Amanda's Skincare Recommendations

I’m Amanda, the owner of Bravura, and I know how tricky it can be to build a solid skincare routine when you’re using actives like acids. To make things easier, I’ve put together a complete routine designed to be used alongside our chemical exfoliators. If none of the routines feel quite right for your particular skin concern, please do get in touch, I'm always happy to point you in the right direction or create a routine tailored specifically to you.

It’s important to choose the routine that matches your skin type, not just how your skin feels at the moment. For example, if your skin is usually oily but currently feels dry, you’d still choose products for oily skin while focusing on hydration. Likewise, if your skin is naturally dry but has become a little oily and flaky due to over-stimulation, products designed for dry skin would still be the best fit.

I’ve kept everything as simple as possible, there’s no need to answer multiple questions or enter your email address. When you’re ready, just select your skin type from the links below.

• Oily, Combination, Neutral (not oily or dry) Skin
• Dry Skin
• Combination of Oily & Dry Skin

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Because we don’t test on animals, our products haven’t been specifically tested for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. None of the ingredients we use are known to carry official warnings for avoidance during pregnancy, so using acids is very much a personal choice. That said, I would personally recommend avoiding salicylic acid while pregnant or breastfeeding, just to be on the safe side.

A bit about me

I’ve been in the beauty industry for over 25 years - more than half of my life! Beauty has never been just a job for me; it’s a genuine passion. That passion is what led me to create Bravura, and later to study product formulation, so I could truly understand skincare at a deeper level and help design products based on the real questions and feedback I receive from customers every day.

I created the advice pages above because I found myself giving the same recommendations again and again. I’m always happy to help, I genuinely love offering advice but replying individually does mean there’s sometimes a wait. The guidance you’ll find here is exactly what I would recommend if you emailed me directly. And of course, if you have any other questions or need extra help, please do get in touch.

If you’d like to follow me on social media, HERE is my personal Instagram. It’s a relaxed mix of skincare, pets, and everyday life, as well as the more reflective side of me - spirituality, self-development, and the things that help me stay balanced.
