Every cloud has a silver lining, like the fact I got a notification this morning that my screen time was up by 15%, whilst simultaneously watching Hailey Bieber share her entire skincare routine.
Don't tell me that being privy to that info is not worth some extended blue light exposure.
Now, I fully hold my hands up here and say that I fully expected Hailey to have either an incredibly expensive skincare routine, or nothing but Proactive... if you catch my drift.
Proving that you should never judge a book by it's cover, Hailey's nighttime routine is not only affordable, but it's also based in science.
Come through with that dermatology knowledge, Mrs Bieber.
First she double cleanses and I have to give a round of applause to Hailey for not only removing her makeup and SPF (because we wear that everyday, remember), but also cleansing her face afterwards.
Then she follows with niacinamide - a skincare ingredient that is as multi-talented as Michael Jordan's sporting efforts.
Not only is niacinamide great for minimising breakouts, it also helps reduce dark spots, increases the health and strength of your skin barrier, protecting it from all kinds of future harm.
Hailey follows up her niacinamide with my personal favourite, hyaluronic acid.
If you don't have an HA in your routine already, please I beg you add one immediately. Rather than an exfoliating acid, hyaluronic acid is a humectant, meaning it attracts moisture, therefore super-boosting whatever skincare products you layer on top of it.
Finally, Hailey finished her super-simple, yet super-effective skincare routine with a moisturiser to seal all that hydration in.
And that my friends, is a skincare routine I can fully get behind.
If you want a skincare routine I'll be proud of, I've linked my recommendations below (based on Hailey's steps).
Thank me later.
