Skincare and Beauty Products and Experiences in 2021

Skincare is personal…yes, but I want to share with you some of my favourites over the past few years.

FACIALS

BESPOKE BEAUTY, DONNYBROOK

When I can, I love having an in-salon facial or treatment.  For those of you in Dublin, I can highly recommend Elaine Butler Doolin of Bespoke Beauty in Donnybrook. I have regular FACIALS there and also love their Yumi Lashes treatment.

Her salon is an oasis of peace and calm; Elaine has magic hands and I feel as safe as houses in her care. I have used her Simone Mahler products and they are effective and luxurious. There is still time to give the present of a voucher.

 

JEAN KELLY, MASSAGE & HOLISTIC THERAPIST, WICKLOW

Jean Kelly facial

I also had some lovely treatments in Baltinglass from Jean who offers facials, massage and reflexology also. Read my review HERE.

And now to brands:

SKINICIAN

What I like about this Irish company is that they offer different products depending on your skin’s particular needs. And, of course, that can change with the seasons, hormones or even traumas.

Skinician Retinol

I have been using their retinols. I started with level 1 and have now progressed to level 2. Check out my review HERE. They have also added a rose quartz facial roller to their products which I highly recommend. Also pop over to Instagram where you can win a €100 voucher for Skinician on my page OVERTHEHILDA.

ELLA & JO

This relatively new Irish brand has been making waves in the beauty world, with a huge following already. My absolute favourites here are their cleansers and their rose spritz.

Ella & Jo Hydrating Skin Mist

Have a look at what I said earlier this year about Ella & Jo.

KIEHL’S

I came late to the Kiehl’s party, but I have several of their products on repeat. Their sunscreen is absolutely wonderful and I really like their Vitamin C eye cream too.

Kiehl's Vitamin C Eye Serum

I reviewed some of their products HERE.

As I said, skincare is personal. I like mixing and matching and I enjoy trying new products.  Another wonderful RESTORATIVE AND CALMING BRAND is Seavite created by The Drs Mulrooney.

I have a lovely new serum from Lancome to try which I believe is amazing. Have any of you tried Absolue The Serum?

But the biggest gamechanger for me was when I started using retinol. And there is one for every budget.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

It is unlikely there will be another post out before Christmas. So, I hope that you have a good one with family and friends despite the new restrictions. Apologies for the lack of content recently, but life got in the way. And it was not always in a good way. I was battling an upper respiratory infection for nearly a month. A hacking cough affected my sleep for weeks and GG had to move into the spare room. But I am over it now and he has returned to the marital bed!

A Happy and Safe Christmas to you all.

Thank you for reading.

Hilda xxxx

    These skincare products sound wonderful Hilda!
    I use RoC skincare products because I can switch from retinol to hyaluronic acid to vitamin C products from RoC depending on what my skin needs.
    I love facials especially HydraFacials!

    Enjoyed this post. I’ve tried so many retinol products without great results but I’m doggedly trying a new one now from Lixierskin.

      I really love retinols but I found some too harsh or maybe I was over applying. My skin is softer and seems more hydrated. I see a difference if I stop using it for any length of time, so I start again.

Glowing skin just after my final @ultraceuticals_i Glowing skin just after my final @ultraceuticals_ire treatment. You can read all about my 90 day journey using at home potent products and in-salon treatments over on the blog. Particularly happy with my skin tone which is brighter and less blotchy. And the lines and wrinkles are less obvious too...plus the jaw area seems tighter.

'Orange you glad it's Halloween?' is our Style Not 'Orange you glad it's Halloween?' is our Style Not Age prompt this month. And  I am always happy to wear orange no matter what the season/occasion.
My coat is over 25 years old and I still love it. Have you heard of the label Oui? I never see it in the shops now. And I loved the brand.

New post up on the blog featuring where we stopped New post up on the blog featuring where we stopped off on our Danube River Cruise. Love looking back on the photos which bring back great memories of our trip. We stopped off somewhere different every day. Our final stop was Budapest. We arrived during the day, but the trip up and down the river at night with the city lit up was magical. The Parliament Buildings were particularly spectacular.
