Evening Skincare Routine
Finally at the age of 21, I have developed a proper skincare routine. It’s about time, especially for a blogger, isn’t it? Today I wanted to share with you my favourite evening skincare products:
I start my evening routine by removing my make-up, using a hot muslin cloth and cleanser. I double cleanse, starting with The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Gel, to effectively remove my makeup, especially any eyeliner or mascara. I then like to alternate between the Priori Gentle Facial Cleanser* (c/o
Courthouse Clinics) and the Eucerin DermoPurifyer Cleanser*. Both work great and leave my skin feeling fresh and make-up free ready for my evening creams and oils.
Firstly, I apply some HealGel Eye* to my under-eyes. I love this product and I don’t want it to run out! I then add some La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo +* to my blemishes, which hydrates any imperfections and helps them to heal. Next I add a few pumps of Priori Perfection Facial Gel* all over my face, which also helps tackle any pesky spots.I’ve recently been converted to the use of oils in my skincare regime. My combination-oily skin has always made me wary of oils, but since beginning blogging I’ve learnt that really oils are
good for your skin. I therefore always use some Nouris Rosehip Oil* which adds moisture to my skin and is proven to reduce signs of scarring. Finally I finish my skincare routine with some Eucerin Even Brighter Night Cream* which feels like it ‘locks in’ all the products and leaves me ready for bed.
In hindsight, this feels like a rather high-maintenance evening skincare routine involving a lot of products! However, in reality, once I’ve cleansed, the rest of the routine takes hardly any time at all and I have seen a marked improvement in my skin. If, like me, you aren’t blessed with perfect skin, it shows that it’s definitely worth investing some time and effort into your skincare regime. What products would you recommend?
