My Night Time Routine | Skincare

In the past I never really cared about my skin - as long as I washing it, it would be fine. But recently I have been learning that it is really important to look after you skin and know how to cleanse it well, especially if you wear make up, like I do! So after a couple of months, my skin care has become more detailed, and I don't just mean my face - making sure that the skin on the rest of your body is clean and fresh is just as important as your face. So here are some of the products that I use on a daily basis!

 So here are the products that I use on a day to day basis and I am currently very happy with these products and I have really really been enjoying using them as they make my skin so much more moisturised and it just feels so much better (and I feel a lot better about myself too!)

This is the Soap and Glory Scrub 'Em and Leave 'Em Body Scrub/ Exfoliant. Exfoliating your skin is so important to do regularly so that your skin grows properly, gets rid of any dead skins and it just feels a lot softer in general. This is my favourite one that I have used and rebought a few times as it smells lovely, however some people may not be too keen on it, but it smells like I am at a spa which makes me feel really relaxed. It's also really good for sensitive skin like I have! I use this about once every 3 days and that is just about right for me.

Now I am someone who absolutely loves baths , I just dont  like having baths in the evening - I don't like showers very much. I don't like them in the evening, I just think its' a waste of your  however sometimes it is nice to have a soak in the bath with your favourite lush bath bomb. But in the morning, I feel that having a bath really wakes me up and gets me in a good mood ahead of the day. I love using the Body Shop Shower Gels to wash my body with and I have currently been obsessing over the strawberry scented one. It smells so good, I could eat it!

In terms of lip care, I am quite obsessed with lip balms, which does come in handy most of the time as my lips can become very dry and wrinkly which doesn't look very nice! So in the morning, my turn to lip product as soon as I wake up is the Elemis Fresh Skin Loving Lips Lip Balm which is a super moisturising lip balm and always saves my lips from looking horrible during the day. I must say though, since I have been using this, my lips have gotten a lot better and I am very happy with the way my lip makeup is looking, in terms of the smoothness and it my lips look a lot more levelled. It has lasted me a long time and I will definitely be looking out for more of these when I am running out!

In more of the daytime when I am not wearing any makeup, I am obsessed with the EOS lip balms, especially the scents Honeysuckle and Blueberry, which came in a limited edition pack. They smell amazing and I think that is partly why I use them both so much. They have lasted me such a long time and they are super moisturising and have the cutest packaging - these are always in my makeup bag because of this. These are not as effective as the Elemis lip balm but they still work wonders! 

Now I know a lot of people love to do this, but I for one absolutely love taking my makeup off as soon as I get through the door. I feel so much more fresh and I feel like I don't have to have the pressure of keep looking to see whether my makeup looks OK and I feel I can just ... relax. Now I have very sensitive skin, especially on my face, so it is hard to find a make up remover that suits my skin type, but recently I discovered the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water, and it is the best and quickest make up remover I have ever used - it is so gentle on your skin but gets all of the make up off of your face in a flash and I love it!

It terms of exfoliating my skin, I never really used to bother with it, but now that I have started doing it, I have really seen a change in my skin, in that it is so much softer and has so much more of a glow and I love it. The product that I have been using a loving is the Elemis Fresh Skin Skin Glow Exfoliator - this stuff smells amazing, is so gentle on the skins but works incredibly and gives your skin such a glow. Although it is one the higher side of the price range, It is one that it is well worth the money and I am definitely going to be repurchasing.

In terms of washing my skin in the morning, I loving using the Simple Kind to Skin Moisturising Facial wash. Its so gentle on your skin but is so refreshing to start the day and just an all round brilliant products for sensitive skin types like mine and for its price it really is worth it! For my moisturiser, I use the Simple Kind to Skin Replenishing Rich Moisturiser. This is so gentle, again, on your skin and is so nice to apply before your make up and your foundation and concealer sit so so much better. This again is a real bargain and I have repurchased these two products several times!

Now to my favourite part of my evening - moisturising my legs. Now this sounds boring but I love it, especially when I am using such lovely products with the most amazing scents. For days that I am going out and want a more higher end moisturiser/body soufflé, I love the Ted Baker Body Soufflé. I got given this as a gift, but I used it all up and I just needed it back in my life and I found it in the town centre and I immediately picked it up and I am now reobsessed with its beautiful floral scent and the creaminess of it. I love it a lot and makes my legs feel super smooth and smell like a garden in the summer.

For day to day use, I love using the Body Shop Body Butters. Now I have had many of these in my life but I have always gone to the Strawberry and Raspberry scented ones. The raspberry one will always be my favourite as it smells of raspberry yoghurt which is my all time favourite scent! The texture of it is amazing and it is in the middle between a smooth creamy butter. I love these and I am sure that every girl needs some if these in their life to moisturise their legs and make their night that little bit more fun!

So this is my skin care routine for the evenings, with a little but of the morning but you may do in the evening. I think it is so relaxing when I go through this whole routine fully, especially after a long hard day out and it makes me feel so much more relaxed.

What is your favourite thing to do in the evening?
