skincare routine

I recently wrote an article about the importance of a healthy skincare routine for my university newspaper so I thought I would let you guys know what my skincare routine is! I have fairly oily skin, which can be prone to break outs - but annoyingly enough, it can get pretty dry too. I swear by these products for making my skin feel a million times better on days that I want to hide under a mountain of foundation (never a good idea!)

Face B4

This stuff is honestly incredible. It's a combination of cleanser and toner, with anti-bacterial stuff in. The day I started using in my spots virtually disappeared. It doesn't smell great, quite chemically, and it's not cheap, but it's so worth it. My skin has never looked as good as it does now. 

Freederm Exfoliating Wash

I don't use this stuff everyday, usually about once a week. It can be a little harsh, especially on sensitive skin. I tend to concentrate it on my T-Zone, and my nose, as I get slightly rough skin here. I wouldn't say it helps with spot prone skin, like it promises, but it's a decent exfoliater, and it's not too pricey either. 

Clarins Daily Energizer Lotion

This is a wonderful moisturizer, and smells divine. I don't use this everyday as it is very pricey, so I switch it up with a cheap Boots one. I use this on days when my skin feels like it really needs a good moisture boost. It works an absolute treat in making my skin feel lovely.

Palmer's Cocoa Butter

For my body I love this rich body lotion. I usually get unscented, as otherwise it clashes with my perfume - but the scented stuff smells like chocolate and vanilla, which is just the best thing in the world. It's very rich and thick, which I love, and keeps my legs feeling super soft all day.
