Happy Monday!
Like many of us, due to weather changes, hormones, stress and basically everyday life. It is inevitable that I get a few spots here and there. However, over the past week my skin has been quite bad than it usually is.
So, seeing as I had a little break from university last week I thought that was the time to really give my skin some love and affection.
My skin type is combination to oily, meaning I have to make sure that the products I use don't have anything that could make my skin even more oily which could lead to more breakouts and clogging up my pores.
I use Dermalogica Oil Clearing Matte Moisturiser spf 15 £16.15 daily, to make sure I have the best chance of keeping my face as oil free as I can. After suffering from acne for a good few months, and using high end brands such as Clinique, I got recommended Dermalogica by the lady that does my eyebrows - ever since I bought this moisturiser, I will never use any other moisturiser.
Every other day I use the Blackhead clearing pore control scrub £13.10, also from Dermalogica. This scrub also helps to remove any excess oil from my face and really gives a smooth touch. From past experiences, I found that other facial scrubs can be extremely harsh on the skin, leaving it more irritated. But with the control scrub, from the very first time I used it I felt an immediate change in the way my skin felt - for the better obviously.
Every night I use the Breakout Clearing Overnight Treatment £13.10, as it means I can go to sleep while the treatment combats any breakouts I have, the treatment itself is very light and dewy so it doesn't feel like you have anything on your skin during the night - its absorbs extremely quickly as well so you don't need to worry about any product going onto your pillow.
In addition to my daily routine, last week I used Montagne Jeunesse Black Seaweed Peel Off Masque which for £1, really really helps to clear up the skin.
But most importantly, try to drink at least 2 litres of water a day to help add hydration to the skin, especially throughout winter.
I also have started using the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water which is at the moment on sale for £3.33 down from £4.99 I use this every time I take off my makeup after using Simple Cleansing Wipes which, due to my sensitive skin do wonders for me. I found using a micellar water after using my cleansing wipes really helps to ensure I have taken my makeup off entirely as I don't think I can rely on just one makeup remover.
Lastly, as I suffer from oily skin especially around the T-zone, I occasionally use the Seaweed Clarifying Toner, from the body shop.

I love using Simple's light hydrating moisturiser for my face and vaseline moisturiser for my body. Before applying moisturiser to my face, I always give it a wipe over with witch hazel on some cotton wool, which helps to clean the pores and any make up my wipes may have missed!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried Simples light hydrating moisturiser! I'll give it a go once my other moisturiser has ran out! Thanks for the tip ;)
