Hello My Lovelies!
Today I thought I'd go through my daily facial routine. I have been using this regime for around 6 months now an so far has been working a treat. I would say I am a combination to dry skin type but this routine is suitable for anyone!
Step One
I wash my face well using warm water and pat dry with a soft towel.
I do not use any facial makeup (i.e, foundation, concealer, highlighter) so I have no need to use a Cleanser. However if you do, I would recommend 'Clique Take The Day Off Balm'.
Now that my face is clean I start by using 'Simple Kind To Eyes Soothing Eye Balm'. I squeeze a tiny blob onto the tip of my little finger and gently wipe below my eye and on my eyelid. I pat softly until it has sunk in.
I really like this product because It gives me the pick-me-up my eyes need, especially in the morning after a bad sleep or in the evening when I've had a hectic day.
Step Two
Next I use 'Simple Kind To Skin Soothing Facial Toner'. I generously cover a makeup pad and massage upwards in circular motions, all over my face. Remember to avoid your eyes! You definitely don't want any exfoliate/toner near your eye area!
For someone who has very sensitive skin, and can't use harsh, beady exfoliates/cleansers, this is a god send! My face feels fresh and clean. An amazing but slightly more pricey product that I like to alternate with it the 'Clarins Gentle Exfoliating Toner'.
Step Three
I always follow by using 'Simple Kind To Skin Hydrating Light Moistursier'. I squirt a small blob (hehe... blob) onto my finger tips and massage in a circular motion all over my face. Be careful not to pull at your skin.
I love this product so much. A lot of moisturizers make your face feel heavy and greasy. However, this is so light on your face and sinks in within a couple of minutes.
Step Three
I am very lucky, for I very rarely get a spot. But at some poit, everyone does so if I feel one coming (that sounds a tad dodgy) I dab on a bit of 'Freederm gel' a few times a day and usually it disappears pretty quickly.
Step Four
Now, I have a horrible habit of biting my lip. Whether, I'm nervous, happy or just plain bored, I'm biting my lips. Therefore I have to use Vaseline religiously several times a day. Now i know it doesn't look or taste appetizing like other lip balms, but this really will work, I promise! It returns my kissable lips to their full glory (not to brag or anything...).
So there you have it. My daily skincare routine. I hope you found this helpful! Don't forget to check out my Twitter, Tumblr, etc on the right!
