Skincare I've Fallen Back in Love With

For some stupid reason, when I finished my last tube of La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo+ and pumped out the last bit of Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish I never re-purchased.  Last month, when my skin took a turn for the worst and my face was covered in painful blemishes I was all out of ideas for how to fix it, so I made an emergency order of these two products.

Skincare for Oily Acne-Prone Skin

I have oily, acne-prone skin, and I'm forever searching for the right products to use on my face morning and evening.  At the moment my skin seems pretty happy and I'm finally happy with my little routine.  My aims are to make sure my skin is clean without being stripped, hydrated without increasing sebum production and I want to treat breakouts and fade acne scars without drying out my skin.

Origins Clear Improvement Face Mask

You know there's always that one product that sits in your wishlist but you never get around to buying? This is that product for me.  I honestly think it was on a list in my phone for three years, but I never purchased it until now.  The Origins Clear Improvement mask is a charcoal mask targeted at clearing out pores which I've read is pretty impressive on oily skin.  Last month I came across this little pack of 4 sachets of mask for £5 on Feel Unique and I couldn't resist giving it a shot.

How I Remove My Make-up

So often I talk about the make up I put on my face every day, but I never talk about how I remove it.  After switching products over and over again for years, I've finally found a few products that really work for my skin.

Liz Earle Superskin Concentrate

Say hello to my little skin saviour.  After reading endless raves about various facial oils I decided to bite the bullet and brave putting oil on my oily skin.  I've loved every product I've tried from Liz Earle, so I thought this was the safest bet.  Six weeks later it's the best move I ever made.

Liz Earle Instant Radiance Collection for Oily/Combination Skin

After bringing Liz Earle's classic Cleanse and Polish back into my skincare routine after Christmas, I've fallen back in love with her skincare.  I can't get enough of the scent!  When I spotted this Instant Radience Collection in John Lewis for £25 I had to snap it up.

Indeed Labs Hydraluron

At the end of 2013 I finally gave in to the hype and purchased a tube of Indeed Labs Hydraluron.  After reading so many good reviews of it in the blogosphere I had to give it a shot.  The ethos of Indeed Labs is to eliminate all marketing hype around skincare and provide value-for-money effective skin treatments - sounds good to me!

Evening Skincare Routine for Oily Acne-Prone Skin

Simple Purifying Cleansing Lotion, La Roche Posay Physiological Cleansing Gel, La Roche Posay Effaclar Micro Exfoliant, Duac Gel, La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo, Blistex Medplus, Blistex Intensive Moisturiser

I've developed a real love for skincare recently, I'm set on finding the perfect routine to keep my skin looking healthy and glowing.  For reference, I have oily skin with some acne scarring and relatively regular blemishes.  It is a lot better at the moment than it has been in years, and although I am now confident enough to occasionally venture out of the house with a lighter coverage foundation or BB cream, I'm not quite ready to go makeup-less.  These are the products I'm using in the evenings to look after my skin before bed.

La Roche Posay Skincare for Oily Acne-Prone Skin

I am forever searching for my ideal skincare routine, and with the help of La Roche Posay I just might have found it!  I have suffered with bad skin for the last seven or eight years, and 2013 had been a bad skin year until about six weeks ago.  I decided to completely re-work my skincare routine, as what I was using obviously wasn't doing my any favours.  After spending an insane amount of time trawling Boots, searching the internet and reading an endless amount of advice from Caroline Hirons, I decided on La Roche Posay skincare - mainly the Effeclar range which is formulated for oily and spot-prone skin. I'm currently using three products from La Roche Posay, but I'm fancying the micellar water and toner.
