For the next 9 weeks I'm taking part in a project called 'Starting Off' The lovely Steph from Stephs Inside Voice thought of the fantastic idea. Its going to be a blogger series on a variety of different beauty items. From this we all want to try and help younger people or for anyone who wants tips on new products.
Over 100 bloggers are going to be taking part, every Tuesday at 6pm a new post (yes this one is a bit late sorry) I can't wait to see what everyone else is going to be writing about.
Lets get started!!
Cleansers
Everyone needs a good cleanser it needs to make your skin feel fresh and clean. I tend to spend money on my cleansers but I know you can also get some really good ones in the drugstore. I have one for morning and nightime. First up is my trusty cleanse and polish from Liz Earle which I use mainly in the morning. Its very fresh and very light and helps wake your skin up, perfect for the morning I say! For my nightime one I use Emma Hardie Amazing Face Cleansing Balm, this stuff is AMAZING!!! It leaves my skin feeling so soft and so clean, I love it! It is also great for removing stubborn eye makeup. I also have a Vitamin E Body Shop cream cleanser which I also use at nightime to remove makeup before hand. I do like to double cleaners especially at night and if my skin is feeling particularly grubby! I just apply this with a cotton pad and then remove it the same way. Its really good and gentle on your skin.
Toner
I use a toner after I have cleansed my face to make it feel cool and refreshed. I use the Vitamin E body shop one. Its very gentle but still does the job.
Exfoliant
I tend to stay away from exfoliaters for my face as my skin can be very sensitive. I do use one for my lips though just to keep them feeling smooth at all times. I use the lush bubble gum lip scrub. This stuff is pretty good at removing all the dead skin from your lips and it tastes good too!
Moisturise
I do love my moisturiser. This to me is the most important part of a skincare routine. It helps give your skin a bit of moisture and leaves it feeling lovely. I love to use the Vitamin E moisturiser for morning and night. They are so gentle but leave my skin feeling amazing. (can you tell I like the vitamin E range haha) I also like the Kiehls moisturiser I won this at work one day. I use this if my skin is feeling particularly dry. I have added my Effaclar Duo into this section as I apply this before moisturiser. This stuff has kept my skin from having nasty break outs and left it looking its best. I use a benefit eye cream sample at the moment around my eyes. To be honest I'm not sure what its doing but I like using it :) Finally I have my lip moisturiser/butter, this little baby for me is a must especially at night. I use the Nivea Caramel Cream Lip Butter. This stuff leaves my lips feeling amazing.
Right you lovely people I hope you enjoyed this and I hope this gave you some skincare tips!
