Normally I will eat a good balance of healthy home cooked meals, chocolate and takeaways but if I have more chocolate or too many takeaways I will notice it in my skin because I will just break-out pretty quickly!
Also when I'm at school I do quite a substantial amount on exercise because I do dance 5-6 times a week and I also do one lesson of fitness at school every week, so usually when I go on school holidays within the first week or so my skin again just breaks-out!
Another thing that has a huge impact on my skin is my sleep pattern, at school I usually try to go to sleep between 10:30 and 11pm which gives me 8 hours sleep, but if I start going to bed later and don't get 8 hours sleep my skin goes quite dry and eventually, yep you guessed it, I break-out!
But I don't think keeping these 3 things balanced is enough to have clear hydrated skin, so I have a skin care routine which I have decided to show you:
1. Garnier Pure Active Intensive
I use this every other day in the shower and just rub it into my skin then rinse my face. This is the cleanser I am currently using, I try out loads of different cleansers but this has been my favorite so far. I bought it from the supermarket for just under £5. I feel like as soon as I start rubbing it into my skin I can feel it instantly working. Also another great thing about it is that you don't need to squirt much out to feel it working.
2. Vitamin E Hydrating Toner
I use this after I have been in the shower, I just dab a bit onto a cotton pad and wipe it all over my face. I have been using the Vitamin E range from The Body Shop for a few years now and I love it so much! I can really feel it hydrating my skin and again I use this every other day. The toner on it's own £8.50
3. Vitamin E Moisture Cream
I use this after the toner has dried and put on a generous amount so that it can sink into my skin slowly. Again this is from the Vitamin E range from The Body Shop and I have been using the moisturiser a bit longer than the toner. The moisturiser on it's own is £11. Recently I have been getting the set which includes the vitamin E cleanser (which I don't actually use), toner, moisture cream and night serum which I have no idea how much that costs but I usually get one for Christmas and one for my birthday.
I hope you found this interesting and maybe helpful if you were looking for a new skin care routine?
If anyone has any skin care tips please feel free to comment!
