Here, Laura Henshaw breaks down her entire beauty routine - so get your notepads ready, friends!
Laura Henshaw's approach to beauty.
"My approach to beauty I would say is minimal and practical. I am pretty no fuss when it comes to most things beauty, so I love products that look and feel natural on my skin."
Like many of us, Laura said her approach and perception of beauty is something that's constantly shifting.
"It's changed so much overtime. I used to be all about covering everything I could on my face, but I have really stripped this back as I feel the most confident when I look like me."
"I know it's super cliché but I truly believe that beauty comes from within, it’s about feeling good in our skin, owning who we are and creating our own definition of ‘beauty’."
Hear, hear!
Laura Henshaw's skincare routine.
If you follow Laura on social media (read: everyone, ever), you'll know she's pretty open about her struggles with hormonal acne - something a lot of us can relate to.
And when it comes to the skincare products she reaches for in order to help calm breakouts and inflammation, there's one specific range she can't get enough of.
"I still get hormonal and general breakouts every now and then, but I do find them easier to manage with good skincare. The La Roche-Posay Effacular range has been a game changer for me. I discovered it while experiencing "iso-skin" breakouts and it is now a big part of my routine."
"I am currently loving the La Roche-Posay Vitamin B, ($69.95), and La Roche-Posay Vitamin C Serum, ($71.95), Sunday Riley ‘Good Genes’ Serum, ($183) before bed, and a few of the products from the Liberty Belle RX range - Game Changer, ($142), and Eye Do are fabulous."
*Adds to cart*
"I have also recently started using some of the beautiful products from Rawkanvas - the Canvas Resurfacing Mask ($55) is a fantastic AHA + BHA treatment, and I love the Eternal Collagen Serum, ($59), too (in the AM).
"And of course SPF 50+ every day - La Roche-Posay Anthelios, ($31.95), is my go to."
Sun protection on the daily? Full marks for you, Henshaw.
Laura Henshaw's everyday makeup look.
When it comes to her everyday makeup look, Laura tends to go bare-faced most days, butalwaysbrushes up her eyebrows with brow gel before leaving the house: "I feel like it makes the biggest difference," she said.
