My Skincare Regime

STEP ONE: I take all of my make-up off

The Body Shop Camomile Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover

I got this free when I bought some make-up from the Body Shop and its lasting well and is really gentle. I'm a bit of a floozy when it comes to make-up removers, I'm always trying new ones out. If any of you have any recommendations I'd love to hear what you use!

 (Also, I just want to add that on lazy days I usually do this step with a face wipe- often by Simple- but I don't actually have any at the moment so I can't include photograph!)

STEP 2: I cleanse my skin

Biore Warming Anti Blackhead Cleaner and The Body Shop Aloe Calming Facial Cleanser

I use Biore every other evening for a deep exfoliating cleanse, I find the warming effect reallllly pleasant especially not its getting colder. This product does wonders for my skin and I've noticed my blackheads clearing up since I started using it. The Aloe Calming Facial Cleanser is the product I use more often as it is super gentle on my sensitive skin but it keeps spots at bay without drying my skin out. I'd definitely recommend giving this a try if you want a gentle cleanser for regular use.

STEP THREE: I use a toner to calm my skin and make sure it is completely clean

Roberts' Acqua Distillata Alle Rose (Rose Water)

I didn't used to use toner but I find it hard not to use my rose water as I love the scent and the way it makes my skin feel so delicately refreshed. I did a little 'Rave' post on this which you can read here, especially worth a look if you're interesting in getting some!

 STEP FOUR: I moisturise

Nivea Pure and Natural Soothing Day Cream and Nivea Pure and Natural Anti Wrinkle Night C

I recently finished my Aloe Vera Body Shop moisturisers and I replaced them with these two products from Nivea. I've never used a Nivea facial moisturiser before but I've been using these for about a week and a half and I'm impressed and how gentle they are, they offer deep moisturisation without irritating my skin or making my t-zone greasy. The day cream is quite light and sinks in very quickly whilst the night cream is considerably thicker and heavier and doesn't sink in fully but I always wake up with incredibly smooth skin. I recently saw these on offer instore in Superdrug at half price, definitely worth checking out as I think they're great value for money.

STEP FOUR AND A HALF: Sometimes, when I feel I need it, I moisturise a little bit more

The Body Shop Vitamin E Eye Cream

I don't often use this but sometimes, especially when I'm having a little freak out about getting older, I like to apply this around the outside of my eyes. It's a good product, very moisturising and gentle on the skin, and I'd recommend all of the Vitamin E range by the Body Shop. If you're looking for an eye cream this one is worth checking out.

So yeah, that is my current skincare regime although it does change a lot as I tend to get through products quite quickly. I haven't included any facemasks even though I do use them weekly, this is only because I have a lot on the go at once, do check out my Facemask Friday posts if you're interested though!
