Skincare Routine

One thing that I am always proud/confident about (well, most of the time anyway!) is my skin. I am quite lucky that I have never had acne, and rarely get any spots at all. However, I do get quite bad oily skin sometimes, and quite dry skin the other half of the time! I have tried so many different products throughout the years to try and combat it and some have worked better than others however I am going to tell you all about my current skincare regime, which seems to be working better than before.

First off, every morning I use Clearasil Refreshing Superfruits Pads. These are to exfoliate and cleanse your skin. There are "original" pads instead of the "superfruit" but I love the raspberry and cranberry smell! These pads are amazing and make my face a lot cleaner than any other cleanser I have used before. After this, I put on my primer, which is always a primer/moisturiser to keep my skin soft, before putting on my make-up.

At the end of the day, I always use baby wipes to take off my make-up. I find them to be gentler on my skin and also work out a lot cheaper. Why spend £3 on 25 make-up wipes when you can spend £1 on 64 baby wipes? I go through so many, I can't bring myself to spend that much that often! After I wipe my face, I use Witch Pore Minimising gel. I bought this on a whim last time I was in Tesco as I always think the pores on my nose are quite noticeable. After using this for a week, I can say it is amazing. My whole face feels much smoother, looks a lot more clear and my pores are barely noticeable. This works by pumping some of the gel onto your fingers, then massaging it onto your face, creating a lather before washing it off with warm water. After this I use another Clearasil pad, as you are meant to use them twice a day.

As for creams, I use Skin Wisdom Youth Protect eye cream as I suffer from dark circles under my eyes all the time. This is one of the best dark circle treatments I have ever used, and I have tried most of them! For a face moisturiser I use Derma 10 (I think, the label has scratched off the tub). It is a cheap moistureser from a discount store. It doesn't have any specific scent except a soapy, clean scent which is why I love it, on top of the fact it makes my skin feel amazing and doesn't break the bank.

As I was writing this, I realise I actually use a lot more on my skin than I realised, but it pays off as my skin has never been better, except for the occasional stress spot every now and then!

What are skin products that you swear by? Let me know in the comments!
