My skincare routine

I thought I would make a post about my current skincare routine.
I have oily/combination skin which can get quite dry on my forehead and cheeks in winter.





I have had the same routine now for a few years but tend to use different products to switch it up a bit.




Every morning in the shower  I use Clean and Clear Blackhead eraser
I prefer a facial scrub that has small beads in it that really makes you feel that you are cleaning your face completely. I really like this facial scrub and have found it has kept black heads at bay. I also like this product as it usually has some sort of discount on it making it cheap as chips!


After this I go straight to my moisturiser. I used to cleanse and tone first but my Doctor said I should take a break as I could be "over cleaning" my face. I am not sure, what do you guys think?



The moisterizer I use is Nivea light moisturising day cream
I find this moissterizer is just right for my skin type. It soaks well into my skin and does not leave it shiny. It also helps to moisterize any dry areas I may have from the winter months. It also has a SPF 15 built in which I love. I will definitely repurchase this again.


Next I use Clinique all about eyes I love this moisterizer under my eyes. It reduces any puffiness I may and makes my eyes look awake and refreshed. It is a little pricy but you only need a little amount and I probably only need to purchase twice a year.



I think that this product is my faveourite skincare product I have! I have used Witch hazel blemish stick for years and always keep going back to it. It helps to dry out any acne I have and if I have been naughty and picked my skin it feels that it is healing the area. Love this product and if they ever discontinue it I would be heartbroken!

In the evening it is pretty much the same routine however I do use face wipes instead of a scrub. I know, I know they are supposed to be bad for your skin. I guess they make everything so much easier! I am tempted to stop using them for a bit and try another product just to see if there is any change to my skin.



Once a week I tend to use an exfoliating scrub such as Clinique 7 day scrub
This makes my skin feel silly smooth and gets rid of any blackheads that I may still have. I try not to overdo this as I feel I'm scrubbing my face every day anyway.




Finally the most expensive product and the one I'm happy to say I use the least is Renee Rouleau Anti Cyst treatment
I suffer from cystic acne from time to time. They tend to stick around for a couple of months and take ages to go down. This product I find helps dry them out and form some kind of a head on them. (They are usually large red bumps)
I found on some occasions it has stopped them forming so big. However other times it does not seem to do much. It is expensive for the tiny product but I have had mine for about two years and it's just starting to run out now.

And that is that. If you have any reccomendations for future products I could try please let me know in the comments below! Thank you!
