My Skin Care Routine

Hi girls, (and guys if we're not being sexist)

I find it really interesting reading through people's blogs, and watching video's on Youtube on what they use in their skin care routine. My skin care routine isn't really that complicated, but I feel that a good skin care routine is vital  for your skin to be at its best. So, without further ado, here are my 5 favourite skincare products which I use, to keep my skin glowy and healthy!


I like to use face masks a couple of times a week, just to cleanse my skin and leave it feeling really soft. My favourite is the LUSH cupcake face mask. It smells so nice, like chocolate and cake, hence the name cupcake! I find that it works really well for spots, and clears them up really nicely. Although, this is marketed as a face mask for oily skin, I still find that it works for me, (normal to dry skin). Overall, an amazing product!

I also like to cleanse my face using a face wash. I use the Sanctuary fresh-faced purifying wash. I use this most days and really work it in to my skin, and use a muslin cloth to exfoliate my skin. I find that it leaves my skin feeling really energised, and gives a nice glow to the skin. My skin can sometimes be a bit sensitive, but this works amazingly!


 After I've used a facial wash I also like to use a toner. This is also by Sanctuary. It leaves my skin feeling really soft, and slightly tighter as well, which is good for preventing wrinkles! I find that it works really well in conjunction with the face wash too!


Everyone with every skin type should use a moisturiser to put moisture back into their skin, even people with oily skin! My favourite is the Simple Kind to Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser. I find that the it rich enough to make my skin feel really moisturised. I use this every night before I go to bed, and before I put my make-up on in the mornings too!

This is my favourite product of all, it's the Liz Earle, Cleanse & Polish, Hot Cloth Cleanser. Really, I can't say enough good things about this product! I use it every night, and some mornings too. I find that it really helps to cleanse my skin, and the muslin cloth I use also helps to exfoliate my skin too. This just leaves my skin feeling so soft, and and clean. It just leaves my skin feeling really healthy, and I'm just in love with it really! It also works really well to take your makeup off as well, so you don't have to use two different products!For a more in depth review of this product, check out the video that I did on it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjYuebY59eI
