My Daily Skincare Routine

Hi everyone,
Skincare is a very important part of any teenagers daily routine so I thought I would show you all what I use and what I think of them.
WARNING: these products work for me but they may not work for you, so try experimenting with different brands until you find the ones that suit you.
MY SKIN TYPE: oily T section and dry cheeks.
At first your skin breaks out a lot of spots, don't worry, this is usual but keep using it morning and evening every day and it will start to come into affect properly after a few days.

80 Cotton Wool Pads by Sainsburys Basics

The first item is essential because you can't exactly pour cleanser onto your face... I prefer this to cotton woll buds because these are easier to use. You can get them anywhere and I just use Sainsbury's or Asda basics as they work just as well as the more expensive ones.

 

Simple Kind to Skin purifying Cleansing Lotion

Most of my skincare products are from the Simple range (as you will soon learn) and I love the Kind To Skin range as it does not affect sensitive skin and has lots of lovely minerals in that are great for your skin. It dries quickly than other brands and is easy to put on.

You put cleanser on in big circular motions all around you face to clean your skin from any impurities you may have.

I used to use the Clean&Clear cleanser but it just smelt of chemicals and never really left my skin feeling clean, well it did, but I definetly feel like my face is clean and not tight since switching to Simple.

 

Simple Kind to Skin soothing Facial Toner

Toner is a very important part of any skincare routine as it helps smooth any rough patches so that your skin doesn't only look nice, but feels nice as well.

Use with the cotton pads it swift upwards movements to get the best results.

 I never used to do this step until last summer and since then I have noticed a massive difference in the texture of my skin (sounds wierd but I can't think of another way to put it).

 

Simple Kind to Skin hydrating Light Moisturiser

This step is essential, especially for dry skin as it hydrates the face to help to become smooth with no redness or flaky skin. This one is perfect for oily skin too because it has no oils in that would make you skin even more oily. Basically, check what skin type the product you want to buy is designed for and then make an informed decision as to what would be best for you; don't just use what your friend or favourite celebrity uses, it might not work as well for you.

I used to use the Clean&Clear moisturiser which worked just as well for me but I decided to give this one a go as all my other Simple products where amazing and I decided that since they were roughly the same price and worked the same, that I would stick with one brand for everything where possible.






Tea Tree Blemish Gel by The Body Shop

I love this Blemish Gel as it helps to reduce the amount of spots on your face and reduces the redness. I use this product after my moisturser as I have done since I was about 10 and it works like magic. I go through it quite quickly but it is really cheap and quite a small bottle so it is expected.

To get the best results just dap onto your spots and wait for the "magic" to happen :)

Vaseline lip therapy

I use this on my lips to help them look and feel soft and moist. Burts Bees and Baby Lips also do the job well but I use vaseline the most for no reason, i just happen to ;)

 

Hand Food by Soap&Glory

Next, I use this hand cream to leave my hands not only smells amazing but feels amazingly soft as well. I use the amount the size of a green pea and massage it into my hands morning and evening to keep my hands healthy.

Simple Clear Skin oil balancing Exfoliating Wash

I use the exfoliating wash in the shower by putting a small dollap in my hand and massaging into my skin. I leave it for a couple of minutes then wash off with clean water. I do this in the shower as I shower 3 times a week and this is about the amount of times you should use this product; you should not use it everyday so I use the shower as I reminder to use the facial wash.

I used to use the Clean&Clear facial wash but it left my skin really dry and flaky which was not the effect I was going for and since I moved to Simple it has helped to removes bumps and spots to leave my skin feeling hydrated and smooth.

 



Simple Kind to Skin cleansing facial wipes

I use the cleansing wipes in the evening to remove my makeup before I go to bed as you should never sleep with makeup on. It freshens my face and removes my makeup so it is a two-in-one really and it is super cheap and lasts a long time.

I use this product all around my face and neck in big circular motions, removing makeup and dead skin as I go.

Hope you are all having a fantastic 2014 and found this helpful
