Time To Be... Skincere

Although I've loved having a little more colour in my cheeks lately, my skin has been feeling much drier due to sporadically throwing my skincare regime out the window while exploring France last month.  I know, I know, and I can't even come up with a decent excuse!  Short city breaks are no problem and I still find myself happily lining up my lotions and potions in hotel bathrooms.  However, as soon as I'm aware of the stay's duration entering double digits, the glass pots go flying out of the window (not literally, that would be tragic).  In an attempt to undo the naughtiness, for the past week or so I've been using 100% natural skincare products by Skincere.  So the question is, how have they been performing?
Skincere are a new brand, quickly establishing themselves as good eggs thanks to their aim of creating products for those who 'just want to be true to their skin'.  Only recently have I been paying more attention to skincare products' ingredients, thanks to brands like these (along with some of my favourite beauty blogs), who have been opening my eyes to what truly matters when it comes to introducing new products to a skincare regime.  Skincere's 100% natural and hypoallergenic range boasts preservative and alcohol free products that are also free of synthetic fragrance and Parabens.  So, everything looks great on paper, but how do they perform?

Skincere Facial Serum c/o - A little certainly goes a long way!  This has undoubtedly been my favourite discovery of the three products.  Although I haven't seen a huge reduction in redness around my nose (aka trouble area), I've noticed my skin appears more radiant after just one week and my skin is much smoother to the touch.  In particular, I've noticed my fingers can now slide across my forehead without encountering any signs of dryness.  A brilliant, lightweight serum.  Fab!

Skincere Night Cream c/o -  Featuring Monoi Tahitian Oil and Shea Butter to help 'nourish and restore skin's softness', I was pleased enough but not blown away.  By day, I'm used to the refreshing and super-moisturising qualities of Clarins HydraQuench Lotion and so Skincere's Night Cream had a lot to live up to from the start

___

Skincere Cream Cleanser c/o - Last but not least, Skincere's botanical-infused scentless cleanser, featuring a concentrated blend of extracts including Bilberry, Orange and Lemon.  This has been my first little 'rendezvous' with a cream cleanser, and so for a little while there I was puzzled.  Though, ahem, after that steep learning curve, I became pretty fond of the product.  I wear fairly minimal makeup throughout summer and it's performed well, though it'll be interesting to see how it fares against December's festive war paint!

Psst!  None of the ingredients in Skincere's formulas, or formulas themselves, are tested on animals.

Skincere's 100% natural range has been a pleasure to try, and particularly as the brand is so transparent with their ingredients - greater awareness can only be a good thing!
