Updated Skincare Routine!

2 Comments

Hey dolls,

This week I wanted to share my updated skincare routine. I’ve always been a bit of a skincare addict, I blame Mum for that, so here is my updated day and night skincare!

Mornings are always a bit manic so I want something quick and easy to start the day. I grab some cleansing pads either the Nip n Fab Dragon Blood ones or the Vitamin E ones from Superdrug that I am currently using. These leave my skin feeling fresh with no hassle! Then to moisturise I use the Nip n Fab Post Glycolic Fix moisturiser and Vitamin E  eye cream. I love these products because they sit so nicely underneath my makeup and don’t make my skin feel greasy!

My evening routine firstly removing my makeup, recently I have been loving the Garner Micellar water cleansing gel. I use this in the shower and it removes most of my makeup, I then cleanse with my trusty Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser. To tone its once again an old fave, Liz Earle Instant Boost Tonic.

I love using an oil on my skin overnight, some of these oils can be super expensive so I’m pleased I’ve found one I love from Caudalie, VineActiv Overnight Detox, these leaves my skin feeling so soft and hydrated, it has definitely become a ride or die for me!

One thing I can’t live without is a good eye cream and at the moment I’m loving the Origins Ginzing eye cream, this cream is definitely worth the hype and although I’m petty late to the party, I can highly recommend this one for brighting and reducing darkness under your eyes!

Once a week or twice a week I exfoliate my face using the Nip n Fab Glycolic scrub which I love and will use a face mask.  I have a range of face masks I love including L’oreal detox clay, any from GlamGlow and the Sephora sheet masks (you need to get your hands on some if you haven’t tried them yet!).

Summer Skincare

2 Comments

Hey Dolls,

I’ve hit the milestone of 50 blog posts!

Today I am going to share with you my summer skincare routine and all the products I have been loving using on my skin!

A good skincare routine is so important and I always make sure I remove my makeup properly, whilst avoiding makeup wipes as much as possible!

Let’s start with the morning- this will always be something quick as I am never awake enough for anything too intense! I remove any excess oils from my skin with the Nip n Fab cleansing pads, I change which ones I use each time I run out! Then I grab my Liz Earle instant tonic boost, pop on some moisturiser and my eye cream and I’m good to go!

My evening skin routine depends if I’ve been wearing makeup or not. If not I go straight in with my Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser, if I have been wearing makeup I start by removing it with micellar water and cotton pads. After cleansing I’ll either use my Liz Earle tonic or Caudalie beauty elixir. Even though it’s summer and my skin is oilier I still love using face oil, my fave at the moment is Caudalie overnight detox oil which leaves my skin feeling plump and hydrated. To finish off I use my holy grail eye cream- Lancome genifique yeux light pearl, not only is the metal applicator super cooling but it is fantastic for brighting dark eyes!

Finally I’ll add a couple of products I love that I use in the summer!

  1. Superdrug Vitamin E hydrating mist- great for refreshing your skin
  2. Nip n Fab Glycolic Scrub- I use this a few times each week to exfoliate my skin
  3. Glam Glow Supermud & L’oreal Detox clay mask- I love using these once a week
  4. Garnier Moisture Bomb Sheet mask & Origins Drink up- I also use these hydrating masks once a week, to give my skin a boost!
  5. Dior Glow lip balm- hint of colour with SPF, the perfect summer lip product!
