Skincare: Removing makeup/Night

To continue my skincare series here is what I do at night time to remove my makeup.

First of all I use a facewipe to remove most of my makeup, I use both of these depending on which I grap first. Both of these facewipes are really good and I would recommend both of these. The Johnson's baby ones are obviously mean't for a baby but work really well taking off makeup. You get 64 wipes in each pack which is more than you would get in any other pack available. These cost £2.39 from Sainsbury's which is a bargain. They are really soft and they smell nice as well, they do a really good job of taking of my makeup as well. The only thing that I don't like about these is that they are all connected in the pack so when you take one out the others are joined on so you have to stuff the next one back in so it doesn't go dry. The Simple ones are also really soft and nice and they come out one at a time so they are easier to use in that respect, they also have no smell to them. You get 25 wipes in each pack, they cost £2.97 but are on offer for £1.99 in Superdrug at the moment. I really like these as they're really wet so make taking off the makeup easy without causing any irritation to my skin. They are both really good but the Johnson's ones are much better value for money and do just as good a job as any other facewipe available

I then apply the cleanser which is a thick cream consistency to a cotton wool pad then dap it onto 5 places on my face (cheeks, chin, nose and forehead) then go over and move the pad in upward circular motions all over to remove any left over makeup on my face. This works very well as a cleanser taking off all excess makeup which is all I look for in a cleanser and it also keeps the skin clear. The cleanser costs £2.99 but is on offer for £1.99 in Superdrug. I then apply the toner to another cotton wool pad and use it in the same way as the cleanser, this also takes off any remaining makeup. This is also really soothing to the skin but tightens it as well which is why after I have used this I apply the Simple moisturiser to my face which then leaves my face feeling really soft and smooth. I have the old toner meaning that the packaging is now different but im pretty sure the product is still the same. The toner costs £2.99 as well but is on offer for £1.99 in Superdrug as well.

I would recommend all of these products as they work really well and leave my skin nice and soft and take off all of my makeup including eye makeup such as mascara. However this works for me and may not work for everybody as everybody has different skin, I have dry and sensitive skin but I can see this working for most people :)

Skincare: Moisturisers

So I know I have been an awful blogger this month but im back with my skincare products. Instead of doing one really long post with everything I use (which is actually a lot now) I thought I would do a mini series where I would go over the products and how I use them in more detail and I personally would rather read a short post than a majorly long one. Anywayyy on with the Moisturisers I use on my face and body.

I have had this pot of Avon's Rich Moisture Face Cream for about 2 years now and It has only just ran out, I have no idea if you can even still buy it from them but if you can I suggest you look into it. It's an amazing face cream, it is very thick and does sit on your skin for a while so it's best to put this on and then wait 5 minutes for it to sink in, but it's perfect for anybody who has dry skin like I do as it really does stop any signs of dryness on your face. I can't remember how much this cost me but I dont think it was anything more than £5 so it's really worth it as it's lasted me so long and you only needed the tiniest bit to cover your whole face and neck.

As my Avon cream has just ran out I have bought this one from Simple, I have a few other products from Simple and I really like all of them so I thought this would be the next thing for me to try from the range. It is only the light moisturiser but I think I may buy the rich one as well for when my skin is especially dry. I only got this yesterday and therefore only used it twice but it's really nice, a very light cream almost a lotion but not quite, sinks into the skin very quickly and doesn't leave any residue. You can buy Simple from most supermarkets and drug stores, from Boots it cost £3.29 for a 125ml bottle but you only need a small amount to cover all of your face and neck so it should last quite a long time. I can't really give a full review on this but if you would like me to when i've used it for a few more weeks then tell me and I will :)

Now onto my body, I use two different creams for my body depending on the occasion. If I am going somewhere special then I will use the Monsoon body cream as it has a lovely scent which lingers on your skin and if im not doing anything then I will use the E45 cream. The Monsoon body cream smells like the purfume does which is a scent I really like, it is a very think cream which goes a long way when using it. It is really moisturising and is great if you don't like using purfumes as it makes your skin smell amazing and it lasts on the skin a fair amount of time. The E45 cream is one that I have used since I was born as I have eczema and it is one that is good for people who have eczema, however you can use it even if you don't. This is quite a light moisturiser which sinks into your skin well and leaves you moisturised for the whole day. I use this everywhere and can be used for the face as well I just choose to use a different one. This is a very good cream that I highly recommend even though its not fancy or particularly good to look at it does the job and well.

So that turned into a long post, even though it wasn't meant to be(!) but I hope you enjoyed it and if you have any questions feel free to ask :) Have a good rest of the day :)
