I’m officially on the countdown to 30 now after celebrating my 29th birthday a couple of weeks ago so I figured it’s about time to get my shiz in order!
I’ve really been making a very conscious effort to be better when it comes to a skincare routine as I was determined to have it cracked by the time baby arrives.. there have been odd fails along the way but I’m slowly getting better! I’ve been making sure I remove my make up properly instead of micellar water and cotton wool. The problem is I get lazy! I’ve done better on that front but I’m yet to crack the twice a day cleansing routine.
Here’s some of the products I have been using though...
I’ve had these nip and fab cleansing pads in my stash for a while and figured I would crack them open and give them a try. Even though my bedroom is right next to my bathroom I’m normally lazy as I say when it comes to cleansing my skin properly so these are a great alternative. I’ve been tending to use them more in the evening as I do tend to use the Clinique mild face wash in the morning and if I’m feeling completely on it then I use my Clinique face brush too!
The toner is one I had seen pop up on my Instagram feed and then spotted in my local boots (which I was shocked about as I thought it was just online). Your good skin has lots of trusty celeb followers and lovers and is a great affordable brand! I picked this up after my Clinique 3 step toner started reaching the bottom and I’ve been really enjoying it so far!
For a bit of moisture I’ve been using the No7 protect and perfect intense creams that I picked up in the set I got as the star gift just before Christmas. I since found out No7 do a range more suitable for my age range (The early defence range suitable for up to 35) however I’ve been enjoying this never the less. Pregnancy has made my skin quite dry so the extra moisture in these has been helping and a little bit goes a long way. The protect and perfect range is designed for 30-45 years anyway so really I’m not too far behind.. I can get a bit ahead of the game.
A couple of times a week I go on with the keihls midnight oil which I picked up on the plane when we went to Orlando a couple of years ago and because I don’t use it much it is lasting ages. I tend to do this after I’ve done a face mask (my favourite at the mo is in my January favourites post) which I’ve been doing at least once a week as a pamper pick me up.
And at the moment that is it! I really want to explore my skin a bit more and learn about what proper routine I should follow to look after it so any tips I find I will be sure to share!
I’m going to do this post again in a few months.. maybe after baby is due to update you on what I am enjoying and how it’s all going!
