Alexis Foreman Shares Her AM & PM Routines

I drink hot water and lemon every morning to aid hydration and get my digestion going. I try to eat breakfast before having a coffee, too. In terms of skincare, I start with cleansing. Right now, I’m using the MyBlend Enzyme Cleansing Foam – I love the silky texture and lovely scent. I follow up with the Tata Harper Hydrating Floral Essence to lock in some extra hydration before layering on the rest of my skincare. Next is the SkinCeuticals C.E.Ferulic which has been my favourite Vitamin C product for years. It’s great for brightening, firming and protecting. I then apply Reome Active Recovery Broth which is such a beautiful nourishing serum – plus, it looks great on the bathroom shelf. 

In the morning, I prioritise hydration. I’ve tried a few hyaluronic acid products over the years but my favourites are the multitasking The Outset Firming Vegan Collagen Prep Serum and Vichy Mineral 89, which is a classic. I then seal that all in with a good moisturiser. I have a couple on the go at any one time and tend to switch them up depending on how I feel. I recently started using the MyBlend Revitalizing Cream which has such a nice, rich texture. I also love the Tata Harper Waterlock Moisturiser which has such a lovely refreshing formula.

A daily facial massage is essential. I apply an oil and use my hands or a gua sha. The oil I’m using right now is the Tata Harper Retinoic Nutrient Face Oil which is full of vitamins to nourish and protect. I finish with SkinCeuticals Brightening UV Defense SPF30 Sunscreen Protection, which does the job well. In the summer I’d use an SPF50, though.

When I have time, I dry brush before my shower. This boosts circulation and stimulates the lymphatic system. It also helps exfoliate the skin to keep it feeling smooth. I use a Dr Barbara Sturm brush because the bristles are nice and firm. I try a lot of different body washes and I’m not especially loyal to one – at the moment, I’m using the Augustinus Bader The Body Cleanser.

I always moisturise my body after a shower or bath. Right now, I’m using the Dr Barbara Sturm Anti Ageing Body Cream which is great at keeping my skin super soft. I also love using a body butter. My top pick would be the Mutha Body Butter – it’s seriously nourishing. If I haven’t done dry body brushing and have time, I’ll do some lymphatic drainage massage. I do this using the Cardea Au Set Body Gua Sha, which is best used with a body oil so you don’t pull the skin too hard. The Firm & Revitalise Dry Body Oil is a nice one. I also take Elle Sera and MyBlend Radiance Supplement Powder too.
