My current Skin Care Routine // Summer

Hello darlings.

I haven't written an updated skin care in the longest time. I have tried and love a lot of new products since my last post and i'm excited to share my new routine with you! 

Garnier Micellar Water:

I'll start off with the first step my skin care routine, it is to first take of my makeup. I gave up with using wipes years ago i only use them when i'm travelling or i'm ill or feeling lazy, you know how it goes. I've been a long standing fan of Micellar water an i've tried a few over the years and the one i always go back to is the Garnier one. Its perfect, it dissolves makeup like a dream, no need to rinse and there's no smell or taste to it.  

Superdrug Deep Action 2in1 Detoxifying Cream Wash and Mask:

Next up washing my face, an important part! I have suffered with problem skin for quite some time, if you are a regular reader you've heard me say it a million times. One thing that was helping my skin was the contraceptive pill but now i'm pregnant (previous post) i am no longer taking it so my bad skin has come back. So deep action products like this one are really helping my skin. Plus you can always use it as a mask too which is great. 

Simple Clear Skin Exfoliator:

Similar to the previous product this one is aimed at problem skin. This exfoliator is gentle and lathers well. Its s very gentle exfoliator lots i've tried have been too harsh for my dry skin. I have always love Simple's products they are also so gentle on my skin and i think its a great product for teenagers and people with sensitive and spot prone skin. 

Vichy Aqualia Thermal Serum:

I review this products a couple months ago, it was my little splurge for finishing my dissertation and i have to say i'm so happy that i purchase it. With this product you do not need a lot, a pump or two goes a long way! The liquid drys fast, it isn't sticky or tacky so its perfect to apply first thing in the morning and to wear under makeup. It provides a smooth base and it is absorbed into the skin quickly. I haven't tried many serums so i don't have much to compare it to but i really like it.

Palmer Coco Butter Line Smoothing Eye Cream: 

Last of all eye cream. I've only just started using this product but i already love it. Its thick, creamy and rubs in beautifully. I don't think this product work miracles, it brightens eyes but i wouldn't say it helps with wrinkles if i'm honest. But as an everyday eye cream its pretty good! 

I'd love to know have you tried any of these products?

My Minimal Current Skin Care Routine I Perfect Fixations

Hello darlings.

I'm gonna put my hands up and say recently i've been very lazy with my skin care routine, I either forget to use anything or suddenly rush and use all my products (which is a lot) at once which probably explains why recently i have terribly breakout (among stress and hormones) so i've cut out a lot of the products that i feel are either not doing anything or drying out my skin, or i've just had for way too long and are mostly likely past they recommended expiry date. I've narrowed down my skin care routine to 3 products, a moisturiser, a micellar water and exfoliator.

I hope you enjoy :)

Garnier Moisture Nourish Moisturizer

I have quite dry skin especially on my forehead, nose and chin (where i get my breakouts) so each night after i've taken off my makeup i put a light layer of this all over my face just to give it that extra moisture that it desperately needs at the moment.  

Garnier Micellar Water

I've only just started using this, i'm trying to get out of the habit of using wipes to take off my makeup. I've used a few different micellar waters over the past year or two and this one is so far very good (i've recently bought the full size bottle that i will mention in a haul coming soon! so look out for that :))

L'Oreal Gentle Exfoliator 

Lastly, this is my favourite exfoliator (post) the texture is not to rough, but not non existent, it foams nicely and the smell i gorgeous, really orangery and leaves my face feelings lovely.

I'd love to know what is your skincare routine? 

Do you recommend any products?

Have you tried any of these products?
