| My current skincare routine |
Walking to Uni this morning, the weather was a lot more fresh and mild than it has been lately and I finally felt like Spring might actually be around the corner! Inspired by this, I thought I'd share my current skincare routine with you as it's pretty Spring-friendly.
- Every morning and evening I use the universally adored Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish cleanser, rubbing it into my skin in my bedroom then by the time I reach the bathroom it's had a chance to work it's magic. It's probably worth mentioning that I remove my makeup first with any old facial wipe (currently Nivea) so my skin gets all the benefits of the ingredients directly.
- Following this I use a cotton ball to wipe my skin with the Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic to remove any residual cleanser and close pores.
- I smooth about half a pump of the Estee Lauder Idealist Serum on to my face only in the mornings and before moisturiser. This gives such a lovely, velvety texture to my skin and really has made a difference to any scars I have, mainly on my cheeks.
- I use Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturiser for Normal/Combination skin every morning which is great for hydrating without leaving a greasy finish. In the evenings, if my skin feels comfortable, I won't apply any moisturiser and let my skin breathe.
- I read so many glowing reviews about Origins Spot Remover that I had to try it, and my God, it's incredible! Tiny bottle, amazing results.
- Finally, a recent purchase; Liz Earle Superbalm. I bought this because I've had a couple of random dry patches and I thought this would do the trick. Thankfully I was right and a daub of this in the evening smooths out and flaky bits and I use it throughout the day to banish dry lips. The only problem is possibly the smell (strong, herbal and lavender-y), which sent my friend into a sneezing fit in a lecture. Not for everyone.
And there you have it! Clean, beautiful skin that's the perfect basis for a pretty Spring look. Take a look at Fleur and Tanya's Video on Spring makeup for inspiration or head to Liz Earle, Estee Lauder and Origins if anything's taken your fancy.
