My Skincare Routine

So after a long break from blogging, I'm back with my skin care routine! Skincare is so important, as it sets the base for any makeup you do afterwards, and who doesn't want perfect skin?

Firstly, to cleanse, I use the Bare Minerals Deep Cleansing Foam, which I bought in the airport in London nearly a year ago now, and it has lasted me so long! I love how concentrated this cleanser is - you need less than a pea-sized amount, and once you add water and massage it into your skin, it turns into a creamy foam. It's great for combination to dry skin (which I have) as it isn't oil based, but won't dry out your skin.

Next in my routine I like to use a face oil. I know the thought of putting oil on your skin can be scary for some, as they already try to fight an oily T-zone, but this Trilogy Rosehip Oil calms breakouts, gets rid of dry patches and leaves my skin feeling so much smoother. I've been using it for about three weeks now, and the dry patches I used to have are long gone. I only use a small dot of this as it spreads easily and you don't need too much of it.

The moisturiser I use is the Bare Minerals Purely Nourishing Moisturiser from the same line (and bought at the same time) as my cleanser. This is just a great all round moisturiser that sinks in fast, doesn't leave any residue on my face and again, a little goes a long way.

To fight breakout and blemishes, I find that tea tree oil works best. This bottle is from the Body Shop, but tea tree oil isn't hard to come across and is a must try if you haven't already. It's perfect because it can be worn under makeup as it's clear, and it also reduces redness. 

About once every week or two I love using a face mask, even if it's purely just for the feeling of being pampered! The Lancôme Hydra Intense mask is a gel-like formula that smooths onto the skin and heals dry skin, which is brilliant for cold weather when my skin is like a desert. I actually got this for free in Lancôme when my mum bought other skincare products, so I was surprised by how much I loved using it!

Thanks so much for reading, I have new posts coming soon! Bear in mind that these products work well for my skin (combination-dry) but they might not for yours. But these are all products I love, so I hope you do, too!
