Since having kids, I have completely and totally neglected my self care. I look so horrible and I look far older than what I am. So I’m wondering - what is a good moisturiser or face cream to use?
A good face mask?
A deep hydration product for my hair?
A good powder foundation to use on the go?
Any tips, tricks, hints, recommendations would be great! Thankyou xxx

I use the Aspect range starting at $145 each. Expensive, yes, but an incredible range . I don't use use make up, it ages you more in my opinion. I'm 51 but look two decades younger. My biggest asset is my skin . It takes time to build up the process , but I must admit I do use botox and fillers too with bi monthly intense skin therapy treatments. I don't have any blemishes, discolouration, sunspots, or uneven skin tones. It's more flawless and dewy now, than it was ever in my 20s or 30s . If your budget allows, I highly recommend .
No one thing tho works better than the other as they all work in conjunction with each other for the highest results .
I'm not loyal to any brand, I've just mixed and matched what works for me.
Cleanser - alternate between Simple foaming face wash, Garnier CannaB 3-in-1 face wash and Dermalogica. When my skin feels fine the cheaper ones are great. If I feel a little oily the Dermalogica.
Treatments - after cleansing I use The Ordinary hyaluronic acid, Antipodes face oil and Sukin eye cream.
Moisturiser - either Simple light moisturiser on a day off, or CannaB with SPF for a work day (only in the sun walking from the car). For a day outside I add Edible Beauty SPF50.
Night - Alya pink marine collagen mask.
Once a week before cleansing I use the Edible Beauty scrub and once a week in the evening after work I chuck on a clay mask.
I know it seems like a lot but most are very inexpensive and I always stock up when they're on sale.
The Dermalogica cleanser is the really spendy one. Everything else varies between $8-50.
Just realised in the shower, I didn't answer the hair bit. I'm sorry.
Biolage. Look for it online, I get mine when the big bottles are on sale at Oz Beauty and grab a few. They do shampoo, conditioner and treatment mask. I use the Schwartzkopf EC hair oil daily, the one with the pink coloured moisture drop on the front. Just one pump into my hands and then smooth it through with my fingers.
Alternatively the John Frieda range available at supermarkets is pretty decent and when you get it half price is under 10 bucks a bottle.
You can only do so much on the outside, biggest thing, get Biocell liquid collagen from Modere. It will greatly help your skin, nails, hair and joints. Only need 15mL a day (you drink it). They also sell great skin care. Also lots of water and high does of vitamin C. You will reverse the aging I promise (take photos of you face close up now and every few months for a couple of years for comparison). The collagen has every changed my eye colour from dull dark blue to a lighter bright blue. Amazing!
