My Daily Facial Routine

It is not always easy to settle on a facial routine that woks well, but I think I may have found one! These are the products I have currently worked into my daily routine. 

• Vichy Normaderm Tri-Active Cleansing 3-in-1 Cleanser Scrub and Mask, £11.00
• No7 Soft & Soothed Gentle Toner, £8.00. I did a post on this product recently, here
• Melvita Orange Blossom Extraordinary Water, * £14.00
• Oilatum Natural Repair Face Cream, £7.65
• Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream, * £20.00. I also did a post on this a while back, here
  
• Blistex MedPlus Balm, £2.59

My daily routine starts off with a good ol' cleanse. I got a little sample of Vichy Normaderm Tri-Active Cleansing 3-in-1 Cleanser Scrub and Mask in my January GlossyBox - just when I was on the lookout for a new cleanser. This 3 - in 1 product is a cleanser, exfoliant and a mask. I have only used this product as a cleanser and it is brilliant. It's 25% clay and has a lovely creamy texture, it leaves my skin feeling really fresh and clean. It's a great product for skin that is (like mine) prone to imperfections and works well on sensitive skin. I've used up all of this lovely little sample now and I need to buy some more as I really want to test it out as an exfoliant and a mask too. 

This is then followed with a spot of toning, I'm currently addicted to my No7 Soft & Soothed Gentle Toner. I did a post on this a little while back (click above for link). As you can see by how much I have used, I am still loving it!

After cleansing and toning I pour a little bit of Melvita Orange Blossom Extraordinary Water into the palm of my hand and use my fingertips to apply it all over my face. This product is formulated with Soy-based Hyaluronic Acid and has a lovely fresh orange scent. I really like this product and I have most definitely seen an improvement in my skin since I've been using it. It limits the loss of water and preps my skin for moisturising. 

I have suffered from eczema all my life (unfortunately), it can be quite hard to find a cream that can moisturise my skin properly. I normally have to use a bit of a special dry skin cream I picked up in Mauritius as an extra layer. I had heard so many great things about the Oilatum Natural Repair Face Cream that I thought I would give it a whirl. It is working quite really well for me and leaves my skin feeling super supple and silky smooth. It provides lots of moisture to my face, especially to the eczema patches. A little goes a long way with this cream as it can be a bit oily. I'm currently on my third tube of cream, it's working amazingly for me - but that could also be because my sister has been stealing it. 

For my eyes I am loving Balance Me's Wonder Eye Cream. I included this eye cream in a post a while back (the link is above). I pat and smooth a bit of this cream around my eye area using my ring finger. 

To finish off, I dab a little of Blistex MedPlus Balm onto my lips, this is my favourite lip balm at the moment. The brutal weather has not been kind to my little pout and recently I have NOT left home without this little pot. It includes carrot oil which is packed full of antioxidants, as well as menthol ingredient which leaves my lips feeling zingy. It also includes cocoa seed butter and lanolin to maintain moisture levels.
