My Skincare Routine

As a teen, I am conscious of wanting to have nice skin. I often wear make-up, which I make sure I take off every night. I have tried out a few different products and have found this beauty cleansing regime to really work for me, so thought I would share it with you.






I originally used Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser Jasmine & Osmanthus 150ml Limited Edition (£20.75) which has a really nice smell and worked well with my skin.






When I ran out of that I ordered the original Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser 100ml (£14.00). I find that this cleanser has a slightly stronger scent but does the same job and I can see myself re-ordering this in the future. With the cleanser I squirt one pump out onto my hand and smear it across my face, I gently rub this in for 30 seconds-1 minute and then I soak a muslin cloth in hand hot water, rinse and wipe the cleanser off of my face. I do this to remove make up at night and use it in the morning to freshen up. I love it.





Once a week I use Simple Kind To Skin Smoothing Facial Scrub (£3.39) to get rid of dead skin cells, with this I just apply a small amount to my damp face and neck and gently massage in, then I wipe it away with my muslin cloth and splash my face with warm water. I don't like the smell of this scrub but it does do the job so I will definitely be repurchasing. 





I also use Quick Fix Facials Calming Clay Mask Sensitive and Red Skin (£4.99) once a week to cleanse the sensitive and red areas of my face. I apply a thick layer to my face avoiding my eyes and leave for 5-10 minutes and then I wipe it away with a damp cloth. It makes my face tingle and I must admit my mum finds the sight quite frightening when I use this.





After this I use Simple Kind To Eyes Eye-Make Up Remover (£3.39) to wipe away any eye make-up the cleanser didn't remove. I simply pour a little bit onto a piece of cotton wool and wipe over my eyes. I love using this, it removes every last bit of eye make up and is very refreshing, I really enjoy wearing heavy eye-shadow and eye-liner so I don't know what I would do without it.




I then pour a bit of Simple Kind To Skin Soothing Facial Toner (£3.29) onto a piece of cotton wool and wipe over my face in upward movements. I'd never used a toner before this one, I didn't know why it was important but it is very refreshing and leaves my skin looking radiant.





In the morning I use Simple Kind To Skin Vital Vitamin Day Cream (£5.19) which I smooth into my face and neck. I love this cream, it smells great and is so smooth, I can never get enough.







At night I use Simple Kind To Skin Vital Vitamin Night Cream (£5.25) which I smooth into my face and neck. This cream has a slightly different texture to the day cream, much heavier but very moisturising, I wake up every morning with baby soft skin.




In the morning I then use Simple Kind To Eyes Revitalising Eye Roll-On (£5.19) to wake my eyes up. I just smooth this under my eyes and dab it with my finger to absorb any left over liquid, and then I smooth on another layer and leave it to sink in. It works quickly and makes me feel much more awake of a morning, which is a challenge in itself.





At night I use Simple Kind To Eyes Soothing Eye Balm (£3.65) to relax my eyes. I squeeze a blob out onto my finger and dab it under both my eyes. This is a great eye balm, I've actually purchased it twice and I love it. I also use Manuka Honey Eye Gel which I got at a hobbycraft show a few weeks back, I dab my finger in the gel and then dab my finger under both of my eyes. I've only been using this for a few weeks but I can honestly say it works well with my soothing eye balm, reduces my eye bags and winds down my eyes. I don't think this is available to buy on-line, but if I come across it I'll post a link.
