When it comes to skincare I've never been very good. My "routine" for the last few years has been rubbing my face under the shower and slapping on some moisturiser when I remember. Every now and then I'd use an exfoliating scrub but that was it. I quite often didn't even bother to take off my make-up if I'd been wearing it. Gross I know, but I could just never be bothered.
Then I got lost in a Sali Hughes/Caroline Hirons YouTube loop. Watching their videos made me realise skincare is important and I need to make more of an effort. Growing up I had awful acne from about the age of 10 until 18. My skins only really been pretty clear in the last 2 years. I tried loads of stuff on that, including prescription treatments, but what worked the because what just leaving my skin alone. Since my oily, spot ridden teenage years my face has become more dry and just leaving it alone no longer works. So I've gone out and gotten myself a set of products and am now slowly training myself into a routine that takes better care of my face.
I'm now where near perfect and doing it every day yet but it's a positive change and my skin is looking better for it. As I've started using lots of new products all at once I have no idea if it's one particular product that's working well or all of them together but I'm happy with the results so far.
This stuff is amazing. You just take a little bit and rub it into your skin until it melts in and then wash off with a wet flannel. A little goes a long way so it's not bad for the price. It gets off all the dirt and grime from the day and leaves your face looking lovely and glowy afterwards.
To be honest I'm not entirely sure this actually does anything, it's supposed to hydrate and soothe, but it's nice/scary to spray yourself in the face every now and then.
An old favourite of mine. This stuff removes any eye make-up in seconds. I've noticed adverts for a very similar looking product from Maybelline recently but when bought with the £5 off No7 skin vouchers Boots are forever handing out this stuff is a steal at £3.50.
Caroline Hirons raves about this stuff but I was a bit sceptical about buying it. My skin can be quite sensitive sometimes so I was worried it would be too harsh and if it was that was a pricey mistake. Fortunately it was fine and I've ditched the scrubby exfoliators for this acidic one. My skin feels lovely after using this.
I got this serum in my last Pink Parcel. I'm pretty happy with it. I've not really used serums before so I don't have anything to compare it to but my face feels nice afterwards and I've not broken out so something is working.
I've been using Oilatum for a couple years now, ever since the Pixiwoo ladies started singing its praises. My skin can get quite dry and when I when I remember to use it it works really well.
