Hi, I'm Paddy Smyth
You may recognise me from Channel 4's reality show
"The Circle" or Ireland's "First Dates"
This is my daily skincare routine for Attitude magazine,
in partnership with Kiehl's
I'm a self-confessed differently abled party girl
So I'm going to show you the tricks to the trade,
to keep young, fresh and get that glow-up, using Kiehl's
When I really started to get into skincare,
is post-"The Circle"
Really because I started to realise,
how dull and fatigued my skin would get
with these really long days
And I'm not going to lie nights out
So this is when I started really getting into skincare
It's so important to me
And it makes me just feel good in the morning
to have a routine
Because, I am not a very routine-based person
So to have a skincare routine, and to look in the mirror
and just feel good, on the outside as well as the in
is just perfect to me
Leaving your make-up on, is a big no-no. For me especially
It clogs my pores, it dries my skin out and even more
So, a big beauty tip for me,
is to really really make sure to take off that make-up
Even if you are, like drunk getting into bed
Just make sure that make-up comes off your face
and you allow your skin to breathe
The Midnight Recovery
which is fantastic for taking your make-up off at night time,
after events, or after the club,
three or four pumps of this it smells of lavender and primrose
It's beautiful
I will also tell you a funny story about this
One time I was at a special type of nightclub
where I had glitter where no one should have glitter
And this is the only thing that removed that glitter
Facial Fuel by Kiehl's, which I absolutely adore
This actually started off my skincare routine
It has caffeine in it, which is amazing
for waking you up in the morning,
and giving you that energising feeling
You also should keep a spare bottle in the fridge
It's like a cold drink of water to skin, it's stunning
I also, when I was on sets in the past,
this is the first thing I'd ever use, you know?
It's just so light, you put it on your face
It like wakes you up
Give you that the radiant feel
And you just feel amazing when you put on, honestly
So next up, we have Kiehl's Avocado Eye Cream
I'm going to be fully transparent here
the first time I ever used this,
I actually put it on my forehead
I didn't know how to put on eye cream
Okay, I didn't, I thought you just put it on with this finger
and drag the skin, and that is completely the wrong way
You actually apply with your ring finger,
you slightly lightly dab the eye area
And then, you know, just a tiny bit,
because I used to use a lot
And apparently it's meant to be better if you use a tiny bit
I'm loving this smell of it, it's obviously avocado
It's light, it's fresh, and it's yummy
So you may think, when you look at me I'm a golden goddess
And that's what I want you to think
But, I'm being deceptive because I have absolutely
really really pale Irish skin - lily of the valley.
So, SPF is so important for my skin
I have to use every day just to protect it from the light
Ultra Light UV Defense gel, which is light in texture
So for pale skin like myself,
that is just what I'm looking for
Especially with the changing seasons
If you're like myself and suffer with dry skin
you know, with the colder seasons coming into play,
can be a lot harsher on your skin
So, a moisturiser for me is essential
That's why I love the Facial Fuel,
and the avocado eye cream
They're just essential for me in these
kinda tough winter, autumn months
I'm sure we'll invest in our winter coat or winter bag
You know, whatever it is
I think we have to change
and look at it as we can invest in our skin care as well
So for me, Kiehl's is an amazing investment
And plus, they are a loud and proud brand
They're so inclusive
And as a disabled and also an LGBTQ person,
it's so important to me to align myself
with these sorts of brands out there
