Skincare Routine ft. Éminence

At work we use the organic Hungarian skincare brand called Éminence. They contain no harmful chemicals or additives and are locally grown and handmade in Budapest, Hungary. Each and every product smells absolutely amazing and help skin concerns such as ageing, wrinkling, blemishes, loss of vitality, tone and radiance. I've slowly been buying Éminence products for my skincare routine because when I use them on clients in an hour facial I can already see their skin change! I have normal/combination skin and I found the following products to have worked the best so far for my skin type.
 

The first product I bought is the Blueberry Soy Exfoliating Cleanser. Although it is says it's for normal to dry skin types I find these works perfectly! I use about half a pump to wash my face in the shower and then I leave it on for a couple of minutes to allow the natural exfoliating AHAs to work their magic. After I've washed it off my skin feels really smooth and polished. I've also been very self-conscious about the pores on my nose but the blueberries (which are healing) and soy (which are soothing) combine together to tighten pores! I noticed within a week of using this cleanser that my skin was much smoother and more radiant.


The next few products I use were actually samples (best thing ever invented!!). My manager gave me the Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Serum which sadly I'm almost out of. I apply about 4 drops every 2-3 nights after spraying on my toner (which isn't from Éminence). It creates a really fresh glow from the botanical hyaluronic acid and vitamin-rich strawberries and rhubarb.


The next product is also a sample (yay!) and is the Wild Plum Eye Cream. If you watch my makeup tutorials on my Youtube channel you may know that I have inherited the dark under eye circles from my Dad and really struggle hiding them. But since using this eye cream the darkness has definitely started to disappear! The eye cream contains vitamin K which re-engergises and brightens the eye area and wild yam and marigold also minimise the appearance of ageing. I take a rice grain amount on my ring fingers and start on the outer corner of my eye and gently pat it inwards and also up into the inner corners of my eyes. Then I bring it up onto my eye lid and continue patting it until it is soaked in. 


Last but not least is the Sugar Plum Oil-Free Revitalizer. This quickly became my favourite skincare product that I've ever used! This moisturiser is perfect for oily, combination and normal skin types and as the name says, is oil free! A must-have skincare product for the summer! It still hydrates the skin while minimising oiliness. It's the perfect base before applying makeup because it leaves my skin very smooth and velvety while still having a matte finish. 

I don't have my full skincare routine right down to Éminence yet because I want to use up the products I already have but I can't wait to use more products! Click here to find where your closest spa is that stocks Éminence skincare.
