As you probably guessed from the title I have recently updated my skincare routine and have found something that is really working and suits my skin type and there are a few products which I love, so without further ado here it goes!
Cleanse
The first step of my skincare routine is to cleanse my face morning and nightly to remove any make-up or excess oils. Recently I took a trip to Boots as I had ran out of my Biore Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser which I used every morning and night until it ran out to give it a fair go, and as much as I liked it I decided not to repurchase it and try something different. It did help to fight blemishes and make my skin look visibly clearer however, I wanted to see what else was out there. I was browsing all the skincare items as they were on a 3 for 2 offer where you buy 2 products and get the cheapest one free when I came across the Simple skincare range. I used to use Simple all the time when I was in my early teens but once I started working I replaced it with my trusted No7 skincare (which I love). I bought the Simple Spotless Skin Triple Action Face Wash. I love this skincare range as they use natural ingredients that are actually going to benefit your skin.
I love this face wash so much, it's really refreshing and makes my skin look so healthy and really wakes you up in the morning. It has tiny little beads in it which dissolve once you start working it into the skin and I wash it off with a clean flannel and warm water and I love the smell of it. I have also used it to remove make-up and it removes it well, however I like to use my No7 Foaming Cleanser to remove make up as it literally melts off your make-up!.
To remove my eye make up I use the Boots Cucumber Eye Make-up Remover Gel. I pour a small amount of this onto a cotton wool pad (I use the Boots own double sided ones) and gently sweep it over my eyes and I only have to use one cotton wool pad per eye; amazing! The only thing I will say is it leaves a slight residue under my eyes so just make sure you wash that off afterwards :)
Tone
I've always been a bit sceptical about toners, I used to think they were absolutely pointless but I've always had one on my dressing table just in case. I'd used up my No7 Soft and Soothed Gentle Toner which I actually really liked using with the corresponding cleanser and moisturiser. Seeing as I had picked up the cleanser from Simple I thought why not buy a toner to go with it? I absolutely love the Simple Kind To Skin Soothing Facial Toner as it really makes my face feel clean and helps remove any make up the cleanser may have missed.
Moisturise
My every day moisturiser is the No7 Beautiful Skin Day Cream for Normal/Oily Skin which I use just before I put my make up on and it makes a good smooth base for foundation and really helps combat oil coming throughout the day. I have always been a tad scared of using a moisturiser at night as I have oily skin but even for oily skin it's still important to add moisture back in to cool everything down after stripping your face of excess oil. The ones I love are the Simple Kind To Skin Moisturiser and the No7 Beautiful Skin Night Cream for Normal/Oily Skin. Both of these make my skin feel so soft and refreshed, they're amazing.
Exfoliate
I try to exfoliate my skin every 2-3 days to help reduce the visibility of pores and help keep everything balanced. I love the No7 Purifying Exfoliator for Normal/Oily Skin. It's great as it isn't too harsh, I usually leave it on for a minute or two then wash it off revealing fresh and radiant looking skin. It really does help to minimise the appearance of pores and I love it. Admittedly this is the only facial exfoliator I have ever tried as I only really got into skincare earlier this year and I've almost finished this once so I'm looking forward to looking for something different!
