Unlike the majority of beauty bloggers out there, my budget just can't stretch to Liz Earle, Clarins and every other expensive brand out there for skincare. And I don't actually mind, I've found a skincare routine that really works for me, and it doesn't bankrupt me.
If you've been following me for a while, you'll know that I was absolutely obsessed with The Body Shop's Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream before Christmas, and when I opened my stocking, I found not only the day cream, but the cleanser, toner and night treatment! Thank you Father Christmas! I absolutely love this range, I have fairly combination skin, and this adds moisture to any dry patches, as well as getting rid of any excess oil. This range has made my skin better than before, and The Body Shop quite often have good deals going!
If I have a breakout, these three products become my life savers. The Premae face tonique is a new discovery, it came in this months Glossybox. It contains antiseptic, and when I swipe it over my face, I can instantly feel the difference, my skin feels lighter and it helps clear up spots super fast.
I've been using Witch Doctor Gel since my first ever teenage breakout, at the recommendation of my mother, and I swear by it. I simply dab it on a spot when it appears, and it helps aid the disappearance of the bugger! Then I whack out the Tea Tree oil which stops any scarring, and gets rid of any pesky residual spottiness!
I picked up these Soap and Glory Deep Pore Purifying T-Zone wipes on a three for two offer on Soap and Glory at Boots, not really expecting anything amazing, but just wanting to try them out. But they are great! I simply go over my t-zone with these twice a day, and after a couple of months of use, I'm pretty sure my pores are shrinking!
I use this Nivea eye make up remover daily, it's super gentle and doesn't irritate my eyes at all, and one wipe will get rid of eyeliner and mascara, minimal fuss and it's cheap as chips!
I posted about this cleanser not so long ago, in my Lush haul, and two weeks later I still can't get enough of it, it possibly the best thing I have ever bought. It smells amazing, it makes my skin feel great and it's all natural stuff, no nasties for the skin!
I think I paid 75p for this 25 pack of Vitamin E cleansing wipes. I picked them up because I was staying with my boyfriend and forgot my cleanser, and I've repurchased them a few times since. These make my skin super soft, and plumper from the vitamin enrichment. I tend to chuck these in my bag if I'm staying the night at a friends, or if I'm feeling lazy and can't be bothered to take my makeup off and pamper my skin.
And last but not least, I try to drink at least one, preferably two glasses of orange juice a day, and I drink a ton of water. Since I've been doing this, my complexion has been notably clearer, and I feel better in myself!
What are your skincare favourites? Do you use expensive products, or do you like to find a cheaper alternative? Have you used any of these products before?
