Cleanser
I've been using the Superfacialist by Una Brenna Tea Flower Purifying Cleansing Wash.




Available from Boots for £7.99 


It's a gel formula that slightly foams with water. I find it does a great job of removing makeup and leaves my face feeling super clean afterwards. It's done a great job of clearing up my skin only last week I commited the cardinal sin of falling asleep with my makeup on. Boy, am I paying for it now but I have no doubt this cleanser will have my skin in tip-top shape in no time.

2nd Cleanser
My next step in my routine is the No 7 Hot Cloth Cleanser. This is my favourite step. It feels so luxurious and creamy when I apply it then I take the cloth provided, run it under the hot tap and just press over my face before lightly buffing it off in circular motions.

I find this helps restore some moisture back into my skin after using the Tea Flower cleanser leaving it soft and supple. I use these both morning and night.

Exfoliator
I'm awful at remembering this step. I always think the hot cloth will be enough but on those days where I need a little extra I've been using a sample of the Origins Modern Friction.


Available from boots for £31.00

I try to use this once a week but it isn't harsh at all. It goes on quite creamy even with the little rice starch particles. The only problem i've had with this is it hurts if you get it up your nose....

Daily Moisturiser
I've been using the Superfacialist by Una Brennan Rose Hydrate Radiance day cream. It smells absolutely divine. I'm a big fan of floral scents so steer clear if you're not.



Available from Boots for £12.99

It takes a while to sink in, but claims to be the perfect base for makeup. It's a really lovely moisturiser with the added bonus of SPF 15.

Night Time Face Oil
Since Christmas I've been using the Clarins Lotus Facial Oil. Two drops is all you need and I simply press this into my skin after cleansing and go straight to bed. In the morning my skins feels perfectly balanced.

Available from Clarins for £29.00

I read that this oil helps blemishes to heal faster, I have to say I'm not having much luck on that front. While my skin hasn't had any new spots I'm finding that old blemishes are still taking a long time to heal.


That's it guys. Thanks for reading -X.
