Skin care routine ♡

Hello guys!
 
Today's blog is going to be about my skincare routine and how I look after my skin. Hope you enjoy scrolling and reading through it. 


So first I start by scrubbing my face with the 'skin therapy cleansing scrub' which I purchase from Wilkonsons. I'm not sure how much I brought this for. I only use this once or twice a week as it is a bit harsh for your skin and it can cause redness. As a scrub it works pretty well but is not one of my favourites. I think the best scrub I've used is the st. Ives apricot scrub which worked wonders for my skin. 


The next thing I use is this face wash from clearasil. This is amazing! It smells like avacados which I really like and it is a brilliant face wash. I use this twice daily: in the morning and before I go to bed. It leaves my skin really smooth and luxurious. This can also be used as a facial mask. 


So now that my face is clean, I moisturise it with my Olay double action sensitive day cream. I do not have sensitive skin but I've tried the normal one and it irritated my skin a lot so I decided to try the sensitive one and so far I haven't had any problems with it.

I then use the Lancôme rénergie yeux multi-lift eye cream. This moisturises under my eye a lot and it also reduces puffiness and prevents dark circles. I use my ring finger as it is the gentlest finger and pat the eye cream towards my inner corner because that is the direction your blood flows. Overall I think this is a good eye cream.


After my face is nice and moisturised I use this acne treatment and it is absolutely amazing. This is my third tube. It gets rid of acne within 2-3 days. I apply this before I go to sleep on my forehead where most of my acne appears and on any spots. I think that this is the best acne treatment I've used.


Now that my face is sorted, it's time to sort out my lips. I use the lush bubblegum lip scrub to remove all the dead skin cells. This lip scrub tastes amazing and works wonders for my lips. I won't be surprised if this tubs empty by the end of this month. 


Now it's time to moisturise those lips. I use the eos lip balm in strawberry sorbet. This lipbalm smells really good and is very moisturising. It leaves my lips silky and smooth. If you don't own one of these then you should go out and get some. I got mine from America as a gift but you can purchase yours from amazon or selfridges. 

I hope you enjoyed reading my blog and I'll try to upload once a week.

Studying :(

Sorry I haven't posted in a while but that was because I had a lot of exams so I thought it would be appropriate to do a blog about some tips that might help you when you study. 

 
1) Turn off or hide all your electronics and distractions such as mobile phones,  laptops and the TV. This will allow you to focus more and prevent you from any distraction. 

2) Another great tip to studying is to use flash cards. This tip has helped me so much in the past. Take a flash card and write the word you need to remember. Then cut the corners off because this causes a lot of distraction.  On the back write the definition of the word. I love using flash cards especially coloured ones.  

3) Keep your study area tidy and organized. This will help you to get on with your work much easier. Put all pens and pencils in a jar or a pencil case. This  will prevent a lot of mess and clutter. I keep all my pens in this cute mini bucket from the pound store. 


That's all for today's blog and I'll make sure to be more active next time. <3
