Sienna X is a well-known fake tan beauty brand, but what isn’t so well known is its incredible skincare collection.
Here are a few of my favourites that I’m currently using in my morning, evening and weekly skincare routines…
The Cleansing Lotion
Washing your face should be more gentle than you think, as it is the most common way of disrupting your skin barrier and leading to sensitivity and inflammation.
This lotion is packed with nourishing Organic Coconut Oil to effectively remove makeup, help restore moisture and remove negative traces left behind by pollution. It can be used on dry skin as the first step in double cleansing, or on wet skin as the second — so you only need to buy one product for both steps.

The Chemical Peel
This is a wonderful alternative to The Ordinary Peeling Solution, which is intended for use by those with skin well accustomed to using high levels of AHA (e.g. glycolic acid). For many people — particularly those new to skincare — the levels in The Ordinary peel are too high and runs the risk of causing damage and hyperpigmentation. The Sienna X Chemical Peel is 10% glycolic acid and 5% fruit acids and can be used once or twice a week for the same effect.
I was having a breakout on my forehead of painful spots under the skin, struggling to break to the surface of the skin. I used the chemical peel and woke up the next day with whiteheads, and my skin cleared up within the week.

The Miracle Mask
Brightening and deeply moisturising, this weekly mask contains Manuka Honey to soothe and hydrate skin, amino acids to helps boost skin’s moisture level, DL-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate which is a natural skin-conditioning agent and antioxidant, Oat Kernel Oil which is a natural antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant (making it excellent for anti-ageing), and Chicory Root Extract, a natural prebiotic that rebalances skin’s microbiota and provides skin conditioning.

The Cleansing Balm
If you’re not already double cleansing you’re late to the party. Using an oil or balm (like this one), and applying it to try skin will effectively break down makeup, SPF, dirt and oil build up from the day. This prepares your skin for a face wash and is a much more advanced method for cleaning and caring for the skin on your face.

The Retinol Serum
Unlike the chemical peel, this retinol is for longtime users or those with mature skin. It is filled with the highest level of collagen-boosting retinol in the UK — at 0.3% this is proven to be more effective in anti-ageing than other commonly used retinol derivatives.
It is combined with Kakadu Plum (known to have 55x more Vitamin C than oranges) and is amazing for brightening the complexion, reducing hyper-pigmentation, and protecting from harsh environmental aggressors, such as pollution. It also has Pentavitin, which gives up to 72 hours of hydration.

The Facial Oil
Last on my last and the very last step in any skincare routine is facial oil. This one is lightweight, perfect for day and night, and can be used to both massage and hydrate the skin with just one small drop. It contains five botanical lipids with natural rosehip seed oil, expertly blended to create a nourishing and skin softening treat.
