My twice a week Skincare Treatment!

Hello blog readers! So whilst doing my twice a week Skincare routine which is different from my every day routine I got inspired to show you guys what I do every Wednesday night and Sunday morning! Just as a heads up I do have oily to combination skin so this skincare routine may not work for everyone! So now i'm going to show you step by step what I do in this routine!

I start by removing my make up with whatever make up wipes I'm using at the time but I tend to stick with Johnsons Face Care Oil Balancing Facial Cleansing Wipes. I abserloooooootly LOVE these face wipes they take off my make up like a dream, (EVEN MASCARA) wow. They arn't dry which is something that I HATE about facewipes is when they become bone dry half way through use! And they treat my face well! They also do face wipes for normal and dry skin to! Check out there range here.. http://www.johnsonsbeauty.co.uk/face-care/

I then cleanse my face with a cleanser and cotton pad, the cleanser I use is the Botanics Organic Hot Cloth Cleansing Balm which is a lovely organic cleanser that loves my skin and does it good! It is £8.99 from boots but currently boots are having a 1/3 off all Botanics products! So go HEAD TO BOOTS! quick RUUUUUUN! http://www.boots.com/en/Botanics-97-Organic-Hot-Cloth-Cleansing-Balm-70ml_1262019/

After gently cleansing my face, I follow that step with a scrub, the scrub I use is also by Botanics, it is the Botanics Purifying Face Scrub for Normal/Oily Skin. I find that this works great for me as a scrub, It's not to harsh so could be used for everyday use to! It says it reveals a brighter complexion and draws out impurities which is great to! Some cleansers/scrubs strip away too much of the skins natural oils and makes you break  out, this one doesn't hoorah! I really love the Botanics range because they use natural ingredients like plant extracts which work great with my skin! (side note, my mum also loves this product and she has normal skin!

Now I have completed the cleaning regime of my face so my skin is clear of any make up or dirt I have collected throughout the day (woohoo)! I have splashed it with warm water so my pours are open! This next part is simple but effective! I heat up some water until nearly boiling and add the juice of half a lemon and then drop the lemon in! After that I put a towel over my head lean my face over the bowl and enjoy a nice steam for 15 minutes! (lifting my head up every 5 minutes so it doesn't get to hot) this deeply cleanses your face getting hot steam right into your pores drawing out any yucky impurities which will cause your skin to break out in horrible red in attractive spots! (tasty... NOT!)

We're nearly done, I promise! I now will apply my favourite face mask, if my face is really spotty I tend to use a tea tree spot treatment mask, but on clearer days I use the planet spa African Shea butter nourishing face mask from Avon, which just nourishing my skin and makes it super soft! I sit with this all over my face for another 15 minutes and wash it off with warm water! 2 more simple steps now, I close my pours with the 'breath of fresh air' toner water from lush, which I have to say is lovely and I have repurchased it twice! I then use the best high street moisturiser I have come across for tackling my spots without drying out my skin which is the 'dual action oil free moisturiser by clean and clear'
I then cosy up with a hot chocolate and go to bed with happy skin!

Review! PHYSICIANS FORMULA custom eye enhancing kohl kajal eyelinertrio.

hello there blog friends. long time no see.. today I am writing a blog post on some lovely eye liners I got sent from my auntie in America! I myself have never heard of the brand 'physicians formula' as I don't think you can get them here in the UK. However, I love this product! It comes with three kohl eyeliner pencils (green, purple and black) all amazingly pigmented and so soft, the black one is strangely softer than the other two! here is a swatch..

I have used the black pencil nearly everyday since I've had it and get on so well with the product, it glides on nicely the pencil isn't to big or to small it's just perfect!

Another handy point about this product is that on the back it shows you the different custom looks you can do with these pencils. It says you can use the green for a natural look, the purple for a playful look and the black for a dramatic look! You could even mix them all together if you were feeling that brave!

The formula is 100% waterproof but I have found it to smudge a little bit if you put it under the bottom last line.. This brand is hypoallergenic, fragrance free, paraben free, dermatologist approved and safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers which is great!

All in all a great product that I will be using in some tutorials very soon!
bye for now.
