Hello guys,
First time blogger here ahhh.
But anyway i love fashion and beauty and really everything in general that is girly vintage and pretty. I am very much a girly girl as you will learn from my posts! Here on my blog you will see all sorts of different routines and reviews and hauls.
So i'm going to get straight into it because honestly who wants to read a boring introduction, i know i wouldn't!
So here you go my Skin care routine.
I feel like before i start i should explain what sort of skin i have so you can fully understand why i have particular products and how they work for me. I have normal skin but i have a oily t-zone, but around my nose and eyes in winter i do get dry skin and unfortunately i am extremely spot prone :(
At this current moment i am in love with No7 skin care products, i am using products that specifically target oily skin which is perfect for me, but i do use other things on my face so here we go.......
Morning Skincare routine, STEP 1:
I always brush my teeth before i wash my face, but to brush your teeth is an obvious step. After brushing your teeth, i get my No7 Beautiful Skin Foaming Cleanser. I make sure my face is damp and press down on the bottle once as that is enough to clean your whole face. I rub that into my face and under my chin until the wash goes sticky(not a technical term but that's how it feels on my face). Next i rinse it off with warm water and i dry me face.
I like this wash because it makes my skin feel great and its not to strong or harsh on the skin. It also moisturizes my skin but also at the same time gives me a Matt finish and keeps my oiliness under control. The face wash claims that it is "A gentle soap free foaming cleanser that cleverly dissolves make up and impurity's whilst helping tightening pores" It does tighten pores.I always fully take my makeup off before i use this wash so i cant say if it does dissolve make up but i believe its better for the skin to take your makeup off before you cleanse its a lot better for your skin and it looks after your spots better.
STEP 2:
Next i use my No7 Beautiful Skin moisturizer. I do not use toner after i cleanse as i have not found one that completely works for me yet and my cleanser does the trick. When i moisturize i put a little bit on my finger and wipe small amounts on to different areas of my face such as each individual cheek, nose, chin and forehead and then i massage it all in together not forgetting my neck.
I love love love this product, i struggle to find a good moisturizer as i often find they make me even more oily than i already am, and that's not really what i want ! But at last i found a moisturizer that doesn't make my skin more oily and greasy than it already is! I really like the smell of it to its smells a bit like cucumber which i think is nice and refreshing.The thing that puts me off moisturizers the most are ones that smell not to great (eg the simple moisturizer isn't the best smelling thing in the world) so im happy with the smell of this one. It also has SPF 15 and a 5star UVA so all in all a very good product.
STEP 3:
I don't like using to many things on my face in the morning because i want my face to be looking fresh, and not like my pours are full of product, but if you have a good enough foundation or bb cream (or anything else you use) it should cover it up but its not very good for your skin, so i try to keep it basic in the morning. These next three steps are optional and you don't have to do them but i do them because it really helps my skin. Next i use my No7 Beautiful Skin T Zone rescue. I simply apply a small amount to my nose and forehead and rub the cream into my T Zone.
I don't do this every morning if i don't think my skin needs it. If i'm looking shiny i will put it on to mattify my face, and i like this product just because on my oily days it does a bang up job on getting rid of the greasy shine on my face.
STEP 4:
Again this is optional but next i use No7 Beautiful Skin Rapid Spot Rescue. I don't apply this on every single pimple on my face because i just simply wouldn't have enough cream for the job, but when i get individual red angry spots i use it and it calms the redness down and its amazing because it makes my spots go so much quicker:)
This cream forms a clear protective layer over the spot which then hardens up so you can put makeup on with out getting the make up in the spot and making it worse.
Double thumbs up for Rapid Spot Rescue.
STEP 5:
Almost done just apply your favorite lip balm, to get your lips looking as great as your face!! You can use any lip balm you own although i would avoid using lip glosses and colour pigmented lip balms because you will apply them later on when you do you make up. The lip balm is prepping you for that stage!
I use Vaseline on my lips most mornings, but Vaseline can be quite heavy on the lips so if i'm wanting something a bit lighter on my lips i use, one of my Mayberlline Baby lips, in either Hydrate, Intense Care or Mint depending on what i want.
All you have to do next is your makeup if you wear it and tadaaa all done.
I hope you liked my first blog post let me know what you think and see you next time thanks guys, see you next time.
Much love
Beth xx
