Queen Street Apothecary Suggested Morning Skin Care Routine

First Up Is Cleansing

Did you know your skin can exfoliate itself overnight? Or try to push any impurities or toxins out? Cleaning your skin in the morning preps your skin for the day and gives your skin a nice little wake up [slap] in the face.

Combining the gentle (yet highly effective) cleansing power of White Willow Bark Extract with the fruit enzymes of Papaya and Pineapple PLUS the powerhouse ingredients of Australian native Lilli Pilli and Juniper Berry extracts, our Gentle Gel Enzyme Cleanser will help to naturally exfoliate, brighten and soften your skin as it cleans. 

This cleanser is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin babes BUT it's highly recommended for congested, sluggish or maturing skin.

Tone Your Skin

Heard that you need to tone, but not sure what it does? Well our toning mist can add hydration back to your skin (especially after a big sleep where you skin could have become dehydrated).

Packed with active, skin-loving native ingredients, our LUSH Alcohol-Free Quandong + Kakadu Plum Toning Mist is purposely designed to keep your skin feeling fresh and hydrated all day or overnight

It's a nice spritz of 'wake up' and can also be used during the day, (over make-up if necessary) for a little refresh.

The Good Stuff [AKA The Serums]

Get to know, love and use serums effectively! Morning serums that will see a boost in hydration, brightness and overall skin health are the Hyaluronic Acid Serum and the Vitamin C Serum.

Hyaluronic Acid is perfect if you suffer from dehydrated or dry skin. It's also great for maturing skin that is starting to lack moisture.

Also perfect the morning after too many vinos or too many wake-ups with the baby!

How many ways can we say we love Vitamin C? You know when your skin has that *special* glow - it looks fresh and healthy, bright and happy? That's what our Vitamin C Serum can help you see every morning. 

It's a go-to product for anyone with congested and dull skin, and perfect for maturing skin also.

Shop Serums

We suggest a 60 second pause between product application to allow for full absorbtion. So go, put the kettle on, then resume!

Moisturise

Moisturise. Moisturise. Moisturise. Your skin needs moisture to plump it, hydrate it and to protect it.

Well moisturised skin will also create a perfect base for your make-up.

The Queen Street Apothecary Peptide Cream [AKA our OG moisturiser] contains Hydrolyzed Rice Protein (a vegan peptide) 
as well as naturally derived actives; Native Snowflower Extract (which comes from the white flowers on the Tea Tree plant) and Co-Enzyme Q10 (a naturally occurring antioxidant in the body).

This little baby is perfect for anyone who likes a light, non-sweaty moisturiser. It can also assist in smoothing fine lines and wrinkles and will make your skin feel oh-so-velvety-soft.

If you prefer a richer, thicker cream then you want to take a look at BOUNCE: Firming Moisturiser. Perfect for mature skin or skin that is naturally dry and tends to need more moisturising overnight.
She's a delight to layer over your serum of a night time, or if your skin needs it, great to wear under your SPF during the day.

She is naturally firming using key active ingredients: Vitamin C, Malic Acid, Pomegranate and Co-Enzyme Q10.
