Do you ever get confused about all the different skincare products and what and when you’re meant to use them? Well, I certainly did. Now that I’m in my forties I really need to be looking after my skin so I was over the moon to have a skincare consultation with the very lovely Roz of pai skincare.

The skin care consultation was friendly and relaxed and I had the opportunity to ask lots of questions. I learned a lot too! I never knew that moisturiser absorbs better on slightly damp skin. Something I’ve been doing wrong all these years!

My Skincare Routine

Following my consultation, I got my personalised skincare routine recommendations. After a few weeks of trying the products which I was kindly gifted, I can safely say I am so happy. My skin feels amazing. I feel refreshed in the morning and replenished at night. So what is my routine and what products am I using?

Evening skincare routine:

• Step 1: Light Work – Rosehip Cleansing Oil: Ideal as part of my double-cleanse regime to remove makeup and SPF. The cleansing oils cling to excess sebum and the oils in your makeup to lift them away and leave skin feeling calm and nourished. Massage into dry skin before adding a few drops of water to create a light milk. Rinse thoroughly with water to remove.
• Step 2: Middlemist Seven – Gentle Cream Cleanser – Pai’s cleanser is detergent and alcohol-free, using a trio of nourishing oils to clean my skin thoroughly without stripping away its natural protective oils. For very sensitive skin, Pai recommend cleansing just once a day in the evening. Apply to dry skin and remove with a warm, damp cloth.
• Step 3: Back to Life – Hydration Serum – Designed to provide long-lasting hydration without causing irritation, this serum helps to retain moisture within the skin using a combination of antioxidant Tri-Berries and skin-boosting Hyaluronic Acid. It can be used alone, layered under a moisturiser, oil or applied just to affected areas.
• Step 4: Rosehip Bioregenerate – Universal Facial Oil: Pai’s ultimate sensitive skin multi-tasker, this oil improves the appearance of dry patches, blemishes, scars, sun damage and uneven skin tone. Pai use a super concentrated blend of both the fruit and the seed of the plant, so a little goes a long way. Use alone on slightly damp skin or apply over the top of your serum or moisturiser. Simply press 1-3 drops into the face and neck just a few nights per week at first, increasing the frequency if required. Any night you aren’t wearing the Rosehip Oil you can apply the moisturiser. 

Morning skincare routine:

• Step 1: Cleanse with either Cleanser.
• Step 2: Apply the Back to Life Hydration Serum.
• Step 3: The Pioneer – Mattifying Moisturiser: Free from silicones, beeswax and heavy oils, this moisturiser helps to rebalance oil production and leaves a velvety matte finish. Apply in the morning to damp skin, or after spritzing one of Pai’s face toners.
• Step 4: British Summer Time SPF 30 – Pai use non-nano Zinc Oxide to protect against UVA/UVB damage without causing irritation. The non-greasy formula ensures it is suitable for day-to-day use and can be worn underneath makeup. Apply two fingertip-sized amounts over the top of my preferred moisturise.

The impossible glow for your summer glow

It’s that time of year that I’m wanting a touch of sun-kissed radiance to enliven my skin. That’s where Pai Skincare’s glow drops come in! They give a glow-y boost and are packed with organic skincare benefits.

What do glow drops do?

These liquid drops of radiance add an instant, lit-from-within glow, with either an illuminating or bronzing effect depending on the shade. Pai Skincare’s Bronze shade brings a warm, sun-kissed glow to the skin, whilst Champagne is a lighter, brighter gold, and Rose Gold has a softer pink hue, for a beautiful liquid highlighter effect.

All three shades from Pai Skincare are packed with organic skincare benefits: Hyaluronic Acid adds hydration, while carbon-negative Sea Kelp promotes a smooth and soft complexion, giving good glow inside and out.

Pai Skincare’s glow drops are formulated to be completely customisable. With three shades available, they are suitable for both face and body. You can mix up your routine for all-over radiance.

How do you use them?

1.     As a highlighter

Pai Skincare’s glow drops can be used much like a traditional highlighting make-up product. Apply the product as it comes, using your fingertips or a brush on areas of your face where the light naturally falls. MUAs like applying it to the top of the cheekbones, under the brow bone, at the corner of the eyes and on the cupid’s bow.

2.     Blended with moisturiser or SPF

For an all-over glow, mix a drop or two of your favourite shade with your moisturiser or daily SPF. Simply blend the two products together in your palm before applying as usual. Remember more product equals more glow – you choose just how luminous you want your skin to be.

3.     Under foundation

Looking to up the ante when it comes to a radiant base? Try applying the drops directly to your skin underneath your foundation. Buff into the skin using a brush or sponge, or simply blend in with your fingertips. If you’re using primer, you could also mix it in with that for a glowing finish.

4.     As a blush

Any of the shades will add instant glow to your cheekbones, but the Rose Gold drops with their flattering pink hue are well suited to using as a blush. They can be used on their own to add a little colour to the apples of your cheeks – apply with fingertips, a sponge or brush. Or, mix in with your liquid blush of choice to heighten its luminosity.

5.     Mix with foundation

For a hassle-free and time-saving option, simply add a drop or two to your desired foundation formula in your palm and then apply to your face for a more radiant base.

6.     Directly on the body

Who says make-up is just for your face? When the temperatures rise and inevitably a little more skin is on show, you might like to use the drops on your body. Try applying the drops to the tops of the collarbone or on the front of the legs for a soft-focus sheen.

7.     Blend with body lotion

For an all-over glow, you can add the drops to your favourite body lotion or SPF – whether you choose Bronze, Champagne or Rose Gold, you’ll have instantly radiant skin from top to toe.
