My Skincare Routine ♔ 2014

Happy Wednesday! Today I thought I would let you see into my Skincare Routine as I find these interesting to read and to write and so do many other people, so here we go. I like to take care of my skin, especially on days where I wear a lot of makeup, by using products tailored to my skin type and with what I like/have been recommended by others! My skin type is Dry Combination type 2 ~ as I was told by a doctor (I also have extremely sensitive skin and have a reaction to most products). My cheeks during the daytime get extremely tight but my forehead and chin are comfortable so I've found that this routine that I am doing at the moment is really helping to balance out all of my skin aspects.

Morning:

On a morning, I don't have much time to do anything really but I make sure I cleanse my face with the Peaches and Clean 3 in 1 Wash off Cleanser from Soap and Glory. Personally, I don't like the smell of this product but I feel like it really cleans my face after being asleep and gets all of the oils and dirt out from the previous day. I then go ahead and wash my face with the For Daily Youth scrub from Soap and Glory, I use this with the weird face scrub pad thing it came with when I first purchased it in 2012. This scrub seems to brighten my face and from the ingredients there doesn't seem to be any harsh chemicals that would break someone out. Before applying my makeup, I then moisturize with the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ by Clinique (what a bloody long name!!). This product specifically really helps with the balance in my skin and helps to lock in moisture where it is needed - I also think it helps to keep oil at bay but I'm not 100% sure!

Afternoon:

When I get in from school, the first thing I do is remove my makeup! I can't stand having it on for longer than needed. So I use the No7 Foaming Cleanser for Normal to Oily skin to remove my face makeup and carefully rub it over my eyes as when it gets in my eyes it hurts hella bad! I then wash this off and apply the Bioderma Sensibio H2O - Micelle Solution water to remove any more dirt and mascara that is left on my face. After, I pat dry with a hand towel. I only do this step to roughly remove my makeup as before I go to bed I clean my face properly!

Night:

At around 8 or 9 each night, I go upstairs to begin getting ready to go to sleep - although I don't for a few hours! First, I scrub my face with the Face Soap and Clarity wash from Soap and Glory and again use the weird pink pad! By doing this I get out all of the leftover makeup and dirt from the day and the feeling after using it makes my skin feel so good as it has a few things in it that help your skin! I then go in with the Clean&Clear Deep Cleansing Lotion for sensitive skin on a cotton pad to treat blackheads and spots - weirdly I also love the smell. After, I apply the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo to help with the dark marks where spots have been and the scaring on my face from when I was younger (I scratched one side of my face when I fell off the pavement which has left dark blue/brown scaring on my face which makes me paranoid although you can't see them as much now.. I know). Moving on - I apply the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream to my entire face focusing on my nose and the area below as they always go dry and crusty - ew! To finish the whole thing off, I apply the For Daily Youth 6 in 1 Lotion from Soap and Glory to my under eye area to brighten it up and reduce the appearance of premature ageing.

I hope you enjoyed reading this guys and I'm going to be changing my schedule of things. New posts will be up Wednesdays and Sundays as they are the best for me but sometimes I might upload extra ones every week. See you Sunday ~ Charlotte x
