If you're a skincare fanatic like me then you are constantly on the hunt for new products that not only work but simplify your daily routine. Olay have released their 'daily facials' a 5-in-1 cleanser that can be used just to cleanse your face in the morning or at night and can be used to remove makeup. Here's my little review on how to use them and why I'm loving them. 

How to use: 

Just like its mentioned on the box all you have to do is wet the cloth which essentially looks like your regular makeup wipe but has little holes. You simply run it under a tap, I like using warm water, then scrunch it a little and allow it to lather up and then start cleansing your face. 

What I like about the 'Olay 5-in-1 Daily Facials': 

- They are incredibly easy to use 

- Removes makeup gently 

- Leaves my face feeling soft and hydrated

- Scented but not overbearing or irritative 

- Perfect sized cloth for cleansing 

- In-home spa treatment for your face 

These are my go-to products when it comes to maintaining healthy skin while also targeting problem areas. Taking care and I mean actual care of your skin i.e. having a routine is vital. With that being said there is only so much you can do to the overall external appearance of your skin yet a slight change in your water intake or your diet has a noticeable impact. 

Bio oil 

If you guys have been following my skincare routine for a while then you know I am constantly on the hunt for new products that could potentially be part of my skincare routine. Oils or serums are a must in prepping my skin for moisturiser and makeup. Previously I was using the Vitamin E oil from the BodyShop and fell in love with how it improved the appearance of my skin but after finishing it I quickly found an alternative. Not only is bio oil moisturising, it also fades acne scars overtime and leaves the skin feeling plump and not greasy or heavy. It is incredibly lightweight and you only need the smallest amount. 

Aloe vera gel | PraNaturals 

Aloe vera gel has more purposes that I can count on both my hands but here's a few things I like to use it on: my face for reducing redness as well as inflammatory skin as well as my arms and legs after I've shaved to prevent any irritation. People tend to also use it as a moisturiser but as someone whose skin is heavily accustomed to thicker moisturisers it simply does not make the cut. 

 Effaclar duo+ | La Roche posay

Again, I have typed on and on about this product and the quick yet effective impact it has on my skin when it is particularly spot-prone. I have no idea as to what is in this but it works regardless, I love putting a little on after moisturiser in the morning or just before I'm winding down for the day and getting ready for bed. 

I can't stress how important it is to take care of your skin, especially during the colder months where your skin has the tendency to become a little dehydrated. I did a similar blog post last year on skincare products I simply cannot live without during winter but this time I've focused mainly on the face and have switched up the products I use. 

+ The BodyShop Vitamin E Overnight Serum In-Oil 

Yes I know that this is an overnight oil, but I love using this on my face before moisturiser and before makeup just to really hydrate my skin. Personally I find this too thick for an overnight serum but it works wonders.

+ Nivea Creme & The BodyShop Vitamin E moisturiser

I switch it up depending on how I'm feeling on a particular morning, the Nivea creme is a lot more thicker and ideal for dry skin. The BodyShop one is a lot more lighter and more mousse-like so when I'm having a good skin day I like reaching for this one. 

+ La Roche Posay Sensitive Cream & Eye cream & Vaseline 

I recently got these samples through the post and was a little baffled at first simply because the instructions were in French. Once I had Google translated them I started using them, I use a small amount of the Sensitive cream on any red areas and then the eye cream under my eyes. I then use a little Vaseline on my lips. 

+ Rose water facial spray 

This is probably my favourite bit of my skin care routine which is drenching my face in Rose water, it's just so refreshing! It also makes my makeup look super dewy when I spray a little after doing my makeup.
