I want to share my skin routine with you. Recently, I have become obsessed with looking after my skin. I have been trying and testing so many products to find the ones that suit my skin best. The products I use don't vary much from day to night but I do like to change my routine up every now and then. I will keep you updated if anything changes.
Morning Routine
1. Cleanse: I start off by rinsing my face with luke warm water. I, then, grab my L'oreal 'Skin Perfection' Cleansing and Perfecting Milk. I rub this all over my face in circular motions using my fingertips. I use a wet facecloth to remove my cleanser.

2. Tone: Next I like to use a toner. Recently, I have been using Garnier's Softening Toner for Normal to Dry Skin. I am a big fan of Garnier products and I really like this toner. It smells AMAZING! But also leaves my skin feeling soft and pores looking tighter. I always apply the Garnier Softening Toner with wet cotton wool. Cold water is also said to tone and tighten the skin so I always splash my face before patting dry with a clean towel.

3. Moisturize: If I had to pick one thing to bring to a desert island it would be moisturizer. I cannot stand that tight, dry feeling that I get when I don't moisturize. I have been trying Origin's 'Make A Difference Plus+' Rejuvenating Moisturizer (I have been robbing it from my sister. Sssshhh!) and I love it! It makes my skin feel so soft and hydrated. It also smells sooo nice! I actually think it is the best moisturizer I have ever used. Would definitely recommend especially to those with dry skin. The Origin's brand use natural ingredients which is always a plus for me.

4. Eye Cream: I have started using The Body Shop's Nutriganics Soothing Eye Cream. I apply a small amount to the under eye area. This is a really lightweight cream with 98% of the ingredients being of natural origin.

5. SPF.: Research shows that those who wear SPF everyday (even when the sun ain't shining) have better and younger looking skin. I have jumped on the bandwagon and have decided to commit myself to wearing SPF everyday I go outside. I chose the La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL SPF50+ Ultra Light Fluid (Tinted). It is non-comedogenic meaning it won't clog pores or cause break outs unlike most suncreams. I will warn you though the tint is almost invisible so I wouldn't want you to expect to look like a golden goddess after applying this.

Night Time Routine
I use all the products above but I do have some alternatives that I switch to every now and then.
1. Make-Up Removal: Sometimes I use my L'oreal 'Skin Perfection' Cleansing and Perfecting Milk along with wet cotton wool but my favourite way to remove my make-up is using Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. I scoop a small amount out of the tub and let it melt in my hands. I , then, rub it all over my face (Be aware coconut oil and make up mixed together look like a slimey mess). I use wet cotton wool to wipe my make-up away. I repeat this process until all my make-up has been removed.

2. Cleanse: After using Coconut Oil, I cleanse with my L'oreal Cleansing Milk to remove any residue from the Coconut Oil.
3. Tone: I use my Garnier Softening Toner (As Above) and a splash of cold water.
4. Moisturize: I start off with my Certified Organic Trilogy Rosehip Oil to hydrate deep down in the skin. I use 2-3 drops onto my hand and pat it onto my face (For full review click here).

I follow with the Origin's Rejuvenating Moisturizer and The Body Shop's Nutriganic Soothing Eye Cream (As Above).
So that's it! That's what my skincare routine involves. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed. Mwah!
