My everyday skin care routine

Now I know that every person has different types of skin and that skin-care routines will vary to what suits you as an individual. Even so, 'if you are kind to your skin, your skin will be kind to you' is a mantra that fits with all skin types and so I thought I'd tell you a little of what I know about how to treat your skin kindly.

These three staples will pretty much suit all skin types.

1. Facial wash:

Cleansing gel washes are fresh but don't strip your skin of natural oils. Just as long as your cleanser is sulfate free (non-foaming) your skin will be happy. This goes for shampoos as well, but more on sulfates in a separate post...

2. Eye make up remover:

I avoid using wipes as I think they pull on your eyelashes and are often rough in texture, instead taking the creamier option; removing the make up with specific moisturising remover on cotton wool after dissolving the make up with water first. The skin in this area is delicate and is one of the first places you'll start to wrinkle so it's definitely worth being gentle here, even if it is slightly less convenient (you can forgive yourself for grabbing the wipes after a late night out) 

3. Moisturiser:

Very important. Something thicker for the night and something lighter in the day.

I happen to be using the Simple range for all of these (moisturiser not in photo!) although there are lots of different brands which all depend on personal preference. I also use Evian to rinse. I promise I'm not a water snob living in a palace of cheese, I just can't use London hard water on my face!

And that's pretty much it!
