My Skin Care Routine 

(For Oily Skin)

I truly love taking care of my skin! I feel like the better your skin looks the less makeup you need to wear, I take my skincare routine very seriously and rarely ever change it however I do like to try new products every now and then. I have very oily skin so its obviously important for me to keep it as dry and oil free as possible to insure I get less breakouts.

Morning

Firstly and most importantly I wash my face first thing in the morning it doesn't only wake you up it also leaves your skin feeling fresh and ready to apply makeup, the one I find really effective is the Seaweed Deep Cleansing Facial Wash from the body shop this retails at about £8. I highly recommend it if you suffer from oily skin. Its a very easy product to use and has really helped my skin clear up.

Secondly, Bio-oil for me has been a very new discovery, and I love this product so much, I heard allot of talk about it on the internet. If you are unfamiliar with Bio-Oil its basically for reducing the appearance of scars, stretch marks, uneven skin tones, ageing skin and dehydrated skin in my case I use it for acne scars, you use this product for a minimum of 3 months to notice a difference however you have to use this product religiously, you can't just use it once or twice a week and expect to see results, it has to be used twice a day for a minimum of 3 months. It works really well with my skin and surprisingly doesn't cause breakouts, it also doubles as a moisturiser (for me) so I don't have to bother with any thing else once this is applied however the only downside to this product is that it take a while to dry, meaning you can not apply your makeup right away not until the oil is completely absorbed into the skin. It comes in 3 different sizes to chose from and retails between £8.99 to £19.99 (depending on the size)

 And Finally a body moisturiser the Vaseline Spray and Go. This product is a very new discovery for me but I really like it. You spray it onto your body and rub it in and your done, its very quick and easy to use especially if your in a hurry. It dry's up very easily and smells really good. This is super affordable and retails at £3.99 I haven't used this product long enough to do a full review but I will let you know what I think of it.

Night

I use both these products in the morning as well as at night. The Seaweed Deep Cleansing Facial Wash is very good at getting rid of any makeup and really does wonders for your skin, I can not stress this enough using just makeup wipes is not enough! you really need to wash your face to insure all the makeup is off and you have a fresh face. The Bio-Oil has to be used twice a day to be able to see good results.

And Finally Differin, this product is amazing at drying out your skin and preventing acne, its sadly a superscription cream. This product is only given to people who have pretty bad acne not just a few spots, its what most doctors use before referring you to the hospital to try Roaccutane, Roaccutane is a very dangerous medication and they only subscribe this as a last resort. I was on Roaccutan for 8 months and it comes with many side effects. This cream is very much like the drug, obviously Roaccutane is much stronger considering it goes straight into your system. 

Okay that is it for my skin care routine I really hoped you enjoyed it and I also hope it helped you somehow. This weekend (in 6 days!) I'm going to see Taylor Swift live at the O2 arena in London so I might not be able to write a blog post however the following weekend I will be doing a full review of the concert!.
