Skin care ...




Hey Guys :)


Now i'm really into spending lot's of money on super expensive skin care,I think this is due to the fact that I don't really have problems with my skin but that doesn't mean that I don't take care of it. I tend to use these face products mainly in the evening, in the mornings I usually just wash my face with some cool water and use a bit of moisturiser. Everything I mention in this post is relatively cheap and really easy to find. The best way I can think to do this post is walk you through everything step by step just as if I was taking off my makeup at the end of the day.

Simple, kind to skin cleaning facial wipes - £3.20
 So first I like to take off my make up with face wipes, my all time favourites and all I will ever use are the simple kind to skin cleansing wipes, these have to be the best wipes I have ever used. They are super gentle on your skin even if you suffer with really sensitive skin as they have no harsh chemicals or fragrances. They are also super moisturising. I like to use these before cleansing as even though my cleanser will take off my make up I just feel like using these first helps to get my skin super clean. If you use wipes a lot you will probably notice that sometimes they can start to get a bit dry, a good trick is to keep your package upside, then all the liquid will always be settling in your top wipe. Now these are £3.20 a pack which may seem a little expensive but they do tend to be on offer quite a lot so I just stock up when I see an offer.


St Ives, Fresh skin apricot scrub - £4.99
 This product is probably one of the most well known exfoliator there is, and I'm not surprised its cheap, you get a lot of product and it works. It's the St Ives apricot scrub and I use the fresh skin version. Theres not really to much more I can say about this product other then I wouldn't use it everyday as then it does become a little to much for your skin. They do it in a few different types including gentle, blemish fighting and a microdermabrasion version. It is available at boots and even at most supermarkets these days and is £4.99

Boots Botanics organic range £4.99 each

When it comes to cleansing and toning I just wanted something really gentle for my skin but something that would still remove any oil or dirt from the day, and leave my skin feeling refreshed, and a few months ago I saw that boots has updated their Botanics range and it was on offer so I decided to pick up a few things and I am so glad that I did. I use the cleanser and toner from the organic range, and these are amazing they leave my skin feeling so soft and looking really bright and healthy. And for £4.99 each you cant really go wrong.


Simple hydrating cream - £3.79 Botanic night cream - £3.99

Next is moisturisers, I have two moisturisers that I love to use one is a day time cream and one is night cream. For the daytime I use the simple hydrating moisturiser, it is super light and absorbs so quickly so is perfect for under your makeup. The next cream is a little different and may not be to everyones taste, again it is from the boots Botanic range, and is the hydrating night cream for brighten skin, now the thing that is slightly different about this is it contains alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that is found in hibiscus flowers, it sounds super scary but its nots its gentle on the skin and all the AHA is there for is to brighten and plumpen skin, and if I didn't you it contained AHA you wouldn't know.




And finally this may seem a a little weird to have in skin care, but when I get the odd spot or a bit of break out, After taking off my makeup I like to add some antiseptic cream to keep the area clean and germ free, helping healing time of spot.


So hopefully that gives you a quick idea of what sort of skin care you pick up pretty cheap, I would really advise looking at the boots Botanic range and they do different cleansers, toners ect for all different skin types.
