Hello everybody, for this post I thought I would do something a little different and show you what skincare products I use. I’m going to show you my morning skincare in this one, but let me know if you want an evening skincare post as well!
I don’t have an extensive range of skincare products, but I like to make sure I look after my skin well as I think it makes a huge difference in many ways. When I’ve been good and done my skincare properly I feel like it makes any makeup I put on top look so much better, especially with base products like my foundation and concealer.
The first product I tend to use in the morning when I want to refesh my skin and wake up a little bit is the REN flash rinse 1 minute facial. This is the perfect thing to use when your skin feels dull as it invigorates and hydrates; the perfect way to start the day!
After I’ve washed my face , I dot a little bit of eye gel around my eyes. At the moment I’m using the Boots cucumber eye gel and this is really nice. It’s very hydrating but sinks in quickly so it’s great for putting on before makeup.
To make sure I’m fully awake, I like to make myself jump by spraying the Vitamin E refreshing toning mist liberally all over my face. I like this for adding an extra shot of moisture back into my skin in the mornings.
Then I like to moisturise my face. I have such dry skin in winter and this Vitamin E moisturising day cream helps to soothe my skin. You can pick this up from Superdrug and I highly recommend this! It’s also really affordable which is great.
Lastly we can’t forget the lips! I’m still loving this NUXE reve de miel lip balm since I featured it in my blog post lip balm low down.
That’s all! I know it’s not loads and I probably should use a serum and blah blah blah but these products are working for me at the moment! I’d love to know what products you’re using to keep your skin happy this winter!
I hope you’re all having a great run up to christmas! I can’t wait!

So glad you have found a routine that works well for you! I think simple is best too. Because if you start using loads of products and continually changing your routine, if your skin has a breakout/ reaction or flares up it is then really hard to work out what caused it. In addition, if a routine is overly complicated or you find it a chore to do, then it won’t become a habit, and you may well end up avoiding doing even basic cleansing/moisturising in order to avoid the whole routine! I personally have had good results with hot cloth oil cleansing and double cleansing. But it’s all about finding what works well for your own skin and lifestyle.

You need to try also the Vitamin E facial oil. It’s my favourite product to use before going to bed. Specially after a hot shower. It’s a real pamper for you and your face. And it smells AMAZING 💗💗💗
