A couple of months ago I wrote a post about my summer pamper routine. Within that post I briefly mentioned about sharing my skincare routine so todays post is going to be all about skincare and what I'm currently using.
I have always been very lucky with my skin in that I rarely ever suffer from breakouts and most are hormonal related. However, due to government guidelines relating to corona virus I and many others are now required to wear as mask whilst at work. As you can imagine this has led to an increase in breakouts. For this reason I recently decided to change up some products I use to more suit the changes in my skin.
CLEANSER
My current favourite cleanser is from the Garnier SkinActive range and is their soothing cleansing milk which I will usually use to remove any makeup I am wearing.
FACE WASH
The face wash I am currently using is the Neutrogena refreshingly clear facial wash. Not only does the grapefruit scent of this face wash smell incredible it is also oil free meaning that it is more effective at helping with oil control and dealing with dirt on oily skin.
TONER
Whilst shopping around for skincare a few weeks ago I also picked up a new toner. The one I'm currently using is from the Garnier Organics range suitable for combination to oily skin. I usually apply this every night after washing my face and I have definitely been noticing a difference. One of the ingredients in this product is Salicylic Acid which has been known help dissolve excess oil buildup.
MOISTURIZER
I have been using my current moisturiser for a couple of years now and it is still the one I am using daily. Most products I like to change out depending on the time of year, however I mostly always keep the same moisturiser.
What is one skincare product you couldn't live without and why?

The last hair care routine I posted was in 2016 and ALOT has changed since then so I've decided to write an updated routine. If you have been following me since then you will know that in 2015 I dyed my hair dark brown from blonde. I have been doing this consistently for around 5 years now.
In my previous post I was talking about how I would use the Herbal Essences colour range and how it was the best for my hair however this has now changed. I now currently alternate between a hair dresser recommended oil based shampoo and a cheaper drugstore brand. As much as I would love to be only able to the more expensive brand it is quite a fair amount of money so not something I can afford regularly.
Unless I have plans to go out mid week I will usually only wash my hair 1-2 times a week. This is something I have been doing the past couple of years and honestly my hair is in a much better condition so if you are able to leave your hair longer between washes I would definitely recommend doing so.
In between washes I will use a dry shampoo to refresh my hair. I have tried out many dry shampoos over the years and the one I am currently using is a supermarket brand. It most definitely isn't the best dry shampoo money can get however I would say I prefer it to everyone's favourite 'Batiste'.
Unlike my skin my hair does tend to get oily fairly easily and I was recommended by my hairdresser to use an oil based shampoo to try combat this. So a couple of times a year I will treat myself to some products from the Kevin Murphy range. My favourites are the Angel Wash and Angel Rinse products which are created for fine coloured hair.
When I am not using them I will use the Garnier ultimate blends Shampoo which contains Argan Oil and cranberry and honestly smells incredible!
The only other product I use on my hair I use a couple times a month just to refresh my hair is a hair mask. The one I am currently using is from the Garnier Ultimate blends range which contains Aloe Vera and Coconut.
