I have always been terrible with my skincare. I used to sleep in my makeup every day, never moisturise (despite my extremely dry skin) and think that it was totally fine - which it is definitely not. However, in the past year or so I discovered some products that have completely changed this and that I COULD NOT live without now.
Facial cleansers used to be a real issue for me as I found that every single one I tried used to break me out or leave me with a raised rash on my cheeks, not cute. Finally, I found one that didn't do this AND actually worked. The Freederm Facial Cleanser has honestly done wonders for my skin. If I don't use it for a few days the change in my skin is just horrible, but after just a few days of using it again my skin is visibly clearer and softer. It does dry out my skin slightly but a little moisturiser can fix that no problem. I think I'm on my fourth bottle now so I think that really does show how much I love it!
Another skin care item I love is from The Body Shop's Vitamin C range and it's the Microdermabrasion. This is a harsh weekly exfoliator which is not suitable for sensitive skin. My skin as I have mentioned is veeeeery dry and even flaky at times (gross I know) but this product takes care of that completely. Using it once a week really helps to make my skin nice and smooth and actually seems to brighten my skin up as well.
The next thing most of you will probably know about since everyone loves and talks about this product, but it's the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water. This is so good at removing makeup and doesn't irritate your eyes whilst taking off eye makeup. It's super affordable as well, Boots in the UK have deals with it all the time, so you could get it even more discounted if you're lucky!
The Body Shop does amazing skin care and something else I love from there is the Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion. I don't really have any acne scarring or anything however I get quite a lot of redness around my face especially my chin and bottom of my cheeks. This really helps to calm the redness down as well as calming the redness of any spots I have.
The last thing is definitely my most essential: moisturiser. Before this I had not really tried a lot of moisturisers so didn't realise what a difference a good one could actually make to my skin (aka a LOT of difference). This The Body Shop Vitamin C Glow Boosting Moisturiser is honestly so amazing and hydrating. It makes my skin look glowing and also helps to calm my redness down. It is a gel like consistency and sinks in to the skin really fast. I love this and will definitely repurchase when I run out.
So thats it for my skincare staples! You can buy all the products here:
