Skincare And Treatment

Hello :)
The key to healthy, clear skin is a good skin routine.

1- Remove all makeup using either liquid makeup remover or makeup wipes. I use Simple makeup remover wipes, I use them for my eyes, face and neck. (The Simple range can be purchased in any major drugstore.)

2- Cleansing and Toning. This is a vital part in the skin care routine as although many people do not cleanse and tone their skin, it's important that you do. Cleansers and Toners can be purchased in any brand but, like most skin products, I prefer to use the Boots tea tree collection.Using cotton wool, apply the cleanser to your face and neck, you'll be surprised at the result and it will make you realise just how dirty skin gets even when you use makeup remover.

3- This is optional. I find that using a face mask once or twice a week cleans your pores and brings out all the bad bacteria that you don't want. I use the boots tea tree peel of face mask it really cleans out all of the dirt.

4- MOISTURISE! This is the most important factor in the routine. You have to moisturise. Using moisturiser at least twice a day will keep your skin healthy and hydrated and will prevent your skin from flaking, going powdery and if you wear foundation it will give a smoother effect. For those of you who do wear skin makeup, you have to moisturise regularly as foundations and powders are prone to drying out skin so it is important that you keep your skin hydrated. I use Garnier moisture match Moisturiser but moisturisers can be purchased from a wide variety of brands in any drugstores/supermarkets. 

5- Spot treatment. For years I had been hunting down a good spot treatment but last year I finally found one! Boots Night treatment, is a clearing gel which works wonders at reducing redness and visibility of acne and occasional spots. Using tubes or bottled spot gels and creams are much better than using wands or sticks. Wands and sticks = more spots. Using a wand spreads the bacteria around your skin, causing the issue to escalate which is the opposite of what should happen. I highly recommend not to use wands or sticks if you suffer from skin problems as they will NOT work! 

I hope this has helped you and if you have anything that helps you please let me no in the comments below.
