feeling fresh and looking glowy. From morning routine to evening self care, I’ve got you covered.

I’m not just going to be talking about the face either. I’ll also cover my favourite skincare products to use on my lips, hands and body too. Gorgeous, glowing skin covers all aspects!

Now, I don’t use all of these products every day. But depending on how in-depth I want my routine to be, I expect to use a combination of these on any given day.

By all means, you definitely do not need all these to get glowing. Even just a handful of these products will help you do that. This is just an exhaustive list of what I’ve personally learnt to love over the years.

If you want to achieve the same radiant look, here’s how. Don’t forget to bookmark this post for your ultimate go-to skincare routine for glowing skin, and to refer back to later!

Products for a radiant face

Simple Moisturising Face Wash

The start to every great routine starts with a great cleanser, which I use every morning. I’ve been using this one by Simple for a while now, and I think it’s great. It’s hydrating, cleansing, and brightening – creating a solid foundation to radiant skincare.

Simple Smoothing Facial Scrub

Twice a week I like to use an exfoliating scrub, to help give an extra cleanse and get rid of the impurities and dead skin. It’s gently exfoliating so it doesn’t feel too harsh, and doesn’t leave me feeling red in the face.

The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%

I find that this serum by The Ordinary is great if you don’t have any specific concerns, but you just want that brightening look. It’s a universal serum, helping to achieve smoother-looking skin. I like to use this every day after cleansing.

Simple Hydrating Light Moisturiser

Every day I use this Simple hydrating moisturiser, and I’ve used it for years. It’s lightweight but still deeply moisturising, so it doesn’t feel caked into your face throughout the day, achieving a subtle glow.

La Roche-Posay Invisible Fluid SPF 50+

Even if it’s not sunny, SPF is so important to wear. That’s why I like to I use this product every day. Although it is on the pricier side, I have very sensitive, pale skin so I don’t mind paying the extra for quality. Because protected skin is glowy skin too.

Garnier Sheet Masks

One product I love to use, and is an essential to glowy skin, is a sheet mask. These ones by Garnier are my absolute favourites – I’ve tried them all! But if you’re looking to achieve that glow in particular, make sure you check out any that say hydrating or brightening.

Fresh Floral Recovery Calming Mask

One of my newest additions is this overnight face mask by Fresh. It’s deeply moisturising, smoothing, and calming for those sensitive days. Plus, you wake up feeling extra glowy!

Products for smooth skin

Sundae Very Vanilla Shower Foam

This shower foam is very luxurious to use, and feels great on the skin. I particularly love this vanilla scent, which adds to the overall experience in using.

I have been using this product every day, but that’s because I was gifted a few bottles over Christmas. I’m not sure I would continue to do so if purchasing myself. However, I’ve still included it as when paired with the other body product I’ll mention below, my skin does feel very glowy and radiant – which is the goal!

The Body Shop Almond Milk Body Yoghurt

Another product that I can’t rave about enough is this body yoghurt. It’s very thick, and extremely moisturising, but leaves my skin feeling super soft and quickly dries to the touch. I hate that feeling of moisturiser drying on me, so it’s an added bonus.

Products for soft hands

Joules Hand Scrub and Hand Cream

Unfortunately, I can’t find the links to either of the original products I’ve been using. I think they’re from an older Joules gift set, so I’ve linked a different one instead. Having said that, if you can get hold of one, do! I love both the hand scrub and the hand cream.

As someone who suffers with dryer skin in the winter, this duo has been a lifesaver for ensuring I’ve got smooth, soft hands. They’ve been a real essential to my skincare routine for glowing skin.

Products for luscious lips

Burt’s Bees Lip Balm

An absolute staple to lip care is a quality lip balm, and this is one of, if not, the best. I can’t go anywhere without it. It’s nourishing and hydrating, leaving my lips feeling soft and plump. I use it every day, multiple times a day.

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask

Another more recent addition to my glowing routine is this lip sleeping mask. I’ve been putting it on each night, and it feels very luxurious, nourishing and moisturising. My lips feel super soft when I wake up in the morning!
