Daytime
Good Things Face Wash-
The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is was my face with this creamy cleanser. It lathers well and has a strong fruity smell which may not be to everyone's taste. Personally I really like this but I cant tell if this has caused an improvement for my skin or its just the time of the month.
Nivea Daily Essentials Rich Moisturising Day Cream-
A fantastic rich day cream. It sinks in quickly and deeply moisturisers the skin. It does have a slightly floral scent which I'm not keen on. The worst thing about this is if I don't wear make up on top it makes my face look so oily and greasy. Not good!
As you might be able to tell from the picture I have just come to the end of it so I have bought the primer version but I didn't want to show a product I haven't had a chance to properly try out yet.
Boots Vitamin E Eye Cream-
If you want to know more about eye creams you can click here to read a whole post explaining them. This one has a thin consistency. It isn't fantastic, I much prefer the Balance Me sample of eye cream, but for £2.54 it's a great money saver.
Soap And Glory Scrub Of Your Life Exfoliator-
I exfoliate at least twice a week to clear the pores of dirt and dead skin. It makes a big difference the next day as skin looks brighter and it helps breakouts as well as giving smoother skin. Before this I had the Scrub Your Nose In It exfoloiator which did a better job at exfoliating and brightening the skin.
Good Things Facial Mask-
I love the Lush Brazened Honey Mask but the short shelf time created too much waste. So instead I got this mask which I actually have only used a couple of times. It doesn't give amazing results but my skin is softer and brighter afterwards.
Night Time
Simple Cleansing Lotion-
I have tried a few different cleansing lotions but I always come back to this. It removes make up whilst feeling creamy and luxurious despite the fact its so cheap! Because it is fragrance free it is fantastic for sensitive skin.
Garnier Wipes-
I prefer to use wipes to take eye make up off because it is much easier. These are okay but to be honest I just get whatever is on offer because they all seem the same to me.
Simple Moisturising Face Wash-
Again this is good for dry sensitive skin. I wish it lathered up a bit more but other than that its a nice face wash. Nothing too special about it!
Simple Vital Vitamin Night Cream-
Another Simple product! I love the brand because I have sensitive skin and a small skin care budget. It is a very rich cream so I only use it on the dry-est areas of my face which are around the nostrils, jawbone and along the eyebrows. When I did use it on my face it broke me out. I will test using it out on my whole face again but if it does cause a break out I'll have to replace it for winter.
Lush Grease Lighting-
I only use it at night because sometimes it can cause a tiny bit of flaky skin. To read a full review you can click here.
So that is my skin care routine! Its nothing special but I thought I'd share it with you anyway. If you have a post on you're skin care routine link it below as I always enjoy seeing what other people use. What is your holy grail skin care product?
Thanks for reading!x

I didn't realise how many products I used until I sat down and wrote this! x
DeleteI have heard a lot of great things about Simple products. I used to use their face wipes but I didn't really get on with them

The face wipes aren't the best so you might like the other stuff x
DeleteI actually love the Nivea cream. It's the only one by Nivea my skin "likes" :D Maybe it's because my skin is super dry but I don't find it to look oily.
ReplyDeleteLovely post!

I think they fairly recentley changed the ingredients because I've heard other people say it used to be fine on them but now it makes their face look oily. I have the 2 in 1 primer version now which is so much better x
DeleteI tryed a the eye make up remover and the lotion by simple and One dryed out my skin while the other made made the skin around my eyes burn.
ReplyDeleteI found that they don't work too well for me but it might just be the products I got
Might try one of these

Really? Not good for a brand that is meant to be for sensitive skin! Hopefully it wont irritate your skin x
DeleteI love a good face wipe when i'm feeling lazy, haha. And i definately want to try the Soap and Glory exfoliator. Have read such good things on it.
ReplyDeleteMe too! I take my make up off properly most of the time but sometimes it's way too much effort x
DeleteI'm a massive fan of Good Things, they're so great for a drugstore skincare range! I reaaaaally want to try the Soap & Glory exfoliator, I love the brand but I've never really tried their face skincare range!
ReplyDeleteI'm the opposite because I actually haven't tried much from the body care range x
DeleteAww this looks amazing! I love using Soap and Glory and Nivea products!
