My Skin Care Routine

This is a pretty random post

but I thought I'd share my morning skin care routine.

I have quite dry skin and I get dry/rough patches on my skin

if I do not look after it, which feels horrible

but also makes make up look terrible!

So every morning after vegetating in bed for half an hour,

I start by exfoliating. 

I think this is an absolute must for skin as it helps

to remove dead skin cells, making your skin soft and smooth.

I use 'Cyclax Apricot Facial Scrub'.

I buy this from a Pharmacy near me for only £3.99 but you

can find it online. 

This is quite a rough exfoliator with extracts of Apricot.

So I just scrub this all over my face

avoiding the eyes!

Next I use my 'Nivea Daily Essentials Refreshing Cleansing Mousse'.

This stuff is so good, it is quick and easy to use 

while refreshes and softens my skin.

I got this from Boots for just £4.99.

Then once that's washed off I use 'Simple Soothing facial toner'.

Again this was from Boots for £2.99.

Toners that I've used in the past seemed to irritate my skin

and make it feel "tight".

But this just makes my skin feel refreshed and it

definitely soothes it!

I drop some onto a cotton wool pad and just wipe around your face.

Simple ;)

Then last but not least I moisturise.

In the morning I like to use 'Garnier Moisture Match revitalising hydrating gel'.

I prefer to use something light and quick drying

in the morning so this is brilliant for giving you a quick moisture 

boost and I personally find it great to use before doing 

my make up too as it leaves your skin so

refreshed and smooth.

I got this from Superdrug for £5.99.

So I do the same routine at night, 

however I prefer to use 'Nivea Creme' instead of 'Garnier'.

This is a lot thicker and really needs to soak into

your skin, thus why I use it at night.

This works particularly well on my cheeks and forehead as they 

lack moisture throughout the day with makeup/sweat etc.

I got this from Boots for £3.39.

And that is it!

I hope you liked this?!

Have you used any of these products?

What's your skin care routine?
