Updated Skincare Routine

Hi!

So its been a little while since I did a skincare post and I have made a few little changes to my routine so I thought I share them with you. 

My cleansers and exfoliator haven't changed at all, I am still using the Liz Earle cleanse and polish cleanser and the Liz Earle gentle face exfoliator as well as the MAC cleanse off oil. I did briefly try a new cleansing oil  for a few days but I didn't feel like it worked as well as the MAC oil, I find this really melts away my make up. The Liz Earle products work so well my skin feels so clean and fresh after use.

I use the exfoliator 1-2 times per week to remove any dead skin cells that are being stubborn.

A new product that I have added to my routine is the Vichy  Purete Thermale Waterproof eye make up remover. I found that I was having to rub my eye area quite a bit to remove my eye make up and this really isnt very good as the skin under our eyes is quite fragile so after watching a video by Victoria from INTHEFROW I decided to give this product a go and it certainly did not disappoint. I apply it to a cotton pad and place it over my eye area for a few seconds before gently swiping sideways, it removes the make up as well as nourishing your lashes at the same time.

I have been using a new toner, I bought the Pixi  skintreats Glow Tonic which is an exfoliating toner. I bought this at the start of winter as I was finding I had quite dull skin and I didn't want to change my current exfoliator and I also didn't want to use anything that's to harsh on the skin as my skin can be quite sensitive.

My moisturisers have also slightly changed, I have been using the Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentrate. This is a very nourishing moisturiser and has been a cult product for quite some time.  I find my skin is so much softer and my skintone looks more even, I have also noticed a reduction in dry patches since I started using this product. 

At night I use Aveda botanical kinetics intense hydrating soft cream, I find this replenishes my skin while i sleep and I prefer to use it at night as I find my skin appears quite oily after I apply it.

For my undereye area I have been using my kiehl's creamy eye treatment with avocardo, it is quite a thick cream which you need to warm between your ring fingers before applying to the area. This has been a favorite of mine for quite some time. I have also recently been given a sample of the Bobbi Brown hydrating eye cream recently and I must say I am also really enjoying using this product. I have found that it is leaving my under eye area very soft and smooth and I am noticing a differnece in how my make up is applying.

Once a week I use a face mask, usually on a Sunday! I have been using two recently and depending on my skin sometimes I will use one followed by the other. I always use the Origins Clear Improvements active charcoal mask fist to help clear my pores and if my skin is feeling tight and dry I will follow this with Liz Earle intensive nourishing treatment mask.
