Updated Skincare // BeautieCollected

One of the very first posts I made was a skincare routine. Now although there are still a couple of products which remain the same, there are the odd few that have changed and altered to fit with my current skin type. For those wondering I have dry to combination skin, the dry patches being mostly on my cheeks and forehead.

To remove my makeup I still use a Micellar water, this is the Garnier branded one and it works just as well as the others I have tried. I glides the makeup off your skin without an excessive need to rub and tug at the skin. It is also very good and effective at taking off eye makeup, especially mascara and some waterproof products.

As for rinsing and clearing my skin, I like to use a gentle scrub and a wash to both exfoliate and deep clean my skin on a daily basis, more so because I am acne prone! The scrub I have been using is by Neutrogena and it's the Tangerine and Lime Pore & Shine Scrub, it's gentle enough to use daily but still works as a scrub!

Then I follow this up by using a daily wash to clean my face once more. I use the Neutrogena Tangerine and Lime pore and shine daily wash. This foams well and works perfectly in conjunction with the scrub shown before. It leaves my skin feeling clean and soft and is the perfect start and end to any day!

In the mornings to moisturise I use the Simple Kind To Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser. Because of all the products I use on my face during the day, the last thing I want to feel is heavy and weighed down with moisturiser. This has the perfect formulation to keep my skin hydrated all day but feels very weightless and non-existent on the skin.

If I am applying makeup, I will put on the Nivea Express Hydration Primer, this helps smooth out my skin and create the perfect base and forms a light barrier between the skin and my makeup products, but it doesn't interfere with the application of products.

As a final (and lazy) step, if I am staying over somewhere that I am unable to carry all these products or complete my full routine, I just quickly use one or two of the Johnson's Face Care wipes. They take off all makeup very well and are a good alternative if you're having a lazy day!

Overall, I highly rate all these products and would definitely recommend that you check these out and even try them for yourself! They are all also very affordable so they won't break the bank.

Take Care!
