Jules’ Evening Skincare Routine
It’s taken me a while to get into a groove with my evening skincare routine, mostly because I have the attention span of a goldfish and like to try lots of different products all the time. It has left my skin a little frazzled though, so a few months ago I decided to regulate my routine in an effort to rebalance my oily/combo/dehydrated skin and the consistency has really paid off. Here are the simple steps I follow and the products I use in them:
What’s the difference between ANR and MRC?
There are lots of people who ask us about the difference between Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair (ANR) and Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate (MRC). They are actually very different products but until you’ve tried or used them, it’s easy to get them confused. Here’s the breakdown:
My Backup Beauty Bag
Between regular weekends away, trips to the gym and the odd holiday, I find myself packing, unpacking and re-packing my toiletry bag all too regularly. Tedious tasks like these really push my buttons to I decided to create a dedicated beauty kit that I could literally throw in my bag and go. Many of the products are dictated by convenience (i.e. what I happen to have in a smaller size) rather than preference, but for important things like my serum and moisturiser, I tend to use my favourites. The kit contains miniature hair goodies, travel-friendly skincare, some shower essentials and…
Winter Beauty Update
Masks My collection of face masks is getting a little out of control but I really do love them! My combination skin gets particularly dehydrated in winter, which can leave my face uncomfortably tight and even stinging in places from lack of water. The Clarins Hydra-Quench Cream Mask is packed with hyaluronic acid (obvs), and other happy skin ingredients like katafray bark and vitamin E that help to prevent moisture loss. Similarly, the Antipodes Aura Manuka Honey Mask uses nature’s most powerful moisturiser to draw water to the skin. Both work beautifully as overnight treatments too. Skin Serums and oils…

Jules’ Experience: Kiehl’s Change Your Skin Challenge
My experience with Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate was, overall, very positive. As I mentioned in my previous post on the subject, I had already been using MRC a couple of nights a week in rotation with my Alpha-H Liquid Gold and a regular night cream. The idea of the challenge was to use it every single night for 28 days and so that’s what I did, adjusting my bedtime beauty routine accordingly.
Camilla’s Experience: The Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate Change Your Skin Challenge
A few weeks ago Jules and I started the Change Your Skin Challenge with Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate (“MRC”). I have been keeping very quiet about the Challenge because my skin has been quite temperamental, whereas Jules’ skin has responded really well and is looking better than I’ve ever seen it.
Bedtime Beauty: My Current Routine
As you’ll know by now, Camilla and I are participating in the 28-day Change Your Skin challenge with Kiehl’s by trialling their Midnight Recovery Concentrate for a month. It has forced me to be much more disciplined about my routine so that the results of the challenge aren’t skewed by all the different products I use, something that’s very difficult for a product junkie like me. I usually work in a three day cycle with my nighttime skincare, alternating moisturiser (at the moment I’m using Mama Mio Mighty Moisture), Alpha-H Liquid Gold and a beauty oil. Obviously I’ve now cut…
