I love seeing other people's current skincare routine's and seeing what products work well for others, so I thought I would share my routine and favourites!
Firstly,my skin is oily-combination, so depending on what your skin type is they may work well for you or not. I also find that oil based moisturisers break me out, so I tend to only use gel based/oil free moisturisers.
In the morning I do a quick cleanse, tone and moisturise. I'm currently using the Mario Badescu Enzyme cleansing gel, Pixi Glow Tonic and The Body Shop Vitamin C moisturiser, I've been testing out the enzyme cleansing gel for a few weeks and I am definitely seeing an improvement in my skin. It claims to use hydroxy acid to break down the build up of dead skin cells that cause blackheads and pimples. I have noticed that since using this (and probably due to the change in weather) that I rarely am getting any spots at the moment (touch wood) so i'm pretty impressed with this cleanser!
Next I go in with my trusty Pixi toner, this is an exfoliating toner and it works so well with my morning cleanser, it seems to brighten my skin up a bit.
Lastly, I moisturise with The Body Shop Vitamin C moisturiser. This is a lovely light, day time moisturiser and I find that this sinks in really quickly and makes a lovely make up base.
In my evening routine I add in an eye cream and my Effaclar duo cream. Firstly, I go in with the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish to remove all my make up. This is my holy grail skin care product. It removes all my make up and when I rub it into my eyes to remove my mascara it doesn't make my eyes sore or sting at all, and when I remove it my skin feels so soft.
Secondly, I go in with my Lush Tea Tree toner, which is supposed to be an antibacterial due to the Tea Tree and prevent breakouts.
I then apply my Effaclar duo cream, this is another holy grail product for me. It's supposed to unclog pores and correct imperfections and it definitely does. There are a lot of mixed reviews about this product, but it has honestly worked so well for me. I only apply this to my T-zone as that's where I am most likely to get blemishes, and I then moisturise my cheeks with the Clinique moisturising gel.
I then apply my Body Shop Vitamin E eye cream.
Once a week I will use a face mask depending on what my skin is doing that week, At the moment I've been using the Lush Mask of Magnaminty mask and i'm really liking it. I also use a scrub a few times a week after my evening cleanse. My favourite to use is the Super Facialist Anti Blemish Face Scrub, I really feel this is helping my blackhead situation!
As the weather is gradually getting colder i'm going to need to pick up a thicker moisturiser, eye cream and some hydrating masks soon!
