Skin Saviours
27 Sept 2013
I was recently lucky enough to be a guest blogger for the lovely Lauren at Becoming Beauty and I thought I would share with you my post!
My daily skincare routine is pretty basic, but I also like to use the following products to keep my skin in tip top condition. My skin type is normal/dry, so my main concern is dry skin but every now and then I also suffer from those horrid blemishes.
Firstly, a face scrub is a must. I like to use a face scrub before I apply a face mask, this helps to remove any dead skin cells allowing my skin to reap the benefits of the face mask. I am currently using the Elemis FreshSkin Skin Glow Exfoliation Face Wash which is a very delicate scrub, perfect for sensitive skin.
I also like to apply a face mask once a week, in doing so I have found my skin has benefited hugely. I currently alternate between the Elemis Deep Clean face mask (purifying) and the Elemis Magical Moisture face mask (quenching). The former really helps to draw out any impurities whilst the latter leaves my skin feeling like a baby’s bottom.
If I feel my skin is still in need of a boost I like to use a face oil or an intense moisturiser. For dull and tired skin I reach for the Balance Me Radiance Face Oil, leaving my skin looking nourished and radiant. For times when my skin is feeling particularly dry I like to use the Shiseido Skincare Night Moisture Recharge which will always replenish my skin.
To treat any nasty blemishes I use the spot treatment Etat Pur Salicylic Acid 300. I received this in one of my Glossy Boxes and it really helps to soothe and calm any irritated skin. What I love most about this is it is not drying at all, whereas many spot products are which is not ideal for my already dry skin!
Lastly, one of my favourites is a face spray. I currently use The Body Shop Vitamin E Face Mist and have done so for the past few years. I absolutely love using this in the morning after applying my make up, are not only does this help to set it but it is nice and refreshing helping me to wake me up in the morning.
