My Skincare Staples



For along as I can remember I have always had the urge to evolve and change my skincare. I love trying new products and experimenting with different brands. However, my skin hates me for it! My skin resembles the personality traits of an old grumpy man, that likes what he likes, and is as stubborn as a mule when it comes to trying something new. Therefore I have given in and have tried to gather a collection of products that my skin really likes. 

Starting with cleansers - 
Mornings I use St Ives Apricot Scrub - Such a lovely exfoliator that freshen up my skin and helps clear away any nasties. 
To remove my makeup I have been using a cleansing oil - My favourite is the Body Shop Oil, but have been trying the new Clarins Total Cleansing oil. (look out for a full review)
Nighttime I use Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser - This is a no brainer for me. It is fragrance free, soap free and gentle enough for my crabby skin. I know it is not the most glamourous product on the market, but it really is a treat for my skin.

Moisturisers and Serums - 
My nightly Serum is the REN Clearcalm Replenishing Night Serum - Such a lovely, lightweight formula that skins into the skin instantly. It really helps to keep my skin crystal clear. 
My morning an nightly moisturiser is, and always will be Clinique Dramatically Different Gel Moisturiser. I have seriously been using this since I was about 15! It just works for my skin and leaves it feeling silky smooth every time. 

So these are the staples that I will always have in my routine. I can afford to chop and change facial masks, and toners and eye creams, and tend to do so on a regular basis, so I did not include them in this post.
