Did you see that girl, you know, the one on TikTok? It’s become somewhat of a social media phenomenon as of late to try and become ‘that girl’. You know the one We're talking about, who always has flawless glowy skin and just seems to have her life together. It’s the contemporary version of an ‘it girl’ that has flooded the wellness side of the internet. The secret to achieving the lifestyle is hard to pinpoint because, the truth is, anyone can be ‘that girl’ - that's the beauty of it. Healthy living and making self-care a non-negotiable are the pillars of this trend. ‘That girl’ enthusiasts have mastered the art of the routine, finding structure in their daily habits that allow them to be the best and healthiest versions of themselves. Where better to start in discovering your ‘that girl’ era than with your skincare routines?We're going to help you on your healthy-living journey by creating a morning and nighttime skincare routine that you can use as part of your daily self-care rituals.Morning RoutineClean and fresh is the aim of the game when it comes to your ‘that girl’ morning routine and this theme continues throughout your routine. Kick things off with a cleanser that will wash away all the make-up, oil etc., without stripping your skin. We recommend the 111SKIN Cryo Pre-Activated Toning Cleanser. It’s not only great at cleansing the skin but also refreshes it with the use of cryo tech, which gives the skin a cooling sensation and can reduce puffiness as well as inflammation - the perfect start to your morning.Following on with the fresh look, you'll want to energise your skin so you can look and feel healthy and luminous. This can be achieved with a range of serums and ingredients, namely vitamin c, hyaluronic acid and glycerin. Now, we all know that the morning can be a rush and you may not have time to apply an array of different products. Fear not, because Dr Barbara Sturm's The Good C Vitamin C Serum has it and much more. While its main ingredient is vitamin c, which is one of the best for brightening tired skin, it also combines hyaluronic acid and glycerin to give the skin a radiant and smooth complexion with reduced blemishes.The next and final step is going to be to moisturise and protect your skin with SPF. We have a little secret that is just too good not to share. There’s no gatekeeping here at Skinstation! We recommended using a tinted moisturiser. This is perfect for your ‘that girl’ aesthetic because it combines protection from the sun with a beautiful, even complexion. This trick is especially good for those ‘no makeup days’ when you want to have some coverage without diving into your makeup bag. We recommend the MZ Skin Tint & Protect Skin Perfecting SPF 30. It combines all the goodness of MZ Skin products and that important broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection with the finish of a lightweight foundation, giving you a sunkissed glow that can last all day. It’s the perfect 3-in-1 step for those busy mornings.Night RoutineNow, after a long day, you want to come home and give yourself some much-needed, much-deserved self-care. That's why your ‘that girl’ night routine should focus on pampering and calming the skin whilst also being very effective. The first step of any nightly skincare routine should be a double cleanse. The first removes makeup, SPF and other products that have sat on the skin throughout the day. The second penetrates deeper into the skin to remove pore-clogging oils and dirt.A toner is key after removing all the dirt from the day because it preps the skin for other ingredients by balancing its pH level. The  Obagi Nu-Derm Toner is a great addition to your routine. With witch hazel and aloe vera, it purifies and soothes the skin whilst controlling sebum production.As we mentioned before, there should be a good amount of pampering in your ‘that girl’ evening routine and what better way to achieve this than with a face mask? There are many facemasks around that can bring out different results. Some will get rid of all the nasties in the skin, and others will use a highly concentrated formula that the skin will soak up to give it a soothing, hydrating boost. The 111SKIN Y Theorem Bio Cellulose Facial Mask falls into this category. It contains biomimetic peptides and specially selected ingredients that protect the skin from environmental factors and helps to calm and soothe irritated, sensitive skin.Finally, a nightly routine isn't complete without a good, powerful moisturiser to lock in all those ingenious ingredients overnight. Everybody's moisturiser needs are very personal then. Some love rich and thicker formulas and others prefer a lighter approach. So, we recommend a moisturiser that takes the best bits from each of these. The Obagi Hydrate is a great way to achieve a highly effective, highly hydrating result on the skin whilst not having an overly thick formula. It uses mango and shea butter, avocado and glycerin to help the skin be at its best for the next day.So, there you have it: how you can achieve the ‘that girl’ look. All it takes is some good ingredients and most importantly, confidence!

The first daffodils are up, and with their emergence, our thoughts turn to spring. March is the time to do a thorough spring clean, not only throughout the house, but on skin too. In fact, you may find that it is not looking its best right now. The indulgence of Christmas, followed by January blues, lack of sunshine and changes in diet may have resulted in dull, dehydrated, blemished, rough or uneven skin. So, let’s welcome the milder, sunnier months with revitalised, radiant skin. Read on to find out how to effectively transition your skincare from winter to spring. Exfoliation Skinstation recommends: Medik8 Press & Glow During winter, skin can become dry, lacklustre and prone to congestion. As you transition your skincare from winter to spring, gentle exfoliation helps to remove dead surface cells, refine texture and restore a fresh, healthy glow. Introducing Medik8 Press & Glow, a clinically-tested daily exfoliating tonic formulated with PHAs. It supports optimal cell turnover while preserving the moisture barrier, ensuring radiance without irritation. Regular use helps improve clarity and enhances the absorption of your spring skincare essentials, promoting a smoother, more luminous complexion. Antioxidant We Love: SkinCeuticals Silymarin CF This effortlessly light facial serum is the result of six years of ground-breaking research and development. SkinCeuticals found that specific combinations of antioxidants complement each other and work synergistically, producing results far superior to single antioxidant serums. Clinical trials demonstrated that SkinCeuticals Silymarin CF improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by up to 24%. Using Silymarin, an optimised concentration of milk thistle plant, this formulation prevents specific signs of ageing such as loss of firmness, spots, or expression lines. All thanks to the antioxidant power of Vitamin C. Also clinically proven to reduce oil oxidation by 76%, this is an excellent specific anti-ageing treatment for those with oily and blemish-prone skin. Hydration Skinstation Recommends: Obagi Daily Hydro Drops After exfoliating, it’s vital to rehydrate skin. Additionally, as skin readjusts to springtime, you can swap heavy moisturiser for a lighter one. OBAGI Daily Hydro-Drops™ Facial Serum can be used separately or underneath Obagi’s other hydrators. This light silky serum instantly hydrates and boosts skin radiance not just superficially, but at a cellular level too. It can also be used as a targeted treatment for fine lines and wrinkles. Hero ingredients include antioxidant Abyssinian and Hibiscus Oil and Omega – 9 and Omega – 6 fatty acids which are supportive of the skin’s natural barrier, which sadly depletes as we age. After continued use, you can expect glowing, nourished, and younger-looking skin. SPF Skinstation recommends: Heliocare Gelcream SPF 50 As daylight hours increase, SPF is non-negotiable in any spring skincare routine. UV rays remain a leading cause of premature ageing, hyperpigmentation and long-term skin damage, even on cloudy days. A lightweight, breathable formula keeps skin protected as temperatures rise. Heliocare Gelcream SPF offers advanced broad-spectrum sun protection with a comfortable, non-greasy finish ideal for everyday wear. Enriched with Fernblock technology and antioxidants, it defends against UV exposure while helping to maintain skin health and prevent environmental stress. A reliable final step, ensuring your skin stays shielded throughout spring and beyond.

Retinol is one of the most popular skincare ingredients currently available on the market and for good reason! Retinol, like all Vitamin A’s, speeds up the skin’s cell rejuvenation process, encouraging the production of collagen and smoothing fine lines in the process.    Whilst this sounds like a dream come true, many of us shelve our retinol in the summer months - but is this something we have to do? We are here to talk about everything retinol, and what you can do this summer to keep using your favourite skincare product even when the sun is shining. Should You Skip Retinol In The Summer? Have you heard that you can't use retinol in the summertime? Well, we are here to get rid of that skincare myth. Retinol is great when it comes to increasing skin cell production and unclogging pores. Retinol works to exfoliate your skin, as well as increase your natural production of collagen. This can, in turn, diminish your appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. If you want your skin to appear fresh and have that natural glow, then our Skincare Experts would recommend getting your hands on a retinol product.    However, many believe that as soon as the sun starts shining, you should put a halt to using retinol - well, this is simply not true. It has been said that during summer, if you want to avoid irritation, you have to not use your favoured retinol product but we are here to reassure you that you can retinol all year round - in fact, retinol works best when you use it across a number of days. What Happens If You Use Retinol & Go In The Sun? So, where does this myth come from? Retinol can be slightly harsher on sensitive skin, and it’s vital that you use it in small amounts if you are a first-time user. It’s also recommended that you use a strength that is right for you and your skin type - if you use one that is too strong, you may notice irritation, itchiness and scaly patches on the skin. Retinol, like all new skincare products, should be slowly introduced into your skincare routine, to ensure your skin reacts well to it.    Retinols themselves are actually sensitive to sunlight, which means that when you apply a skincare product with this ingredient, it can mean you become cautious about going into the sun. The sunlight can make retinoids less effective and many believe that it may make your skin more likely to get sunburnt.    However, we are here to clear up this misconception. Yes, being exposed to the sun shortly after applying your retinol will make it less efficient. However, by applying it in the evening, you'll be able to make the most of the retinol’s efficacy through the night.    Another reason why some people are cautious about using retinol in summer is that retinol can cause excess redness and sun damage to the skin. This is because retinol increases cell turnover, and the newer, rejuvenated skin is much more sensitive to the sun. But this shouldn’t put you off using your retinol in summer - simply protecting your skin with an SPF 30+ is all that is needed to stop your skin from experiencing sensitivity. How To Safely Use Retinol In The Summer? 1. Pick a Retinol Product That is Right For You There are many, many retinol products on the market, so choosing the right one for you is vital. Take the Obagi Retinol 0.5% for example. This amazing skincare must-have features a formula that not only contains retinol, but microencapsulated retinol. This means that it will be absorbed by the skin gradually, over time.  It breaks down the layers of the skin over time. This can reduce any irritation that may be experienced when using a retinol product, and allows you to still get all the amazing benefits. It is also recommended that you wear SPF if exposed to the sun when using this product in your routine.   2. SPF All The Way Retinol can make the skin slightly more sensitive to the sun, but it’s nothing a little SPF can't combat. Having good sun protection as part of your skincare routine is a must - especially if you plan on using retinol. As we've always said, sunscreen is important all year round, but particularly in the summer sun, you need to protect your skin from those harmful UV rays.    Our Skincare Experts recommend the SkinCeuticals Ultra Facial Defence with SPF 50. The lightweight sunscreen is formulated with state-of-the-art UV filters that are easily absorbed for maximum protection to prevent UV-induced collagen breakdown, as well as UV-induced hyperpigmentation and other signs of premature ageing caused by those nasty rays.  We would say that the frequency of applying retinol or retinoid in the summer does not necessarily need to be altered unless your skin tells you so. Unless there is a significant sensitivity when using retinol, you won’t have to limit your retinol use in the summer - just make sure you are keeping top of the good old SPF.   3. Evening Skincare Routine The golden rule of retinol is to apply in the evening. This allows the retinol to get to work without interference from the sun, rejuvenating your skin overnight. we'd recommend cleansing the skin and then waiting for it to dry completely before applying a light layer of retinol. If you're concerned about dryness, you could also apply a moisturiser after this, but it isn't a necessary step for everyone.

As the seasons shift, our skin must continuously adapt to changing environmental conditions. Reduced daylight, colder temperatures and lower humidity can all impact barrier function, often leaving skin feeling dry and sensitised. While heavier layers and richer moisturisers naturally become part of your routine, it is important not to overlook the areas most vulnerable to the elements. The lips, in particular, lack the same protective layers as the rest of the skin, making them more prone to dehydration and discomfort during autumn and winter. By introducing targeted nourishment now, you can help prevent chapping, cracking and sensitivity before they arise, maintaining a smooth, supple and comfortably hydrated look throughout the colder months. Dry Lips In Autumn & Winter As the weather becomes more autumnal, it's usual for lips to feel drier than normal. You can blame it on the fact that skin in this area is incredibly thin and more sensitive. That doesn't leave an awful lot of protection against the elements, whether it’s hot sunshine or arctic winds. Couple that with colder air, which doesn't retain moisture well and central heating, another moisture stripper, and our poor lips don't stand much of a chance. Another reason is that lips don't contain oil-producing glands either, so there’s no natural means of keeping the area moist. And if you're thinking, hang on a sec, what about licking my lips, whilst saliva may give you an instant boost of moisture, it soon evaporates, leaving lips even drier. Something else to keep in mind is your hydration levels. That’s because colder weather can often put us off drinking water during the colder months as we tend to stick to hot drinks. So, it’s even more vital to maintain the recommended daily intake since dehydration equals drier lips. This is the one to restore definition to the lip contour, minimise lines and wrinkles, boost hydration levels and enhance volume. It does this on a number of levels, firstly by intensely hydrating and repairing the skin, then boosting circulation which revives the natural lip colour, strengthening the vermillion border (outline) to prevent feathering and restoring natural volume. It also offers a protective action against the drying effects of lipsticks and stains. Truly, a lip product to achieve fuller, softer, kissable lips, ready for that mistletoe! Skinstation Recommends At Skinstation, we curate clinically advanced formulations that reinforce the delicate lip barrier while restoring lasting hydration. SkinCeuticals Antioxidant Lip Repair delivers powerful replenishment to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and revive softness.

Cleansing is one of the essential steps in your everyday skincare routine. It removes any dirt, heavy makeup, or environmental stressors which your skin has come into contact with throughout the day. Not only that, but it also takes away any excess oils from your pores, and prepares your skin for the rest of your skincare routine. There are many techniques that people swear by - double cleansing is one of them! Let’s get into what double cleansing is, and if you should be using it as part of your beauty routine in 2023.What Is Double Cleansing?Double cleansing is a technique which was first popularised in Japan and South Korea but is now spreading in popularity across the world. Simply put, double cleansing involves two different types of cleansers being used, one after the other. To clarify, there are no guidelines here. You can use whatever cleansers you like - and you don't have to stray from your absolute favourites. However, saying that this technique was popularised with good old-fashioned oil-based cleansers. However, more modern cleansing balms and general cleansers have slightly more advanced ingredients nowadays. They typically include an ingredient known as an emulsifier, which allows the oil to mix with water, and more of a milky emulsion. This means we can say goodbye to any greasy residue that can be left over from an oil cleanser.When Should You Double Cleanse?So, now we know what we are getting ourselves into, how often should we be double cleansing? It’s common with the double cleansing technique to only do it at night. After all, whilst we sleep, our skin spends its time creating our all-important natural oils, and producing more collagen to prevent sagging and fine lines. Also, the end of the day is the time when our skin is more likely to be covered in makeup, and dirt. If you are someone who wears makeup, then double cleansing daily is a great way to keep your skin healthy, and bright. If you choose the au natural look, then a simple one-step cleanse will do the job. Most environmental stressors, grime and dirt can be removed with a standard cleansing technique.What Are The Benefits Of Double Cleansing?There are so many benefits to cleansing your skin on a regular basis. It can reduce inflammation of your skin, boost circulation and help improve signs of ageing. However, double cleansing also comes with its very own set of benefits as well.The main benefit of double cleansing is that the first cleanser will break down any makeup or SPF you have been wearing throughout the day. It can also clear away any dirt and prevent excess oils from building up as well - and then, the magic of the second cleanse takes place. The second cleanse then goes in to address particular skin concerns. You should always look for a cleanser with hydrating ingredients that will work to smooth, or exfoliate your skin. If you suffer from blemishes, this is a great way to introduce spot-fighting ingredients, such as salicylic acid to the skin.How To Double CleanseNow we know the what and the why, let’s talk about the how - how do we double cleanse? Well, simply put: Firstly, wash your face with an oil-based cleanser or serum to remove your makeup and SPF. The oils will cut through dirt on the surface of your skin. Then, wash your face with a water-based cleanser. This will remove any dead skin, bacteria, or sweat that has built up deeper into the skin. Our SkinCeuticals Simply Clean Cleanser is the ideal product to use daily and can be added as your second step to your double cleansing routine. This powerful face wash exfoliates uneven or rough skin and removes stubborn makeup residue, whilst still being gentle enough to use every day.  You know the drill - after your double cleanse, you can continue on your normal skincare routine.

If you're thinking about adding another skincare product into your daily routine, or even thinking about testing out a new product, then we've got some top tips for you! Purchasing new, good quality skin care can be a pricey endeavour, especially when it comes to ensuring that it matches with your skin type and needs. In this article, we will be looking at what patching testing is, the importance of completing one and how you can save money when purchasing a new product that you are unsure of how it’s going to interact with your skin.

Incorporate collagen into your skincare routine to promote skin firmness and elasticity while also turning back the clock on your skin.

What are crow's feet? Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes are known as "Crows Feet" or "smile lines" because of how they appear when a person smiles. Crow's feet are a typical occurrence and a natural sign of ageing, appearing when the skin gradually loses its elasticity and becomes more prone to wrinkles. How Collagen Can Help With Wrinkles like crows feet Collagen, is a blend of three amino acids found in our body; it's a natural substance that supports the structural integrity of our bodies and is present in connective tissue, skin, tendons, bones, and cartilage. As we age our bodies collagen production naturally slows down resulting in our skin losing its elasticity and the occurrence of fine and wrinkles.  As a result of this, incorporating collagen products or collagen supplements in our lifestyle in order to maintain adequate collagen levels in the body has been found to promote skin health in general. Making up for the collagen naturally lost in our bodies as we age, collagen's role as an anti-ageing agent is revolutionary, due to our understanding of our bodies we can introduce collagen into our lifestyle to help target fine lines and wrinkles.
