Filorga Foam Cleanser
In the morning I cleanse my face with Filorga Anti-ageing Foam Cleanser. You pump the foam out and massage it into your face then remove with a flannel and warm water. I don’t think the anti ageing/hyaluronic acid mean too much as it’s just a facewash that you use then wash away however I presume it can’t do any hard. Claims aside this is a lovely creamy foam facewash that is a pleasure to use every morning and really easy and quick. This doesn’t leave your skin tight or dry and is perfect for my dry skin. This is the best foaming facewash that I have found so far.

Hydraluron
Hydraluron was brought to my attention by Caroline of Beauty Mouth http://www.beautymouth.com/2012/08/hall-of-fame-hydraluron.html. I love a lot of products she recommends so I got this when it was on special offer in Boots. I will 100% be repurchasing this serum. You apply the clear serum sparingly over your face before your moisturiser, the hyaluronic acid in the serum means that the moisture in the moisturiser doesn’t evaporate and gets right into your skin where it needs to be. My skin has looked so much less dehydrated since I purchased this and I use it morning and night, I love it! Your skin will feel tight after you apply it but you have to put moisturiser over the top anyway so do not panic. It makes my skin feel and look super soft and the ingredients are fairly minimal so you know it’s not full of a load of crappy filler ingredients. I agree with Caroline in that the tube is too small, I want one the size of a body lotion bottle!

Filorga Hydra Filler Moisturiser
This moisturiser by Filorga also contains two different hyaluronic acids that act in synergy to hydrate and plump the skin. This moisturiser is incredibly hydrating and when I apply it the few fine lines i have by my mouth are almost invisible as it does seem to plump them up. It smells nice and feels really lovely on the skin, I definitely think it makes my skin look more radiant. I am very picky with skincare and do have very very dry skin so I love this. I don’t normally like a pot moisturiser but it’s so thick it probably wouldn’t work in a tube. This works perfectly with the Hydraluron.
Overall I have been really really happy with this skincare routine and my skin is definitely happy. No spots, no dry patches, just soft and smooth radiant skin. I was really impressed with the Filorga products, they are a French brand who are available only in Marks and Spencer and a few other department shops in the UK, they are really good quality and have many French celebs using their products and are in a lot of French magazines such as Vogue, I will definitely go and have a look next time I am in Marks for the other bits in the range.
I like this routine and it seems a shame to switch it up and try my new Origins moisturiser but I shall do that from Monday, fingers crossed!
