Everyday Skin Care

Bonjour mes amis!

I was doing my little skin care regime last night and then I all of a sudden knew what this weeks blog post could be! This has pretty much been my staple for the past few months now and I don't have any plans to change it any time soon. 

So, in a morning when showering I use 'Clean and Clear Exfoliating Daily Wash' (£2.99 - but on offer in Boots for £2 at the minute!) on a make up-free face and massage in.

 I like that this wash has teeny-tiny beads in which exfoliate the face without being too harsh to use everyday. The wash foams up and is easily massaged into the face and is quickly rinsed leaving my face feeling squeaky clean and soft too. 

After I get out the shower I go straight in with the 'Super Facialist by Una Brennan Tea Flower Mattifying Moisturiser' which is targeted for oily skin like mine. 

It retails at £12.99 in Boots, but again is a 1/3 off at the minute so you can pick it up for just £8.66 - I'll definitely be popping into Boots this week to pick one up in advance!

It's what you would expect a normal moisturiser to do and ticks all the boxes for me. It sinks in fast, smells fresh and leaves my skin soft and as a good base for my makeup.

When it comes to taking off my makeup I've been using the 'L'oreal Paris Skin Perfection' range in either:

• The Cleansing and Perfecting Milk (£4.99)
• 3 in 1 Purifying Miceller Solution (£4.99)

And I personally prefer the Solution rather than the Milk as it's lighter on the skin and you don't feel like you're smushing a cream around your face to then have to get a clean cotton pad to wipe it all off. With the Solution you get the same effect, no gunky eyes and use less cotton pads which is a winner for me. Plus then you feel like your moisturiser is actually sinking in and not just sitting on top of cleansing milk mixed with makeup cause that's just gross! 

For moisturising at night time, I use the same moisturiser as in the morning because I know it does a good job and will work while I sleep. But if I were to find an intense moisturiser which is better for using at night then I'd use that - I'm open to suggestions please!

Once a week I use the 'Super Facialist by Una Brennan Tea Flower Pore Purifying Clay Mask' (£8.99 - but also on offer) which is a clay mask which you just leave on for 15 minutes and then remove with warm water. It's easy as pie! It just a nice way to get 15 minutes peace (or longer) and to chill rather than be rushing around all the time! I then just use the matching moisturiser and my skin feels all pampered and lovely. 

So that's it! All high street products and all reasonably priced and they have lasted me so well especially during freshers week where I was doing my makeup twice a day for daytime and evening and my skin didn't suffer because of these staple products. 

So I hope you enjoy and maybe try out some of my recommendations, please let me know what else you want to see and I'll see you soon.

Toodlepip! x
