My New Skin Care Routine

So I have decided its time for a change in my skin care routine. 

Since my teenage years I don't think there has been a time where my skin has been perfect. I have gone through years of skin problems and over those years I have tried so many different products & treatments to try and combat my unruly skin.

I was using Dermalogica for years and found it brilliant but over the last year my skin doesn't like it so much. Then I found out that some of their ingredients include parabens, which made me think twice before re-purchasing my usual products.

My skin has been breaking out badly and I got stuck into researching more natural ways to care for my skin. Not only is going natural better for your skin but also better for your purse too! Now don't get me wrong I still love brand name products but to cleanse and moisturise my skin I stick to my oils.

What oils do I use you ask?

At the minute I'm using olive oil and coconut oil and I have to say I love using these natural wonders on my skin. 

        Olive Oil

I like to use olive oil to cleanse my skin more so. It takes off even the most stubborn make up with ease and I just have to lightly massage my face to start breaking up the make-up. There is no scrubbing my eyes red raw to get mascara or eyeliner off.

 

              

          Coconut Oil

Coconut oil has to be my favourite as it penetrates right down into my skin. It gives my skin a gorgeous silky feeling and relieves all of the dry/flaky areas of my skin. 

Both can be used to cleanse & moisturise. But as I said above I usually cleanse with olive oil then moisturise with coconut oil. I also use Pai Skincare's Biogenerate oil before I go to bed to give my skin that extra boost.

This is my nightly routine and my skin is left super soft and bright in the morning. My acne scars benefit too, they are fading slowly with this skincare routine.

I urge everyone to try this out if you are looking for a new skincare routine. 

Your skin will thank you for it ;-)

Love,
