I thought I'd start my blog with a beauty based post which focusses primarily on my skintype and skincare regime.
Sometimes I have a habit of rambling on and on...but I intend to keep this post short and sweet :)
My Skin Type*My skin type is combination and therefore tend changes with the seasons, during Spring/Summer I would describe it as oily whereas in the Autumn/Winter it is normal/dry - my cheeks and undereye areas are prone to dryness so I switch to a more rich moisturiser.
*At the moment, I would say it is normal/oily but because the weather is changing it isn't as oily as it can be! During the summer months, I tend to wear less makeup and it literally slides off :S I don't really wear a lot of makeup anyway but I love to experiment with colours and I do love my blush!!
My Current Skincare Regime
Neutrogena Deep Clean Invigorating Gel WashThis is quite a strongly scented gel which lathers up a little on the face and it is invigorating indeed. I have been using it for over 3 months now and it cleanses my skin nicely.
Rosewater/Cucumber TonerI actually mixed a Garnier toner with some Rosewater and it really freshens up my skin after cleansing it and also provides my skin with extra moisture.
Neutrogena Visibly Clear Oil Free MoisturiserLet me tell you...I have been through so many skincare products high end and drugstore and well both have their pros and cons. The high end moreso with their pricetags and the low end with their short-lived improvement for the skin. In terms of high end if i could afford it I would perhaps buy Dermologica. I tried out a travel pack just over a year ago and the results were amazing, honestly my skin felt so well cared for! Whereas in terms of low end I used to work for Lush's sister company 'B' and I bought Lush skincare for a good while but it was shortlived :(
At the moment I have been using this moisturiser for over 3 months as well and I love it. It has a very mild scent, the consistency is very good and my skin feels instantly smooth and toned. I will definitely be buying this product again when I've ran out!
Soap and Glory 'You Won't Believe Your Eyes' Eye MoisturiserI like the fact that this eye moisturiser is an illuminator as well as an undereye moisturiser. It has a very nifty rollerball applicator which means you don't use too much product and that it also glides onto your skin smoothly. I have been using this for about 6 months and I am just coming to the end of the tube now. It has really brightened up my eye area and dealt with some minor dryness perfectly.
Neutrogena Deep Clean Invigorating Daily Facial ScrubI like this scrub but not as much as the Neutrogena Visibly Clear. Why? I feel I don't get much of a scrub out of this product even though the the exfoliating beads are of a reasonable size...hmm it just isnt working for me. Thankfully I am halfway down the tube so not long to go before I repurchase the VC scrub.
Neutrogena Deep Clean Makeup RemoverLove, love, love this product. The only makeup remover that does the job properly! It is a creamy gel which I apply to cotton wool and then use on my face to remove my makeup.
Vitamin E Skin OilThis product is amazing especially since it is getting quite chilly now. I tend to use this in the evening after I have cleansed and toned. It smells divine and although in the evening it leave my skin slightly greasy, by the morning my skin is a soft as a baby's bottom :P
So these products make up my skin care regime at the moment and they have been working pretty much fine for my skin although I have tried and tested way too many products but these have worked best for me so far.
I hope you all enjoyed reading my 1st proper blog...
Peace out
