My everyday skincare routine

Hiya everyone!

Today I thought I would give you a quick overview of my current skincare routine.. 

I have never before been into skincare but this year decided I needed to be so I went to boots and bought some products at the start of the year.  Now after a couple of months I have finally found a routine and products that I really like using!  I used to just use a face wipe then simple moisturiser every night and morning and will still use my simple moisturiser in the mornings when at the gym. 


The first step is to use the Garnier Micellar Cleansing water with 2 cotton pads (more if its a heavy makeup day) and I swear this gets off SO MUCH makeup!! As I said, I used to use face wipes and I still have them but when I found out that there is only 1 ingredients different from a face wipe and a floor wipe I just couldn't continue using them on a daily basis! This water takes off so much dirt even if I'm not wearing make up and I love it so much!

The next step for me is to use my toner.  For this I just use the Boots essentials cucumber facial toner.  I love this stuff!  I started off by buying the whole skin range from the cucumber boots essentials range and I really liked it! the night cream was nice and the cleanser was good too.  I just didn't like having to get up when I used my cleanser and I found a night cream that was better!


After this I go on to using the Lush lip scrub called "The Kiss."  I think this was a valentines day special but there are plenty other lipscrubs that have great reviews online.  I love the smell of this scrub and feel like it has been working wonders on my lips since I started using it!  I don't use this every night but when I've been wearing lipstick all day, its a must!


Once I have done all of the hard work my face feels really fresh and this is the perfect time to put a nice thick night cream on.  I am in love with the Nivea daily essentials regenerating night cream!  I put it on my face and neck before I go to my bed and in the morning my face feels so bouncy and like its full of moisture!  I have gotten all the girls at work onto using night creams as it makes such a difference to me when I am applying make up in the morning!

On my body I use the Zoella creamy madly dreamy body lotion.  I know its a classic youtuber product but I am obsessed with the smell and it feels really nice when applied.  I don't know if I will buy this again but I am enjoying it whilst I have it :)








I am still really new to loving my skin so if anyone has any suggestions I would love some feedback and advice on what I should buy next?

Lots of love

A little update

Hola!

Is been a couple of months...

Not that it matters, this is just for me!

So what have I done in the last 4 months?  The answer is not a lot of anything.. 

I've been being healthier, joined a Gym, cut down on my fizzy juice intake and upped the water intake.  I got tickets to a festival in July called Gentlemen of the road which I'm very excited about.  I had a really bad cold and had to take a day off work to recover! I think I've upped my savings and cut down on spending by quite a bit!  If I want to travel I have to keep this up! I've been on dates with guys... then decided I would rather be single!!!

I'm going to be an auntie.. I didn't do this but its affecting my life majorly right now... If anyone ever reads this then they need to understand that unprotected sex leads to babies so if you're not ready then don't be silly!!!!!!!  I don't suppose I can say too much about that though since it's not my story to tell!

In happier news, I got an iPhone 6 and I love it oh so very much!!


I feel like writing just now!  I love having something to look back on to see where I was in my life!

Wish me luck in starting writing again!!
