My skin care routine is pretty basic. These are the products that I am currently using for my skin. I have normal to dry skin however during the winter I have to take 'little' extra care of my skin because it tends to get really dry especially around my nose area. I wouldn't say my skin is acne prone but I do get occasional spots (mostly due to lack of sleep, stress AND that time of the month ¬_¬).
Simple eye make up remover: £3.39
I start my skin care routine by removing my eye make up first.This product removes absolutely ALL of my eye make up including waterproof mascara. My eye area has never felt so clean after using an eye makeup remover
before, and it also doesn't give me the momentary foggy vision that some
oil-based removers can leave behind.

B. pure micellar water: £4.99
Having never tried any of the B. products before, I didn’t know what to expect – but, I was pleasantly surprised when I tried this product out. It does a really good job to get rid of all my make up. It says its a '3 in 1 super water' meaning it cleanses, tones and refreshes. In addition, it says there's no need to rinse, however I find that it leaves that sticky feeling behind after wiping which I don't like. Therefore, after wiping my face with this, I always wash my face with a face wash as well.
Simple wipes: £3.99
When I am feeling really lazy to do the process above ^, I just use these wipes to take off all my make up. These wipes hands down are the best wipes I have ever tried. It takes off all my make up including waterproof mascara which is a plus because they can be a pain to get rid off. Also it doesn't sting my skin because a lot of wipes that I've tried tend to leave my skin feeling really irritated and just feels really rough. This is great when you wanna just feel fresh and put some moisture in your face plus its only £3.99.

Clarisonic Mia: £99
I have been using clarisonic mia for just over 6 months now and it has REALLY improved my skin so much. I had heard a lot about this product before from Youtube beauty gurus and I really wanted to try it out but I just didn't want to spend £99 on a cleansing brush. But my sister wanted to try this product out aswell so she bought it which meant I could try it out and didn't have to pay for it muhaha (We each have separate brush heads btw). I only use this at night after I have removed my make up. I do 30 seconds on the left face and 30 secs on the right face in a circular motion gently. It gets rid of all the dirt on my face aswell as the last traces of make up left on my face which hasn't been removed by the wipes/cleansing water.
At first when I started using it I literally broke out so much and I just thought that this product was just a waste of money but then my sister told me maybe its because its getting rid of all the dirt on your face and that's why your breaking out. So I decided to just listen to her and continued using it and after 4 to 5 days my skin was back to normal and started noticing that my face felt a lot more clean and smooth. The only down side I have with this product is that if you miss a day of using it then the next day you use it you will break out so my advice would be to not be lazy and use it everyday.

The body shop tea tree facial wash:£5.00
I like to switch up my face wash from time to time. The one that I am loving right now is the body shop tea tree. It doesn't leave my skin dry and I use this at night. I have used this for 2 months now and I am just half way. For the price, you get a lot.

Vitamin E gentle facial wash: £8.00
This face wash smells so LUSH. It feels like your applying a moisturizer cream and doesn't feel sticky at all. I would really recommend this product if you have really dry skin because its not to harsh on yr skin and has a smooth texture which is perfect for dry skin.

Spawellness:
My friend got me this exfoliator from hongkong and I love it so much. It gets rid of all the dead skin on my face and i use before applying my body shop mask. I cant find this product anywhere not even online :( sucks.
Blue corn mask: £10.00
When my skin is breaking out I use this deep cleansing mask. I keep it on for 15 min and rinse it off with water. It leaves my skin feeling smooth, brighter and also calms my blemish down. I have used this product for 4 months now and the tub is still pretty full.

E45 cream: £6.99
OMG this product is my holy-grail. I use this on the areas that are very dry. I just take a pea amount and dab it on to the area that's dry and slowly massage it. It gets rid of the dry flakes and leaves my skin smooth. I was recommended this product by my friend to try it out and boy am i glad i did. It lasted me i would say just over a year. If you guys tend to get dry patches around your nose or mouth or anywhere i would really recommend you to try this product out.

Lancome toner:£22
This product was such a let down and waste of money. I used this toner after cleansing my face with the no7 cleanser and applied this toner using a cotton pad gently dabbing it onto my skin.To be honest this did nothing to my skin. After using it for 1-2 weeks i didn't really notice any difference it had done to my skin. I wouldn't purchase this item again and i am only using it right now because i don't want to waste the product.
