My Skincare Routine

So, I thought I'd do a post on my skincare routine. Obviously everyone's different but these steps have improved my skin SO much; I don't really break out at all now, so some of it might be useful to you!

In the Morning...

First I wash my face with warm water or in the shower, then 3 times a week I'll exfoliate with myClinique 7-Day Scrub Rinse-Off Formula（£19，审查here). It's quite an expensive product, but this is one of the few pricey skincare bits I do really think is worth the money; as it's so gentle but leaves my face really smooth.

I always use theBoots Vitamin E Gentle Eye Cream（2.54英镑），这对价格只是惊人！我喜欢它比起源于吞咽眼霜;虽然我的黑暗圈子没有任何东西，但它绝对会阻止我的眼睛浮肿和疲惫。它还包含精致的眼部区域的SPF，很多昂贵的眼霜甚至没有SPF！

Every day I apply theNo7 Protect and Perfect Advanced Serum（£23.95）。这不是我的日常生活中的重要步骤;它是预防性的，我认为它可能会改善我已经拥有的一些细节，但我没有注意到巨大的差异。血清和很多人喜欢它的人并不是那么昂贵，但对于我来说，一旦它跑出来，我就不会再买它......

After this I use theClinique Superdefense Daily Moisturiser SPF20 for Combination to Oily Skin(£39). Again, it does the job but I think it's pretty overrated; La Roche-Posay, Vichy and No7 all do cheaper moisturisers which are just as effective!

At Night

This is the really important bit that's improved my skin massively!

I know face wipes get a LOT of hate from bloggers but personally I think they're fine for getting the first layer of makeup off, they just aren't sufficient in themselves. So I'll gently wipe my face withJohnson's(£3.05) orSimple(£3.25) face wipes for sensitive skin.

Next I'll use myBioderma Sensibio H20(£9.99) on a cotton wool pad to remove my eye makeup. It's so gentle and I hate putting gloopy things on my eyes. If I'm feeling lazy I'll remove all of my face makeup with the Bioderma, as I don't have to go the the bathroom and it's easier to get the bits around the hairline using a cotton wool pad. It's kind of hard to get hold of in the UK and it's a little bit pricey, so you can always try theGarnier Micellar Cleansing Water(£4.99), which is meant to be a great dupe.

If I'm not being lazy, I'll dampen my face with warm water before applying myVichy Purete Thermale Purifying Foaming Cleanser（11.50英镑，审查here) and washing it off with a clean, damp flannel.

After this I tone with myLa Roche-Posay Soothing Physiological Cleanser(£12, reviewhere), which leaves my skin super smooth and gets any tiny bit of makeup still lingering around.

After this, I again use the No7 Protect and Perfect Advanced Serum and apply theNo7 Beautiful Skin Night Cream for Normal Oily Skin(£13.50). I really like this night cream, as it seems like it'll be thin and greasy but it sinks into the skin really quickly, leaving it soft not sticky!

Whether this works for you completely depends on why you think you're having skin problems. My bad skin generally correlates to not eating well, drinking, lack of sleep and not removing my makeup properly, so this really works for me. I also have combination skin; parts are super-shiny and others have dry patches. I'm also prone to redness, blackheads, dark circles and large pores. So much of having good skin is down to genetics, but if you think yours could be improved by lifestyle changes I'd definitely recommend trying some of these products :)
