12 Days of Blogmas Day 2: Skin Care Routine


So today I thought I would share my skin care routine with you! I have only just really started to get into a proper routine as I admit I am lazy but my skin has been terrible lately so I’m trying to help it by having a proper routine.





Before Makeup



Boots Botanics Eye Roll On (couldn't find online)

This moisturiser is one of the best I have used. Having combination skin I didn’t want a moisturiser that was heavy or greasy on my skin and this is neither of those things!

I use the zit zapper only on spots if I have any that are particularly bad and it usually works to bring them down a bit.

This eye roll on is amazingly cooling on the eyes and I feel it really helps make my eyes look brighter even if I have had very little sleep!

I usually put all three of these on and then do my hair whilst they settle into my skin.

Make Up Removal



Up until about a month ago I was just using a micellar water to remove my make up (I happen to have Bioderma at the moment but I usually use Garniers) however I find that is I have a lot of make up on using a wipe and them Bioderma makes it easier to get every bit off.

Cleansing



I love using the hot cloth cleanser of a morning to get any last traces of makeup off from the day before and to cleanse my skin. 

I do not really love this gel wash however. It works with the hot cloth cleanser but it doesn’t really do much on its own I don’t think so I will be on the lookout for a new one once this is done!

Once a Week

Superdrug Mask - Destressing - Purifying 

When I first got this scrub I was using it every day but it is really harsh on the skin so I’ve lessened it to once a week and find that works really well. 

I also like doing a mask once a week usually in the bath because everybody loves a good pamper session! These are only cheap but they do the job perfectly I think, they seem to calm my skin when it’s not particularly happy so that makes me very happy! 

Body



Strictly this is skincare right? I don’t really know if this should be included but I wanted to since it is part of my routine. I put this on when I get out of the shower off a morning. It smells amazing, this is the blueberry one which I’m not sure if you can get anymore but all the ones I’ve tried work as good as each other just smell different. 

That’s my skincare routine for you! Most of the no 7 stuff I brought with the boots vouchers btw which makes it ridiculously cheaper!
