In today’s blog I want to talk to you about skin care, I want to share with you some products I like to use, how they help and what they actually do. Now these products although they work for me might not do the same for everyone as everyone’s skin types are different- although I know what works best for me other skin types might not agree, if you get to the end of this blog and you know of any exciting products that I haven’t shared or you want to see some products for different skin types please get in touch! Be active, let me know what you think- also thank you for being patient this is all new to me and I’m trying my best✨
So when completing skin care it’s completely down to preference what time of the day you do it, for me skin care is best at night after a long day of wearing makeup! Unlike a lot of people I don’t have a specific routine that is the same every night, sometimes my skin is in need of one thing and sometimes it needs something different when I was looking through the skincare products I use in order to write this blog I was shocked at how many products were by simple skincare! I love this brand- they sell a little bit of everything to make your skin happy and healthy and they’re products are super affordable✨
So first off I want to talk about face wash, washing the face is something that is I feel mandatory in any skincare routine! When washing my face I use “Simple face wash”- this face wash not only cleanses the face but also exfoliates and removes any impurities without leaving your face feeling irritated or dry. Now before purchasing this product or any product I always read the online reviews and some of them regarding this face wash were not positive at all! A lot of the reviews were saying the product made their face really dry, it gave them irritation some said that with their acne it made it a lot worse and that it dried their acne out further causing worsened breakouts. However this product is made by simple and I swear by simple so I thought I’d try it out, when I used it for the first time I was unsure, I feel like when you put any new product on your face there’s always a bit of irritation, but I stuck by it- I gave it a go for a week and I haven’t stopped using it since! For me it does not dry out my skin at all, in fact it makes my skin less dry and tight which I found didn’t happen using other face washes. I have tried so many face washes and my skin is super sensitive because of my eczema especially on my face the slightest use of a wrong product or a product that does not suit my skin causes massive breakouts this was not the case when using the simple face wash. However just because it works for my skin type doesn’t mean it’s going to work for everyone’s it’s all about finding the product that works for you. (This product averages at around £3-£4).
So the next product I wanna talk about is simple facial toner. I love this product I apply it straight after I wash my face whether that be through a make up wipe it as a quick fix or through a deep wash with my facial wash, I apply my simple facial toner by putting just a small amount on a cotton pad and then rubbing it all over my face and even a little bit on my neck tone is brilliant if you don’t use it you should, well you don’t have to but I would recommend using it, it works to remove any leftover dirt or impurities that still reside on the skin after the skin is been washed it also restore skin pH leaves reducing any rough patches and improving your skin tone. I love simples facial toner as one of the ingredients it contains is Witchhazel which is something that works to reduce acne and also reduce inflammation so like puffy eyes or you know red swollen patches on the skin like acne or a little bit of irritation. For the longest time I bought Witchhazel on it’s own and I still do I still swear by it but I find that in this toner it works really well and I haven’t needed to use it on its own for awhile now so that’s a money saver and saves a bit of time because you only have to use one product rather than three. (Averages around £4-£6)
Next I want to talk about “Simple protecting light moisturiser” this product uses an oil free blend of ingredients which contain added Vitamin E and Pro-Vitamin B5. This product is fab! It’s super lightweight on the skin and to apply it I simply add a pea sized amount onto my finger and directly rub into the skin. This product also adds protection from the sun and although I live in wet and windy England with my fair skin I’m prone to skin breakouts and decolorisation due to sun exposure so products that add protection against UV rays I feel are essential. (This product price averages out at around £3-£5 depending on where purchased, which isn’t too pricey at all!!)
So, as said before washing your face at the start of any skincare routine is massively important but what if you’re on the go and don’t have time to wash it with water or face wash what if you need just a quick fix or a quick wipe over and cleanse just to remove the day off of your face. This is when I turn to my simple kind to skin biodegradable wipes these are life changing! Much the simple face wash I find these wipes do not dry out my skin. They also contain vitamin B5 and vitamin E! Vitamin B5 is a great thing to put in a make up wipe it helps to keep the skin soft and it also helps in hydrating the skin. Vitamin E is also brilliant to put in a make up wipe, vitamin E helps to promote and support cell function so therefore skin health. This is why I love simple products because I always feel like I’m adding something healthy to my skin I’m helping it after a long day putting a lot of make-up on, probably too much! I love to feel cleanse and I love my skin to feel lifted and re-vitalised a lot of products I’ve tried in the past haven’t helped my skin after removing my make up in fact they’ve made it feel dry and tight and I don’t want my face to feel abused after wearing full days worth of make up I want to feel cleansed and like it’s finally breathing properly. I also want my skin to feel super soft like a peach and I feel like simple products leave my skin feeling smooth, soft and really happy. ✨🍑 (This product averages at around £2-£3)
So I wanna wrap up for today we’ve talked about just a few of the products I use for my skincare routine all of them being simple I am going to write another blog where I’m just quickly going to outline some of the other products I use by other brands I just wanted to talk about these main ones because I cannot rate them enough. I also want to reiterate that just because these work for me doesn’t mean that work for all people and all skin types. I haven’t included facemasks in the skincare routine although I do use them frequently this is because I want to do a blog just dedicated to different face masks I’ve tried, what I like and if they work for me. If there’s anything else you’d like me to include or you know of any other simple products that you love and I should try please let me know. If you’ve got this far into the blog thank you for reading. I am also going to include pictures of the exact products I have mentioned in this blog because I know you can get different variations of them so I wanted to let you see exactly what I was talking about and yeah I hope you have a lovely week and I intend to upload again this week so if you haven’t already please subscribe to the email notifications so you don’t miss a blog and follow my Twitter which can be found down below, so yeah thank you, love you, see you soon✨✨✨
