My Current Skin Care Routine


The past few months I have been quite unhappy with my skin having suffering from a number of break outs. I really feel like my problems started during my Tiny TEAtox (which I soon stopped after realising how bad my skin was becoming).
 
I recently changed my skin care routine and I have to say that I've definitely noticed an improvement in my complexion!

So, here are the products that I am currently using morning and night and which I believe are to thank for clearing up my skin (I have listed the full details of each product further down).
 
Step 1: Firstly I remove as much makeup as I can with a makeup wipe (it varies depending on what I manage to get hold of). I then use my Avon Solutions Complete Balance foaming cleanser. I really like this face wash, it smells pleasant and to be honest I love the fact that its a foam!
Step 2: After washing my face with my Avon cleanser I apply the Nivea Daily Essentials Refreshing Cleansing Lotion onto a cotton pad and gently wipe away any remaining makeup. Its amazing how much makeup is still left on your skin even after using a makeup wipe and cleansing wash!
 
Step 3: Now its been a while since I've used rose water on my skin (I actually first used it after my mum saw Gok Wan advertise the benefits of rose water on one of his shows haha). I picked this one up from Holland & Barrett but any brand of rose water will do. This product has replaced my regular toner and I once again apply it with a cotton pad.
 
 
 
Step 4: The next step is to moisturise. In the evenings I use the Nivea Regenerating Night Cream, which I was pleasantly surprised with. It has quite a thick consistency and really does the job! In the mornings I switch to the Nivea Express Hydration Primer which makes my skin feel amazing afterwards (I still however use a primer and I feel this isn't enough on its own).
 
Ands that's all! If you are struggling with your skin and your skin type is normal/combination I definitely recommend that you give these products a try. They're all fairly inexpensive and can be found on the high street!
