I start my evening routine by removing my make-up, using a hot muslin cloth and cleanser. I double cleanse, starting with The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Gel, to effectively remove my makeup, especially any eyeliner or mascara. I then like to alternate between the Priori Gentle Facial Cleanser* (c/o Courthouse Clinics) and the Eucerin DermoPurifyer Cleanser*. Both work great and leave my skin feeling fresh and make-up free ready for my evening creams and oils.
Firstly, I apply some HealGel Eye* to my under-eyes. I love this product and you can read my rave review here - I don't want it to run out! I then add some La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo +* to my blemishes, which hydrates any imperfections and helps them to heal. Next I add a few pumps of Priori Perfection Facial Gel* all over my face, which also helps tackle any pesky spots.
I've recently been converted to the use of oils in my skincare regime. My combination-oily skin has always made me wary of oils, but since beginning blogging I've learnt that really oils are good for your skin. I therefore always use some Nouris Rosehip Oil* which adds moisture to my skin and is proven to reduce signs of scarring. Finally I finish my skincare routine with some Eucerin Even Brighter Night Cream* which feels like it 'locks in' all the products and leaves me ready for bed.
In hindsight, this feels like a rather high-maintenance evening skincare routine involving a lot of products! However, in reality, once I've cleansed, the rest of the routine takes hardly any time at all and I have seen a marked improvement in my skin. If, like me, you aren't blessed with perfect skin, it shows that it's definitely worth investing some time and effort into your skincare regime. What products would you recommend?

Not tried any of these products but they look lovely. The body shop do some good products. I really want to try La Roche-Posay though.

I love the La Roche-Posay, it does seem to be a blogger favourite! xx
DeleteThis has been a really interesting post. I just LOVE to read about other people's night time routines. My routine was always SO low-maintenance until I started reading beauty blogs and watching beauty youtubers, I swear! I now use a fair few products, but I still don't double cleanse. I really admire the commitment of those who do! One day, I'll be a double-cleanser and I'll feel like a real woman!
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely to meet you (in the loo) yesterday and I've really enjoyed reading your blog! <3

Haha I agree, I've only just started double cleansing and I have noticed the difference at removing that pesky eyeliner! I agree that blogs are such an influence on my skincare regime.
