Howdy!
I'm quite lucky when it
comes to skincare during winter as I don't really suffer from dry skin. As I’ve
said before, I’m not the most adventurous when it comes to skincare and find it
a bit of a chore. So, when I find something that works, I tend to stick to it. You
may notice a bit of a pattern in some of the products I use but I was gifted a
lot of Soap & Glory products for Christmas, and I mean a LOT. (Wonder if my
family are trying to tell me something? :/) So, I'm currently in the process of
using them up and trying out new S&G products that I'd never got round to
purchasing. Wish me luck!
You’ve probably seen every blogger and their mum’s
dog’s cousin’s aunty talk about this stuff as it’s a Soap & Glory staple
and is featured in most of their gift sets. However, it still remains firmly in
my heart and more importantly, in my bath/shower routine. It’s made up of tiny
little scrubbing beads that are great for taking fake tan off and just for
generally feeling spotlessly clean and fresh!
I've used this stuff around five times now and I’m absolutely in love. It
does amazing things to my face and I can honestly say that post-bath my face
actually does feel like a baby’s bum - if not smoother! What I love about it is
that you literally only need a penny sized amount to go all over your face and
it does a really good job of gently taking make-up off (even waterproof
mascara). Not that I would ever have a bath without taking my make-up off, God
forbid…
These are my saviour
when I’m having one of those days when your face just isn’t co-operating. Those
days when you feel all spotty and dirty and you just want to peel off a layer
of your skin. (Just me then?) These gorgeous little refreshing pads do exactly
what they say on the tub and make me feel so fresh and clean. Because they do
such a good job, the smell is quite overwhelming so I think that’s why they’ve added
the fruity over-smell. Warning: do not actually use on your eyes unless you
want your actual eyeball to dissolve.
This little gem has
currently gone missing from my make-up drawer as a certain somebody (Hi Mum) is
currently suffering from the good old Jack Frost chapped lip epidemic. I know
that lip products don’t really fall under the skincare category but I thought I’d
slip it in anyway just in case some of you had never heard of it. It’s
basically like pink sand in a little pot that you rub onto your lips to get all
the dry excess skin off. However, the best bit being that your lips taste of
bubblegum for the rest of the day. There a few different flavours to choose
from but the bubblegum is definitely my fave!
I hope you enjoyed
delving into my dreaded skincare routine. Although I do understand the
importance of looking after my skin and giving it a treat once in a while, I
would still much rather splurge on a lovely Clinique mascara!
