Considering I have an overly large travel make up bag, my skincare bag is relativity small and all pretty different to my last skincare post. Link Here
I have considerably reduced the number of products I use on my face on a daily basis in the last few months and my skin went through a horrible period over Christmas so I swapped around all my products again in the last month. This few products are what works best for me at the moment and I have no plans to change it any time soon.
Starting with makeup removal I like to use the Garnier Micellar water as it gets all the dirt and makeup off my face so easily. It works wonders on eye makeup which is something I dread taking off everyday. This product also doesn't dry out my face which is one of the reasons why I love it.
To wash my face I have been using this Spotless Daily blackhead Scrub which I purchase from Wikos at the end of last year. It is really cheap but it has become a really loved product lately, especially when my skin was at its worst. You can use it three different ways; with a lot of water to use it as more of a face wash, with little water to use it as more of a face scrub, or in the middle for a softer scrub. Hope you got that!
A new product to my skincare is the Lush Eau Roma Water (post) which paired with the Blackhead scrub has completely rescued my face. Unlike most other toners it leaves my skin hydrated and refreshed and I think it has been one of the factors in clearing my skin.
I have been loving using the Origins Out Of Trouble face mask lately as a night mask on any lumps, bumps and spots on my skin. It reduces the size of them considerably and the redness surrounding any spots.
My last two products are moisturiser for the eyes and the face. I like to use the Lush Enchanted Eye cream during the day to brighten up my eye area. Then I like to use the Clinique Dramatically Different moisturiser to give my skin extra love during the night and on the days when my skin is extra dry and my toner isn't enough to quench its thrust .

There are so many different products today to remove makeup that it can be a little confusing when your on the lookout for a new product to try. I have three sure fire products that work great to remove my makeup and are all completely different for the different moods i'm in.
The All Rounder - Lush Ultrabland Cleanser
This cleanser is amazing at melting your makeup off, the best make up remover I have every used hands down. It doesn't irritate your skin or even your eyes so it is the dream. The pot lasts for ages considering how often I have used it so it ticks all the boxes for me. I wish I had the energy and time to use this every night but sometimes I do take the easy way out...
The Lazy One - Simple Kind To Skin Cleansing Facial Wipes
Everyone uses this option after a night out or a late night because its just so easy to get it done in a few seconds and it still removes all your makeup in one go. I boycotted facials wipes for years after I heard people saying that they were really bad for your skin and look at me now, I keep a pack on my side in case I can't be bothered to go to the bathroom to remove my make up (bad I know...)
The Other One - Garnier Micellar Water
We all have that one product that we only reach for if we run out of our favourite product. Mine is this micellar water which does the job perfectly but isn't as good as the Lush Cleanser or as easy as the Simple Facial Wipes. Sometimes when I want a change I will whip out this product so that I don't get bored of using the same product.

Here are my current skincare products that I use every night that I find work well for my skin. They may not work the same for everyone but they definitely help keep my skin at it's clearest and since my skin has not been too kind to me during the last year, these products are life savers!
# Simples Kind To Eyes Nourishing Eye make-up remover cream
The first thing I always do is remove my eye liner and mascara with this cream, unlike other creams it doesn't hurt your eyes at all (even when I actually get it in my eye) and it doesn't dry out the skin around your eye after you used it.
#Garnier Simple Essentials Soothing 2 in 1 make-up remover
I use this product to take my foundation/blusher/bronzer off and I am always amazed with how much comes off onto the cotton wool pad. This can be used on the eyes as well but I personally prefer to use creams on my eyes then liquids. The best thing about this make-up remover is that it has no perfume or alcohol in it so it doesn't irritate the skin when you use it. Plus it is suitable for sensitive skin too which mine can be during certain times of the year.
#Soap and Glory Peaches and Cream 3-in-1 Wash Off Deep Purifying cleanser
After I've taken all my make-up off I like to then wash my face with this cleanser just to get any last bits of makeup off of my face before I go to sleep. My friend recommended it to me last month when I was getting rather bad spots on my chin and around my lips and since I started using it my skin had definitely cleared up, to the point where I have only one or two little spots left.
# Sudocrem
Lastly before I start putting any night creams on my face I rub a little Sudocrem on any spots I currently have, Sudocrem never fails to do the job.
Night creams
My current favourite night creams to use are
# Simple Sensitive Hydrating Eye cream
This eye cream is really hydrating on the skin and it doesn't irritate it because it has Aloe Vera in it. I've had this tube for probably over 6 months so it does last a long time.
# Soap and Glory Night in Skinning Armour cream
I love this night cream so much, my skin always feels great after I use it. For most of the year my skin can be quite dry and this cream helps keep it hydrated during the colder months. Again the pot has only just ran out so it does last a long time and I will definitely be re-purchasing it.
So that's the skincare routine that works for me, give some of the products a go and see if they work for you too :)
