My Skincare Routine

My skincare routine!! Ooooo exciting! Or not really, it's pretty late and I think I am past that stage of being over tired haha! 

So I don't have a massive skincare routine like a lot of people. And it's pretty simple! 

Step 1: At night I remove all my make-up using Benefit's Remove it make-up remover, £16.50. This if fairly pricey in comparison to make-up wipes you can get for around £3. But I have found wipes very drying, and this has really kept my skin hydrated. Also it removes my make-up a lot better, as I use cotton pads and you can see less and less make-up on each pad you use. 

Step 2: I then move to my bathroom, rinsing my face with pretty warm water, ripping off a chunk of my Movis face soap from Lush, and rubbing this all over my face to cleanse and exfoliate, it isn't at all a harsh exfoliation as I have quite sensitive skin but I feel like my face is really clean afterwards!

Step 4:  I use Benefit's Triple Performing Face Emulsion with SPF15, £21.50. This is a great moisturiser for me and pretty much always keeps away the dry patches I have always suffered with! And it smells fresh too! 

Step 5: Around 3 to 4 times a week I use the Let the Good Times Roll Face and body Cleanser from Lush, this has a slightly grainy texture, smells of caramel and makes my skin so soft! I love it so much I have made my boyfriend try it!

Step 6: I then try to use a face mask once a week, I always go for a Lush one as they are so natural and pure, this months selection is Oatifix! 

As you can see I stick to Lush or Benefit products, I just feel like Lush is really natural and has always worked for my skin all over my body, and although Benefit is perfumed which can sometimes be a downfall with any product when you have sensitive skin Benefit's products are just really hydrating!

As much as I hate every sip I take I am also trying to drink a lot more water which will do wanders to your skin!

Have you tried any of these? Anything else you can recommend to me?

Let the good times roll

I am a big lover of lush, and not like most people, I don't love the bubble bars and bath bombs, but the face masks and skincare. Let the good times roll has to currently be my favourite face product, granted I probably don't treat my skin as well as I should with skin care routines etc, but this is just Amaaazing!

Lush says 'This face and body cleanser is a gentle treat for the skin, leaving you 

soft to the touch with a buttery popcorn fragrance'

I feel that this gives more of a caramel scent off than popcorn, but then you first buy a pot there is popcorn pieces in the top which I think is a cute little touch. Due to this product being more of a cleanser rather than a scrub it is very finely gritty like sugar almost, which makes the use of it very gentle and not at all harm your skin.

I think this cleanser REALLY works, I went in looking for a cleanser/ scrub because I have fairly dry skin and although I have a foundation that has moisturiser in it sometimes that isn't enough. I wanted a cleanser at this point as I suffer from really dry patches when around some flowers, lillies specifically, and just generally I do suffer from eczema. So I am not a particularly spotty person and I think this could be because I don't have oily skin, but this does help when I do have a couple coming through. This isn't something I use everyday, only two or three times a week and this works for my skin, and leaves your skin feeling sooo soft, I love it, I would recommend it to everyone! 

Happy reading lovelies!

Lush Review - Dream wash and Dream Cream

Lush Says: Calming shower soap. Dreamwash is a perfect smoothie for troubled skin. It's incredibly mild and actively soothing - wonderful for skin with a habit of going flaky and red with anything other than plain water.
We mix chamomile with calamine, calming Aloe Vera, soothing rose, tea tree and lavender essential oils. It works wonderfully, and that's not bias. We Promise.

I started using 'dream wash' just over a month ago, and I have seen a major improvement in the condition of my skin. I suffer from a skin condition called eczema, my skin gets really dry and itchy, I get to the point where I scratch so much I make myself bleed and then stings when I put anything on it. I have always been really sensitive with shower gels and soaps and up until I discovered 'dream wash' I was using 'Original Source-Lime' which was really zesty and I loved it, but my skin still got irritated often, that's when 'Dream wash' stepped in and changed it.

Lush Says: Calming and dreamy. Incredibly soothing body lotion for troubled skin. Dream Cream is Lush's best-selling product because it makes sore skin feel good again. Chamomile and lavender calm irritations, reduce redness and banish blotches.
Partnered with 'Dream wash' Lush recommends using 'Dream Cream' as a moisturiser to soothe the dry itchy skin. I use this as a moisturiser every morning and after i take a shower or bath. It was great to take on holiday as I used it after getting burnt on the beach and it's also keeping my tan for longer as my skin isn't getting dry and peeling as quickly as it would usually, ( another good product for keeping your tan longer is 'Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula, heals and softens rough dry skin') Dream Cream and Dream wash both lather really well and so last for a long time.

Have you ever used either of these products?? What do you think of them?? If you havent tried them, are you going to??
