My Skincare Routine for Sensitive Skin

My skin can be very temperamental at times and this can get very annoying. My skin is mostly  combination/oily/dry and i have found it a real problem in tackling this. I am also very prone to breakouts. In this post i am going to share with you what i use on my skin in the morning and what i use on it at night. I am by no means an expert when it comes to sensitive skin but over the years i have tried so many different products that haven't worked, it is only recently that i now have control over my skin and is the best it has ever been! This is just an insight in to what i use on my skin in the morning and at night and what i use for sensitive skin.

Every morning when i wake up in the morning i wash my face with cold water, this makes my skin wake up and also leaves my skin with a glow. I then use Simple Regeneration Age Resisting Day Cream. I love this moisturiser as its super moisturising and also has SPF 15 in it. This cream also has green tea goodness in it which i love. It isn't heavy and soaks right in to my skin. I then use Simple Kind To Eyes Revitalising Eye Roll-On. This helps to make my eyes feel so much more frefreshed and also helps with puffiness as my eyes tend to be quite dry and itchy in the morning. It helps to cool down the eye area and helps to sooth it.  After i have used these two products i then apply my make up. 

Before i go to bed i make sure that my skin is nice and clean as its very important that you don't go to bed with your make up on. Firstly i use Simple Kind To Eyes Eye Make-up Remover. Im being 100% honest when i say this, but this is most definitely the best eye make up remover i have ever used. Its kind to eyes and is very gentle on the delicate skin around the eye area. It makes my eyes feel nice and refreshed. This also gets rid of waterproof mascara and eyeliner. Next i use Simple Purifying Cleansing Lotion. This is amazing at getting rid of make up.

Next i like to splash my skin with cold water then i use Simple Soothing Facial Toner. This is so refreshing on the skin and lets my skin breathe. After i use the toner i like to apply Kind To Eyes Soothing Eye Balm. This is very moisturising on the skin around the eyes. Then finally i use Simple Vital Vitamin Night Cream. This cream leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturised.  

Since using these products i have noticed a huge difference in the appearance of my skin and i am pleased with the results. My breakouts have cleared up, my skin looks moisturised, my skin is not as oily anymore. What i love most about the Simple skincare routine is how gentle their products are on your skin and that there isn't anything bad in these and are very kind to your skin. 

Beauty: My Skin Care Tips

 

I thought I would share with you my skin care tips.

In the past I neglected my skin and it is only in the last few years that I feel my skin is at its best.

I feel that diet and keeping yourself healthy plays a huge part in how your skin is.

 

Diet

 

Since I have cut out all the crap (to put it bluntly) I have noticed how much better my skin looks and feels. Now i'm not telling everyone to do this, as it is not for everyone, but I myself have cut out dairy from my diet, i have also cut out fried and roasted foods. No more takeaways for me!

The key is if you do not want to cut out these foods together then you just need to have smaller amounts of these tyoes of foods.

After all 'You are what you eat.'

Im not a skincare expert in any way, but though years of experience and trial and error, i now know what works for me in order to keep my skin at its best.

Another thing in which i found works well for keeping my skin healthy are herbal teas. This ca also include fruit teas. After drinking these for a little while i noticed how beneficial they are for the skin as frrom drinking these my eczema on my arms and legs just went! I knew it was the herbal teas that did because i left drinking them off for about a week and my eczema came back!

It might be hard to  believe as i though nothing would get rid of it on my skin after years of having it, but it's the truth, it really worked!



 

 

Antioxidant-rich foods can also have a major positive effect on your skin's health and appearance.

Eating fish can help help skin, I also have one cod liver oil capsule every night before bed. I have noticed a real difference since taking the cod liver oil, and my hair is a lot healthier too.

Apples, Avocados, Bananas, Blackberries and Blueberries are great for the skin.

 

Health

Keeping yourself healthy also plays a key part in keeping your skin looking good.

Since i have started going to the gym i have noticed how much fresher my skin looks and it also has a glow to it afterwards. When you increase the blood flow, exercise helps to nourish the skin cells and keep them vital. The blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the working cells throughout the body, including the skin.

 

After i go swimming i like to go in the steam room and sauna. The steam room is great for your skin.

The Steam Room

'Among the many steam room benefits is detoxification. A steam session capitalizes on the body’s ability to sweat toxins away. With the average body containing more than 2.5 million sweat glands, the cumulative effect of sweating is a 30% reduction in the toxins that have built up inside the body. It is an effortless and practical way to detox, and with a greater degree of effectiveness.'

 

The Sauna

'The heat of the sauna relaxes the body, improves circulation and stimulates the release of endorphins—the body’s natural feel good chemical—providing a wonderful after sauna glow.

When deep sweating occurs, the skin is cleansed and dead skin cells are replaced, keeping your skin in good working condition.'

 

I always feel really relaxed after going in both of these.

 

Skin Care Products

 

I do love my skin Care products and I love to try new products, but i feel while these do help to keep your skin looking nice and helps from breakouts, i feel the real results for me have come from diet and keping my healthy. For facial skin care products i love The Body Shop, Sanctuary and vitamin E products from Boots. I think for your skin to be at it's best you need to combine diet and health as well as your skin care products. For my body i love to use natural body washes such as Original Source, i love their products. I dont like to use anything that is going to be harsh as my skin wont thank me for it!

A lot of products today have different harsh ingredients in and this really is not good for your skin.

I also really love the Simple range as they have some great products. I love their facial toner.

 

 

 

I love the products in which they brought out which have green tea in them.
