MY EVERYDAY SKINCARE ROUTINE




So recently, I've found my perfect skincare routine that really works for me. I have dry/sensitive/spot prone skin, and I've always struggled with finding products that don't aggravate or cause more problems for my skin. Over the past year I've been trying out endless products, from high end to drug store, and these are my top four products...






The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Oil. 

I use this product to take my make up off every day. It's so gentle on the skin, but it removes every single bit of make up off my face and makes my skin feel so clean and soft. It even manages to remove waterproof mascara! It smells amazing and it's not super expensive, I can't imagine my skin care routine without it. 


Una Brennan Salicylic Acid Cleansing Wash. 

I heard so much about the Una Brennan range in the blogging world and I was so eager to try her stuff out, as I know the products are targeted to spot prone skin. I use this product about 3 times a week after I cleanse my skin. It does feel like the product really gives my skin a deep cleanse and gets all the dirt and impurities out. If I use this product too many times in a week, it does dry my skin out. But overall I do feel like this product has helped improve my skins overall appearance. 


Rosehip Facial Oil. 

I have family that live in Somerset, and the nearest village to them has so many lovely little boutiques. One of them is called 'Herbs on the hill' which is so similar to Lush. I've heard that Rosehip Oil is amazing for spot prone skin, making your skins texture a lot smoother and helping hyper pigmentation. There is a lot of hype around the Liz Earle SuperSkin Concentrate Oil which contains Rose Hip Oil, so I thought I'd give pure Rose Hip Oil a go! I put it on after my serum, and it feels incredible on my skin. After about 3/4 days of using it I started to notice a difference on my skin, the texture of it was smoother and any spots I had started to fade. 


Indeed Labs Pepta Bright 

I heard about this product from one of my favourite bloggers 'thepersianbabe' as she also has problem skin. Whenever I have a spot, I put a little bit of this on overnight and then the next day it would have faded a significant amount. I can't imagine now being without this product as it's helped my skin so much!

SUNNY DAY IN CAMBRIDGE




Last weekend I got the chance to spend the day in Cambridge and explore as I have never been before. It was probably one of the most 'typically english' places I've ever been to, and what I mean by that is that there were loads of lovely little boutiques selling art, clothing and jewellery, pubs that were full of people drinking pimms and eating fish and chips and adorable little ice cream stands. 

The weather in the UK has been pretty good at the moment, so I have actually been able to wear some summer clothes. To be honest, my wardrobe isn't particularly summery, and doesn't often feature much colour.. 

My outfit is pretty simple, but great to wear as something comfy and cool on a warmer day. I do feel that you need a pair of birkenstocks or birkenstock dupes (like mine), they are a must for summer. They are the comfiest shoes I own, and it's all I have been wearing recently. 

WHAT I WORE:
Top - Topshop
Skirt - Zara
Shoes - H&M
Bag - River Island 
Sunglasses - Urban Outfitters
Necklace - New Look
