With the changing weather, skin conditions change too, and with changing skin conditions, comes changing skin care!
I have dry, sometimes flaky skin, and also have Psoriasis. In the Winter, my skin like other peoples' gets drier and so I change my skin care a bit to try and make it more moisturised and soft!
So, first of all I start with face wipes, I don't have any particular favourite when it comes to these, I just pick up whatever, at the moment I am using Primark's PS. Love Your Skin wipes for sensitive skin. I try to take most of my make up off with these.
I then cleanse using The Body Shop's Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter. I love this stuff, I think I bought it after Amelia from LianaBeauty and Gabby from Velvet Gh0st recommended it. This is my second tin of it, and I don't re-purchase things often (actually thinking about it, nearly all of my repurchases are Body Shop). I rub this together in my hands and then rub it in circular movements all over my face and rinse it off with hot water. Now I know that all of my makeup is off and my skin is cleansed.
After cleansing I would either go straight to moisturising, or applying a face mask, which I do around 2 times a week. I use The Body Shop Honey and Oat 3 in 1 Scrub Mask when I want to use a face mask. This is for normal/dry skin. I apply it wherever my skin gets dry and flaky, which is mainly my nose, forehead and around my mouth. I leave this on for about 10-15 minutes and then wash it off with with warm water. I will normally apply a lip butter at this time as well, at the moment I am using The Body Shop's Pink Grapefruit one.
(I know this seems a little bit Body Shop heavy, but this is just because these are my favourite skin care products at the moment. I bought these products with my own money, and the opinions on these products are my own).
Finally, I moisturise with Nivea Soft Moisturising Cream, which is a nice, affordable product which I have used on and off since I was a teenager.
And that is my skin care routine! My skin definitely feels less dehydrated and tight now that I have started this routine, and it is nice and soft too!
Ciao for now x
