My morning and night skincare routines vary a slight bit (due to removing make-up at night) so I will go through each routine step by step below. If you have any questions then just comment below and I will be happy to answer.
MORNING
1. Firstly, I wash my face using Boots Essentials Face Wash. I remove this face wash using a flannel and then remove any remaining wash with water.
2. I then apply Boots Essentials Eye Gel around both eyes. To do this I use a pea size amount of the gel and gently pat it around my eyes.
3. Lastly, I apply Boots Essentials Moisturising Lotion to the remaining areas of my face and neck.
NIGHT
1. To remove my make-up I use Garnier's Simply Essentials Cleansing Lotion- I use this to remove all my eye make-up but also remove the majority of my foundation. I put some lotion onto a cotton pad and remove my make-up gently, especially my eye make-up and around my eyes.
2. Using a face wipe, I gently remove any remaining foundation. I use Lidl's Iseree Facial Wipes which are for normal and combination skin. I have tried many different brands of facial wipes and these are definitely my favourite. I have been using these facial wipes for about three years now so I would be devastated if Lidl ever stopped stocking them. Even better, they are the cheapest brand I've seen with their price of a euro or less for a pack of twenty-five. I like to avoid using facial wipes where possible as they can be very drying on the skin. This is why I do not remove my eye make-up using wipes.
3. Once all my make-up is removed I then wash my face using Boots Essentials Face Wash in Cucumber.
4. Next, I apply Garnier's Simply Essentials Soothing Vitamin Enriched Toner all over face and neck, avoiding the eye areas. I leave that to dry naturally. This toner removes any impurities that remain on the skin including dirt, make-up and pollutants.
5. Once my skin has been cleansed I then moisturize. First I apply Boots Essentials Eye Gel around both eyes.
6. Finally I apply Boots Essentials Moisturising Lotion to the remaining areas of my face and neck.
Once or twice a week, I exfoliate my face and neck using Boots Essentials Facial Scrub. I don't like to exfoliate more than twice a week as I find it can make my skin very dry but this will be different for everyone depending on their skin type. I also use Boots Essentials 3 Minute Clay Mask once a week. I apply this to my face using my fingers and remove gently with a damp flannel.
Always remember that just because skincare products are expensive, it does not mean that they are the most effective and the most suited for your skin. The products I use are not too expensive and suit my skin perfectly. It's important to identify your skin type (oily, sensitive, normal, etc) so you know what products will be suitable for your skin.
Tip: Avoid using products that contain alcohol as they can make your skin dry. When buying, look at the ingredients to see if alcohol is listed. Some products, such as Garnier's Toner and Cleansing Lotion, state on their packaging that the products do not contain alcohol.
