My skin care regime!

Hey guys!
I thought today I would show you my skin care regime, I've recently changed it and I'm so happy with the results so far and thought I'd share with you what I use.

But first I'll let you know I have combination-oily skin and these products work for me probably because of this reason and if you're the same and are quite spot prone I recommend you give this ago.

So I try and keep my regime quite affordable, at the end of the day I'm a student with a part-time job so my income isn't amazing. Although all the products I use do state they are cruelty free and I'll also offer some alternatives which are great and more affordable than what I use.

So the products I use daily are:

  • St Ives Blemish Fighting Apricot Scrub- £3.99 from most retailers but I try and get it on offer when I can.
  • Anne French Deep Cleansing Milk-£3.99 from Superdrug.
  • The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil-£7.00.
    However Superdrug do a product which works just as good for £3.29 (this is their Blended Tea Tree oil)
  • The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion- £3.00.
  • The Body Shop Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion-£9.00.
    Superdrug also have a Tea Tree Moisturising Face Cream which is £3.29. I would also recommend this just as much as the other two put together.
Also, if The Body Shop products are something you would like to try I would recommend getting a Love Your Body card as it saves you 20% each time as a student the card is free or it's £5. You can read about it on their website for more info. Also I've never actually paid the cost of the moisturisers or oils as I've bought them on sale days which saves you so much money! Highly recommend!

First thing in a morning when I've gotten out of bed I wash my face with warm-hot water to open my pores. I dry my face and then use some of the Anne French Cleansing milk by applying it to a cotton pad and then applying it to my face using a rotating kind of method.
I allow for it to sink in before applying The Body Shop tea tree skin clearing lotion.
I will then allow that to sink in and do my usual morning routine of getting ready for the day.

In the evenings, I usually have a shower or bath and I use the St Ives Blemish fighting scrub. I again use a sort of rotating in circles method to apply this.
I will leave it on my face for a minute and then wash it off.
Once out of the shower/bath I will dry my face and use the Anne French Cleansing Milk.
Every other day or when I need it, I use The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil and I just apply it to areas which have red or painful spots and I allow it to sink it.
I will then finish my routine each day by using The Body Shop Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion.

So that's it guys that's my skin care regime at the moment. I has really improved my skin mainly how glowing I am but also has reduces the size and redness of blemishes that I am often prone to.

I hope you enjoyed reading, if you use any of the products, let me know your opinion in the comments and I hope you have a lovely week until next weekend/Monday :)
