Review: Avene Soothing Hydrating Serum

When it comes to buying skincare these days the words hydrating and soothing sure do reel me in. Gone are the days where I'm grabbing every spot busting product I can get my hands on. I've learnt that the reason I was getting spots and make-up was looking crap was due to the oil stripping products I was using.

When I heard about the Avene Soothing Hydrating Serum I knew it was something I wanted to try. I find Avene to be very well priced and their products enjoyable to use, and this product has definitely been a plus in my collection.

I've found that this makes my skin feel nice and plumped and hydrated! Make-up applies smoothly over the top and when left overnight I wake up with plump skin full of hydration.

The consistency is smooth and light but it's a dream to apply.

I really recommend you pick this up if you're suffering from dehydrated skin.

Hydration Heroes

Although I'm quite an oily person, I definitely think that a good boost of moisture can do wonders for my skin. What many fail to realise is that their skin is probably dehydrated, and in need of some moisture, so today, I'm sharing with you my faves. (You're welcome!)

The Instant Fix - If you're lacking time and your skin is parched, slap on a layer of the Super Facialist by Una Brennan Rose Hydrate Intense Moisture Mask. You only need to leave it on for about five-ten minutes for an intense moisture boost and a leaving of your face going 'ahhhhhh!'

The Overnight Fix - If you need something a bit more intense and a bit more luxurious, then the Origins Overnight Drink-up Intensive Mask should be your go to. Aside from the fact this spells delicious, it leaves your skin plumped and full of life. (Imagine you just eaten something really salty, you're dying of first, and down a bottle of water. This product is the water!)

The Lock In - Moisture levels, like any level go up and down dependent on many factors, and Hydraluron keeps them maintained. Popped on underneath your moisturiser, it locks in any of the moisture particles and boost your moisture levels in your skin. Definitely a product you don't realise is working till you stop using it.

I just want to leave all you other oily skinned peeps (I'm like a granny using the word 'funky' aren't I) I had to bring the Origins High-Potency Night - A - Mins moisturizer to your attention. Perfectly light, blemish fighting, and smells amazing. 

What are your hydration heroes?
