My Everyday Skincare Routine

Hey guys! So I thought I would do a post on my skincare routine, particularly as here in the UK the weather over the last couple of days has dropped hugely and it's all cold and windy. How lovely.. Anyway due to the weather changes it makes me even more determined to look after my skin as the cold weather and wind in particular are just not ideal for your skin and they dry your face and skin out faster. Which is why towards the beginning of the Autumn I have been adding in certain products to help my skin and keep it going throughout the Winter. So here we go: 

Nivea extra gentle eye makeup remover - So this stuff my mum picked up for me as we had run our of remover, but it really is good for just gently removing any more heavier makeup, particularly good for me as I tend to wear mascara ad eye shadow on a daily basis. Its fresh, not strong smelling and a relaxing way to remove my eye makeup. To get rid of the rest of my makeup I then go over with makeup remover wipes as they are the easiest and quickest for me for the rest of my face. Lets face it, we are pretty tired when removing our makeup so don't want to be stood there for hours, I want to move onto creams and get into bed!

Lush tee tree toning water - Ugh this is like a bottle of pure heaven! This is my second bottle of this toner and I love it. Before I used to use one from Garnier but it smelt so strong of chemicals and just sucked all of the moisture from my face leaving my face feeling, well, unloved. So when I came across this I feel in love with it. It obviously has the consistency of water, so I spray it onto a cotton pad and wipe over my face concentrating on my T-zone, and it leaves my face feeling clean, refreshed and the smell of tea tree is just amazing. I would highly recommend!

Boots Botanics radiant youth eye cream - This stuff has become a staple in my routine. I use it in the morning before I put my makeup on and again when I take my makeup off before bed. The consistency is good for spreading, it isn't watery and a little goes a long way, so its worth the money. I do think it has helped my eyes look more awake and healthy and has also helped with my dark eyes ever so slightly.

Bio Oil - This product you can buy from an awful lot of places, but I usually pick it up from either Boots of Superdrug as that is what is easiest for me. I picked this product up ages ago to be honest, but I found it to greasy for my skin and didn't really enjoy it so put it to one side. But recently when I got a horrible cold, my skin was suffering hugely and needed much more moisture and help. So I dug up the old bio oil and after using it during my cold it has slotted back into the routine and I now love it. Its silky, smells great and lasts ages. I put it on before I go to bed at night and when I wake up my skin it always soft and full of moisture.

L'Oreal Paris skin perfection day moisturiser - This is a recent purchase of mine and so has only recently fell into my routine, but so far I can honestly say I really like it. I use this after I've washed my face in the morning before I put my makeup on and it makes my skin feel soft and ready to apply my makeup over. The packaging it gorgeous and the product goes into the skin fast and works well. It also smells so so nice and is pink, how can you say no to that!?

La Roche Posay effaclar duo - This one is last on the list because I don't use it everyday and definitely not as often as the other products. I tend to use this when I this my skin needs a bit more help with spots or if I seem to have more blackheads. Sometimes I find it doesn't help to clear my skin or maybe makes it worse compared to letting my skin do its own thing, but sometimes it does help so I am 50/50 with it to be honest. It has been raved about all over the internet so maybe worth giving it a go and seeing what you think as everyone seems to have different opinions of it.

So we have now come to the end of my everyday skincare routine, I hope this maybe helped anyone who wanted another review of a product or maybe didn't know about one and now wants to go and try it. Hope you enjoyed!
