‘Skincare is my passion and having the opportunity to share it with Primark customers is a dream come true’ says Simone Gannon. Known online as SimoneScribes, the beauty editor and skincare enthusiast has curated her Expert Edit of spring skincare staples that won’t break the bank.

As we shift into the warmer, sunnier weather there is no better time to transition your skincare routine whilst giving your beauty bag a spring clean. Simones top tips? ‘Introduce lighter, slightly milder products like the Creamy Gentle Cleanser with water-based hydrating serums and moisturisers and exfoliate a little more frequently to get your skin glowing’.

It’s no secret that our makeup will be having a spring switch up too. Simone shares which products from her Expert Edit make a great base for your makeup. ‘The Hyaluronic Acid Moisturiser is a must before makeup as it’s lightweight and deeply hydrating formula gives your skin a plump and smooth feel. Also, mixing the Polyglutamic Acid with your foundation will give you the most beautiful, dewy foundation application ever!’ 

‘The Polyglutamic Acid Serum, Hyaluronic Acid Moisturiser and SPF30 Sunscreen are essential for your everyday routine. If you are short on time but still want to take care of your skin, these are the three products to reach for to hydrate, plump and protect your skin.’

With the recent Tik Tok beauty craze sharing the importance of wearing SPF all year round, we asked Simone to share the benefit of adding SPF into your everyday routine. ‘Sunscreen protects your skin from sunburn, reduces your chances of developing skin cancer, and slows the development of fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation’. It’s no surprise that Simone included the SPF Moisturising Serum Drops to include in her Expert Edit!

‘With so many ingredients and steps these days, building an effective skin routine can be overwhelming’ says Simone. Her favourite stand-alone product? ‘It’s a toss-up between the Polyglutamic Acid and the SPF30 drops. Both are incredibly hydrating and work beautifully for all skin types, especially sensitive skin’.

‘A good facial roller can make a difference in how your skin looks and feels. This fantastic ceramic ball roller can be used in many ways. To help cool and depuff the skin, lift and sculpt, promote lymphatic drainage, and roll the products deeper into the skin’.

Having a good skincare routine is essential for prepping your complexion for the day ahead. ‘The Creamy Cleanser, Caffeine Eye Serum, Polyglutamic Acid and Hyaluronic Acid can be used every day, morning and evening. In the morning, make sure to include the SPF30 drops. In the evening, should you need an extra boost of hydration, use the Polyglutamic + Niacinamide Sheet Mask before the Polyglutamic Acid Serum’.
