routine
Hi doll's!
I've recently been thinking about all the skin care post's that I love reading and realised that I hadn't shared any with you. So last post I shared was my night time skin care routine and now I'm a little bit backwards (cause I like to be special) and am going to go through my morning skin care routine.

| Pure Daydream cream by Victorias Secret, Garnier Perfect Blur and Estee Lauder Day Cream x |
1 - Coffee.
My morning starts at seven am (if i'm lucky) with a toddler jumping on me so coffee needs to be mentioned as a life saver for even functioning!
2 - Wash.
I love washing my face with good old H20. Warm water and a flannel does a great job in waking me up nicely and removing any sleep from my eye that might be lingering.
3 - Moisturise.
Lately I have been using this Victorias Secret Pure Daydream moisturiser in the mornings. It is fruity scented and has a slight shimmer to it. I also find this gives a nice glow to my skin for days where im not planning on wearing any make up.
4- Day Cream.
Every other day of the week I will apply my Estee Lauder Day Cream. This is a beautiful smooth and creamy texture that really gets into the creases of your skin. I focus on my under eye area and on my décolletage because I feel like that is quite affected and neglected with day to day skincare products.
5) Apply make up or a Blur.
Here is when I would normally step in and apply my make up or any other products I would be using for that day. I am loving the blur's at the moment and Garnier Perfect Blur is one that I am constantly using up and replacing. I can visibly see the difference and it gives my skin such a smooth matte finish. It's also very affordable and can be picked up doing the groceries!
6 - Sunscreen
So so important! This is going to be something you need on you twenty four seven with coming into summer. And it is always the days that are cloudy and overcast you get the most burnt from. Read my post on make up + Sunscreen here.
Voila! There is my day to day routine. Mornings are hard for me as i'm not a morning person at all but they get easier with the help of coffee.

Hey beauties!
For a while now I've watched and read all about your skin care routine's. I love hearing about everyone's favourite products because it helps me discover new products that I would love to try.
I realised that I have never actually shared my skin care routine with you before! So why not start with my night-time routine....

| Here are some of the product's mentioned. Left - Cleaner + Toner Top right - Exfoliator's, bottom corner is moisturiser. |
1 - Cleanse + Tone
I'm currently using the Botanical's fresh foam toner and cleanser in Pomegranate. This is part of the Nutrimetics range so I assume that it was picked up from a consultant (I was gifted this). It is a foam cleanser/toner that is non drying in a pump like dispenser. I love this as it's quite gentle on the skin but you can also notice a difference. It is especially effective around my T Zone as I break out quite often on my forehead.
2 - Exfoliate
At the moment I am alternating between two exfoliator that I love and am about to run out of both of them. The first is Trilogy's gentle facial exfoliator. I love this because you can feel the scrub when you rub it on and it makes me feel like it's really getting rid of all the nasty stuff. The second is Moreish Skin Care ANEW Exfoliator. This one isn't as harsh as the trilogy one so depending on what mood I'm in I will also grab this one. The Moreish exfoliator has a delicious scent to it too that I love.
4) Moisturise
My skin needs hydrating after all of that carry on in before so I always moisturise when I'm finished. I love the Nivea Coco Butter. This locks in the moisture and keeps my face feeling so soft. OR I really love the secret craving by the Victorias Secrets range. This is pink in colour, slightly fruity scented and also has a slight shimmer.
5) Repair
Night time is such a crucial time for our skin. While we sleep it's hard at work doing it's thing and if there is one area on my face I need to take the most care of, it's under my eyes. About 5 night's a week I always put on an eye cream under my under eye area and I've been loving Moreish's Reawaken Eye Cream. Putting it on at night saves time in my morning routine and it also gives it time to work it's magic without putting cosmetics over top.
So it's relatively easy but that's what it needs to be when there is a thousand other things to do at night when my son goes to bed.
