My Favourite Skincare Items


Hi Guy's! 
If your anything like me and wear make up pretty much every day, then you really need great skin care products to get your skin super soft and squeaky clean. I have tried countless amounts of skincare ranges but I always come back to one... Clinique! I have typically combination skin; Dry on my cheeks but oily on my T-Zone. I have the odd breakout now and again but I honestly do believe that my skin is kept under control by these products. My typical skincare routine is wash, tone and moisturise every morning and night. And twice a week I will incorporate an exfoliant into my evening routine. Now the reason why I swear by these products is how clean my face feels and how they improve my skin texture. I use one pump of liquid face soap on my damp face brush morning and night, the brush vibrates; taking off dead skin cells. It's designed so you travel across your face using circular motions, which also stimulates the blood flow. To make sure you don't over do it and scrub you face too much, the brush switches off after a minute or two. I was sceptical at first as I believe it was approx £80 when I bought it...I know that's not the most pricey out there, but add it on to my normal spend for cosmetics and it adds up! But I can honestly say I LOVE it! It is the best beauty gadget I have ever bought. It really has changed my skin, everyday my skin is super soft and you can see a visible difference after I have used it. So much so, my boyfriend has had to buy one too! The soap alone is powerful enough to remove even the toughest make up and dirt. But it never leaves you with the tight face feeling so many soap cleansers do.. And as with all of the Clinique products none of their products contain oil so you don't get that horrible slimy feeling after you've just washed your face. If my skin is feeling particularly drab or I have any flaky patches I will use an exfoliator and the one I swear by is from the Clinique Men range. Now don't panic, your not going to wake up with a beard and a deep voice just because it says its for men. I'd go as far as to say it really makes no difference. The reason why I love this exfoliator so much is how clean and tingly it leaves your face. With it being designed for "Men" you'd expect a harsh, course texture but what you get is a soft paste with just the right amount of grit to deeply cleanse your face and a shot of menthol which leaves your skin tingling. I follow each face wash with my clarifying lotion, it's strong stuff so whatever you do.. don't get it in your eyes! It removes any stubborn dry skin and removes any residue of your soap or exfoliator. Again I love the intense clean feeling it leaves you with. One tip.. Visit the ladies on counter to get the right number. The levels vary in strength and if you get the wrong one it can strip your skin. But if you get the right one the difference in your skin is amazing! Once I have perfectly clean skin I wack the moisture back in with my Nip+Fab Dragons Blood serum and layer my moisturiser on top; I'm still on the hunt for the perfect one!
