Wow! I have been missing in action for the last couple of months. Although this is inexcusable and I apologise for not even updating I hope that todays blog post will brighten the spirit!
I'm not sure about you, but when the winter months arrive, my skin seems to lack any sort of lustre and it seems dry, dull and boring. After gaining more than 30 spots a day, I took the decision to bin my simple wipes in order to use something that actually made my skin look like I wasn't a snowman. I headed down to selfridges and after being convinced by the mac girl that I needed 3 dark berry lipsticks, I made my way down to the skincare section.
After careful consideration (and a counter girl telling me to buy it) I finally picked out the ole henrikson cleansing gel and heck am I glad that I did! The texture is unlike anything that I have ever felt- it seems soft and gel like, but glides onto your face so smoothly that you forget that it is a gel. Once it mixes with the water it magically transformed into a cleansing milk, how amazing is that?! It removes eye makeup, and also face makeup near perfectly without even making my skin dry out, it is truly wonderful stuff. I suffer from incredibly red cheeks, and I felt that this product really did well at removing the redness for a glowy and radiant skin. I can not recommend this product enough, but unfortunately great products also come with a great price tag. the price wasn't eye watering expensive, as it was only £24, but for a student with limited cash I did let out a little yelp when the cashier told me the price.
Next on my agenda is my serum. I use the kiehls midnight recovery concentrate which I have fallen in love with. I will be honest, I never tried a serum on my face before this product entered my life on a whim. However, Living without my new found glory is amazing. I used to suffer from extreme redness on my face, and I can honestly say this item has saved my skin from disaster!
When my eye make up is incredibly hard to get off, I reach for my body shop camomile gentle eye make up remover. It used to be my go to item for removing my eye makeup, but recently I find that it is a little drying on my eyes, so I prefer to use my Ole Henrikson these days. I would recommend this though, as it is very cheap and it works well. It smells weird though.
And lastly, My night moisturiser is the origins High Potency Night-A-Mins. This moisturiser is not as amazing as my other night routine items, but it smells amazing and sinks into my skin quickly. I do like this moisturiser, but I have definitely found alternatives which I prefer (the antipodes kiwi pear night moisturiser). However, I will definitely use this product until it is finished.
If you have combination or normal skin, this skincare routine is perfect for you! I can thoroughly recommend that you check out all of these products, especially the cleanser! All these items can be found at the Selfridges beauty counters.
Anyway, Goodbye for now and I will be back next week with another post.
