This is my currant skin care routine now without sounding silly i have a slight "phobia" of washing my face? It all started when i was little and had a bath time fight with my cousin ending me me being drowned but i was a keen swimmer so im still fine in water but most of my skin care is surrounded by minimum wash off except flannels and muslin's. I also developed an allergy to most cotton pads and so had to do without but with most products i found i had more product to use and the product had more impact and went on my skin better!
This is the best make up remover i have EVER used! no need for double cleansing i was a bit worried about it being an oil but it has been a dream, i first started using with a cotton pad but then i had an allergic reaction to cotton pads and discovered how it is meant to be used i like to dampen my hands then use 1 pupm onto the palms to create a milk then slap on all over before washing or wiping off. This is great for eyes no stinging and powers straight through waterproof mascara!
This is one off the most expensive products and a bit of a luxury but it smells sooo good, its very gentle and leaves the skin feeling lovely but it is over priced and was a gift. I recommend using a 1:3 mix of witch hazel and rose water from the chemist for a cheaper but equal alternative.

Chanel Eau Douceur (cleansing water £27) |
I love this product it leaves my skin feeling fresh, i find it a little drying at times but with a good moisturiser it works nicely.
|
Body Shop Nutriganics Refreshing Toner (£8) |
Yet another splurge but this time worth it! The pot lasts ages and a rich non greasy moisturiser is hard to find. It goes onto skin nicely and lasts all night i can feel the difference in the morning! I got this with a few years worth of boots advantage points but a cheaper alternative would be Amie Morning Dew Matte Finish at boots for £4.95 it is advertised as a day cream but gives and equally desired matte finish.
|
Clinique turnaround overnight moisturiser (£34) |
I love this as a morning moisturiser especialy if i cant wear foundation at school i have found it better than some tinted moisturisers and for extra coverage i make my own tinted moisturiser. This is a great product i do wish it was more matte finish but it is great to set with a pressed powder like Mac skin finish neutral.

Soap and Glory Bright here bright now (£11) |
Finally to skin treatments .......
Every other day have a hot cloth cleanse to detox my skin
|
Soap and Glory Fab Pore Hot Cloth Cleanser (£10) |
I love this it is slightly ex foliating and really cleans out my pores. Now for a little confession all of the soap and glory products were part of a gift set last Christmas that me and my sister received but i stole hers as her pores are fine so i can vouch that these products last at least 6 months and they are worth buying.
Then three to two times a week i use a scrub to really refresh my skin
|
Soap and Glory Greatest Scrub of all (£9) |
This is my favourite ever scrub it is so gentle but the popping bubbles work right into my skin and really buff out any impurity's.
Finally when ever i remember about once a week i make my own face pack which will a become a feature.
