My Updated Skincare Routine

My Skincare Routine

Consists of cleanser, exfoliant, balancing lotion, serum and moisturiser oh and my eye balm. I have been using Go-To by Zoe Foster Blake for the last couple of months but I find my skin is just to use to it and I was told by my beautician to pick with the Ella Baché Cleanser. So I am now at the tail end of the Go-To skincare and ready to move back to Ella Baché skincare.

The cleanser I use from Ella Baché is the Savon Adoucissant it is for people who have "normal to oily and sensitive skin" This cleanser is lovely, I love the scent of it and it is simple to use. I use about half a pump and rub my hands together then I cleanse my face, neck and chest. Then I rinse with lukewarm water and use a hand towel to dry my face.

At least once a week I exfoliate my face and I use Gommage Revelateur Enzymes De Fruits, it is a lovely exfoliant and you mix the powder up with some water then apply it to your face, neck and chest. Once the mixture is applied you do need to keep your face wet I have been told, leave the mixture on for "two minutes for sensitive skin, five minutes for normal skin and eight minutes for resilient skin". It leaves my skin feeling smooth and beautiful.

The Balancing Lotion is awesome for people with oily skin, I use this every second day and I do it before bed as I don't have enough time in the morning to apply the lotion. With the balancing lotion I use five cotton makeup pads, I run the cotton pads under a little bit of water and then place on top of the container and press down then the lotion comes up and onto the pad. I then apply the pad to my face and it reduces the oil on my face, I can honestly say my face feels fresh after using the balancing lotion.

Next I use the Serum Marin it is a strengthening serum. I use this serum every morning and every night, the serum helps to "even skin tone and visibly reduce redness". I have been using this serum for a few months now and my skin feels better in a way and I am sure once I start using my other Ella Baché products the serum will help my skin feel and look better.

For moisturiser I use Sensibeautics Daily Resistance Cream for Sensitive Skin, the cream helps to reduce redness and feels beautiful on my skin. I use this cream every morning and every night, the only downside for me with this cream is it can get slimy on my face in the summer months but other than that I do love this cream.

My eye balm is not from Ella Baché it is from L'Occitane. The Immortelle Precious Eye Balm offers to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles appear reduced. I really enjoy using this eye balm and I do find it reduces my dark circles and that is a bonus in my book.

Now my skincare is not cheap by any means, I do have to purchase expensive skincare because my skin needs the good stuff but at the same time I don't mind because I know my skincare will help me look and feel good about myself.
