Evening Skincare Routine: November 2015 Edition

November 5, 2015November 5, 2015by rachel beauty style1 Comment

Hello Beauties!

I think I’m more of a skincare addict then a makeup addict these days, how times have changed. As much as I love skincare I try not to mix it up too often as my skin can play up. In March I brought to you my skincare routine which you can check out here. Today I bring to you my updated routine featuring more drugstore products which are surprisingly good!

This is my routine I use for hydration nights and every other night I use Alpha H Liquid Gold to get a chemical exfoliation.

To start off with I remove my makeup using this routine, click here.

Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle Scrub

My new go to face cleanser! I’ve lost count of how many tubes my boyfriend and I have gone through. I apply about 5 cents worth to my face and using my Foreo Luna I massage the cleanser into my skin then rinse off after a minute is over. Great cleanser at removing makeup, the beads are gentle and your skin feels clean but not stripped of its natural oils.

Hello beauties,

My morning skincare routine doesn’t change up too much, I tend to switch up a few things but ultimately all the products I used in my previous morning routine are still a fave. Click here if you want to see what I previously used for my morning skincare routine.

Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser

I apply about 1 pump of this gentle, thin gel like cleanser onto my damp skin, massage in and then rinse with warm water. This is a great, no fuss, gentle cleanser that won’t strip your natural oils.

Morning Skincare Routine

April 23, 2015April 20, 2015by rachel beauty style3 Comments

Morning Beauties,

Rise and shine beauties! I’m here to tell you about my morning skincare routine. My aim is to keep my morning skincare routine simple, because who has time for fluffing about? I have oily to combination skin and these are the products that work for me, I can’t guarantee you’ll have the same results.

QV Gentle Cleanser*

Such a lovely gentle cleanser that’s no fuss. It’s a creamy/ milky texture that foams a little bit. I apply this directly to my damp face with my hands and work into the skin. After I rinse I find my skin is clean without being tight. However I think this would be more suitable for people with drier skin. I should mention I also love the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser (you can’t go wrong with this).

Michael Todd Blue Green Algae Toner

I’ve gone through countless bottles of this, can’t recommend enough! After I dry my face I squirt a few drops onto a cotton round and wipe all over my face.

L’Oreal Youth Code Texture Perfector Serum

A very simple serum that hydrates and lightly illuminates the skin (review coming shortly).
