It's been a while since I have shared my daily skin care routine,
in fairness it has only been the last few weeks where I have had a proper routine
and not been trailing some facial lotion or potion.
Don't get me wrong I love trying out new things but sometimes it is nice just to have a cosy
plain ol' fail safe set of products you rely on isn't it?
So i'd thought I'd share what I have been using.
Cleansing/Toning
I am still using my Rio Sonicleanse and finishing up my Clinique Liquid Facial Soap
but as I have a three month update on the Soniclease I thought it would be best not to include it
in this post so I will just share my other cleansing methods for now.
So to quickly cleanse when I get home I have been using Bioderma Sebium H20
but I do proper cleanse using my Soniclease both late at night and in the morning.
My toner of choice has been the delightful Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Boost
I can not get enough of this cooling liquid and find it wonderful as a toner
but also used in a spray bottle throughout the day to cool and calm my skin.
Moisturiser/Mask
I'm terribly lazy when it comes to moisturiser and don't really apply it as often as I should.
I get away with it as I have oily skin but should really try harder.
When I do remember I have been applying Super - Hyper Hydrator
which is infused with coconut water and smells simply delish.
It does the job nicely and doesn't turn my skin into a grease fest so no complaints from me!
My mask of choice is The Fab Pore by Soap and Glory which is a must for anyone
who suffers from enlarged pores - I swear by it and can not be without it.
I seldom repurchase skin care items but for this I make an exception and have bought at least four tubs!
It is one of the few skin care products that give results instantly and cleanses deep down,
I use it twice a week and can honestly say my pores have improved tenfold in size.
Eyes
To take off my eye make up which is mainly mascara, I have and for a long while now
been using Cucumber Eye Make-Up Remover from the Boots Essentials range.
It is as cheap as chips and effectively removes my eye make up while being gentle
and soothing...it's just wonderful and for less than £2 you could do a lot worse.
Much like moisturiser when it comes to eye creams it really is a case of when I remember
but I have been far better lately than I used to be and my trick is to keep my eye cream on my bed side
cabinet that way I really have no excuse.
At the moment I have been using Avon's Hydra Radiance eye gel which isn't really one for those looking
for an anti ageing treatment but it does a grand job of keeping the eye area hydrated
and perks my under eye area up when I've had little sleep which is all I can really ask for.
What skin care items do you swear by?
My pores have gotten a lot larger recently for some reason so I'll definitely give the Fab Pore mask a go - thanks! x

Mine too I'm blaming the weather!
DeleteI use the Fab Pore mask it's great! I have oily skin too and I really want to try the Bioderma Sebium H20, would you recommend it? xx
ReplyDeletehttp://beautybyemma.blogspot.com
Yes but it is a little drying and I do prefer the original formula to the oily version in all honesty :)
DeleteI live my waitrose 'baby bottom butter', don't ask my why but it will give you the smoothest skin you have ever had, I smother it on nightly and by morning you can literally see the difference!
ReplyDeleteI also use the boots cucumber cleanser, like you it maybe inexpensive but for what its worth it does the trick.
Love, tilly xx

Ah tilly it's nice to hear that someone got good results from the waitrose baby bottom butter. I was hunting for it for months and when i finally got my hands on it, it broke me out in a zillion spots :( have found that it's great for my feet if they're feeling a bit dry :)
DeleteThink I may need to get my hands on some bioderma too, everyone's raving about it!
Megs :) xx

@Tilly I have never tried it we don't have a waitrose anywhere near me at all but should I ever encounter a waitrose I shall pick a tub up :)
Delete@wonderfulyou It's so funny how different all our skin is isn't it, I think I may skip after reading your comment as I break out at the drop of a hat. Yes Bioderma is very much having a moment isn't it :)
The boots cucumber cleanser and make up remover is the best! It's so cheap and so soothing, I don't have any need to buy anything else.
ReplyDeleteI agree the Cucumber range is great :)
Deletei need a new eye makeup remover and feel i can't say no to this at such a good price, will give it a try!
ReplyDeleteIt is honestly great and so soothing :)
DeleteI really want to try Bioderma, I've heard such good things!
ReplyDeleteYou should it is fab :)
DeleteThe S&G mask really improved my skins texture, kept those pesky breakouts under control too! I love it :) x

It is a skin saver isn't it :)
Deletei, like you have oily/combo skin and i swear by the clarsonic, its amazing, such a rip off in SpaceNk (£120), i bought mine on an US site for $100! the Elemis Tri-Enzyme is great but i always return to the dermalogica special cleansing gel, skin prep scrub and gentle cream exfoliant!
ReplyDeleteEve Lom does the best mask (rescue mask £40), so i make my own version, green clay, drop of tea tree and presto!!
xxxx
Thank you for the fab tips :) I really want to try that home made mask now it sounds great :)
DeleteDoes the S&G mask clear blackheads? I cannot shift them on my nose at all, I've literally tried everything! x
ReplyDeleteSadly not no :( have you tried pore strips? I'm obsessed with pore strips.
DeleteJust found you blog on Hellocotton and have been browsing around! Love your blog, New follower :) xoxo

i am really glad I've found this information. Nowadays bloggers publish just about gossips and net and this is really annoying.

girls are more sensitive to skin health conditions. The main reason of the pollution and the dirt, they face on the work or outside the house. Hence extra skin care is required.
