How i have transformed my skin!

Ever since i can remember my face has been an oily mess! I always used to cleanse my face but it was only really these past couple of years that i have really started to look after my skin and last year found some products that have saved and transformed my skin! 

This is the routine i have been using to control the oils so this is excluding looking after my under eyes. 

Cleansers

In the morning i like to give my skin a quick cleanse to remove any dirt or oils from the face during the night, my favourites for doing this is the glossier milky jelly cleanser or the Mario badescu enzyme cleansing gel, they both make my skin feel squeaky clean and is a good clean base for the rest of the skincare and makeup.

In the evening i like to remove my makeup with the liz earle hot cloth cleanser so i know every trace of makeup is removed and then to go in with a second cleanse with a product that is designed to help clean my oily skin, the one i love using at this moment is the first aid beauty skin rescue deep cleanser with red clay. Least i know with these steps my skin is clean and ready for the next steps.

Serums

So as you know i have oily skin but also dehydrated so there is two types of serums i use. Both the brands i use i love so we use the ordinary and glossier. In the morning before applying makeup i prefer to use serums to stop the oils coming through so i use niacinamide serums. In the evening i like to use hyaluronic acid to help hydrate my skin overnight.

Moisturisers 

I own quite a few different moisturisers which i love and all do different things in their own way. The loreal hydra genius aloe water in the oily skin formula i discovered last year and fell in love instantly its so hydrating and the scent is heavenly. So i mix this in with the first aid beauty oil free mattifying gel so i get hydration and oil control. They make an amazing combo and this gel helps control my oils through my makeup so much. Then my newest love is the ordinary natural moisturising factors i use this in the evening as it is slightly thicker and just sinks in the skin beautifully overnight and wake up feeling baby soft.

Treatments

I am incredibly lucky with my skin i have never majorly suffered with spots just always getting the odd one like we all do. So as soon as i get one i want it off my face and both these products help to settle them down and disappear, i use the ordianry salicylic acid in the morning applying over the blemishes to help calm them down, then in the evening i apply a dab of the Mario Badescu drying lotion which is an amazing product! I literally wake up the next morning with the blemish half the size from the night before. 

Since i have been sticking to this routine my makeup has been lasting all day with hardly any oil leakage coming through. 

Let me know what products work for you?
