My Skincare Favs & Updated Skincare Routine 2021

-

 Hello lovelies and welcome back to Stay Sásta. I have been so quiet on here recently because things have been so busy and I had little to no motivation to write but we are back :) In today's blogpost I am going to be chatting all things skincare. Last year I posted my favourite beauty bits which included some of my skincare favs. This year I've been really focusing on setting a solid skincare routine for morning and night and sticking to it! I've been using most of these products for a few months now and I've been changing and adding certain things but I've finally got it down to a T! (Get it? T-Zone? A lil skincare pun to start us off hehe)



First skincare essential I want to chat about is double cleansing. This has been a game changer for me. I started double cleansing in December and I haven't looked back. Double cleansing is so important to really get the value out of your cleansers. In the morning the first cleanser I use is the La Roche Posay Toleraine cleanser. It's got such a lovely soothing texture so it's perfect for first thing in the morning. I rub my face with the cleanser for 30 seconds (I learnt this from Moya Mahwhinney on youtube, she said it takes 30 seconds for your cleanser to really work). After using the first cleanser, I then use the Soap And Glory Vitamin C facial wash. I've been using this for years and I always find it so refreshing. 




After this I use the La Roche Posay Serozinc spray toner. I love how soothing this is on the skin and how it's in spray form. It always feels amazing!



I then use The Ordinary Niacinamide and Zinc serum. I've repurchased this three times this year so far and I love it. I used to use their hyaluronic acid serum but I've found that the niacinamide and zinc one suits my skin much better. 

Finally I use the CeraVe Facial Moisturising Lotion with SPF25. I've found that this product leaves my skin so glowy and moisturised for the whole day. 



In the evening the only difference I make is I use the Clarins Take The Day Off balm to remove makeup and it is by far my favourite product ever!! It removes all makeup effortlessly and leaves your skin so clean. It even removes eyemakeup so well. I then cleanse with my Soap and Glory cleanser and follow the same steps as before. 



I was recently sent a gorgeous PR package from Human & Kind of some of their fab skincare and haircare products so I will be testing them out and will keep you all posted on how I find them on Insta. 

That's all from me today. I will hopefully be back next Friday with another blogpost now that I have some inspiration back. I think with the end of lockdown insight and things opening up there's a light at the end of the tunnel 🌞

Le grá,

M x

  Long time no seeeee. I can't believe I had abandoned this website for so long 😢. I love writing but final year of college was very busy so this is the first chance I've had to catch up. And what better way to do it then a girls trip itinerary 🌞. We just got back from Split in Croatia so I thought I'd share our itinerary while it's still fresh in my head. Hopefully this will help you if you are planning a trip to Croatia. It has to be one of the most amazing places I have ever been so I am very excited to share it with you. So lets goooooo!! Flights: We booked our flights at the beginning of April, so they were a wee bit of expensive but nothing crazy! We flew with Ryanair from Dublin to Split Airport. Our flight was on a Sunday evening so we drove up and parked the car in the Blue Holiday Carpark. This was so easy to get to the airport and helped make the journey stress free. I use Revolut Premium for my travel insurance which meant I got discounted access to the Lo

Going from stuck in a rut to sticking to a routine

 Hello hello and welcome back to Stay Sásta. It is currently Wednesday evening, it’s dull and to be honest I’m feeling quite meh. Part of me was thinking to myself are you really gunna preach about routine when the most productive thing you did today was make coffee? And the answer to that is yes, yes I am. I think it is so important to be realistic and know that not everyday is going to be perfect and there will be so many days that you don’t stick to your routine. You decide what feels right each day and never put pressure on yourself, just go with the flow. I love having some kind of routine to follow. I’ve gone from getting up at 6am to struggling to get out of bed before 10, but I am working my way back to the early morning club. There’s no right or wrong way to spend your morning so wake up at whatever time works for you. I’m going to be sharing what’s worked for me in trying to get out of a slump. I hope it helps :) 1. UNDERSTAND YOUR WHY: I think this is a key element when you

Hey everyone & welcome to Stay Sásta. I’ve decided to start this blog to tell some stories and share some content. Warning: I’m a complete newbie to this. I love to read blogs and decided it’s about time I start my own. As some of you can probably tell I love Instagram and apps like VSCO but now it’s time to start on a different kind of platform. If you are new to reading blogs just think of this as a script to a vlog, because this is what they came from. Old-school!  Stay Sásta will cover lifestyle, fashion and some travel (eventually). I’m no expert in any of these but I will share my ideas and experiences with anyone who is willing to read them. Some days you will find me talking about a new recipe I tried or a place I’ve visited. Seeing as we all have a little more time on our hands it’s been incredible to see so many people doing things they never would have done, like me right now.   I plan to post 2 blogposts a week covering everything and anything! FYI some of these w
