Skincare routine

Okay, so since I hit puberty, I've had really shitty combination skin. I tried all the typical stuff like clean & clear and clearasil etc., but it didnt work for me, partly because they dried my skin out insanely badly, and partly because I just couldnt stick to the whole cleanse, tone, moisturise routine, so for ages I've been being stupidly lazy and just been using face wipes before I go to bed (terrible I know).
Luckily, after listening to me bitch about how much I hate my skin, a girl at school recommended some products to me, and I've actually been trying to stick with them. So, here I am passing on the knowledge.
The products are mostly from the Body Shop, which is kinda awesome 'cause I've got one of those reward card thingies. So. Number 1.



1.Vitamin E Cream Cleanser.
This actually made me break out in the first week, but stick with it 'cause it gives great results. Not trying to sound big headed, but skin = glowing.
Plus it's only £2.50 and it's lasting ages.

2. Rose Water
This was the best thing she recommended. Use it as a toner and it works amazingly. Plus it's way cheaper than any skin product, and you can get it from any supermarket really.
3. Vitamin E Moisture Cream. (Also, the nourishing night cream, not pictured)I was really worried this was going to moisturise my skin too much, especially as it's targeted towards older women. But it works well and my skin feels nice and soft.






So yeah. This has definitely been helping me out a lot, and I am SO GRATEFUL for the friend who recommended these. Just thought I'd upload them for anyone else that wants to shake up their facial care routine a bit. Just a warning though, at first, these products caused me to break out really badly, so if anyone experiences this just stick with it, because once it cleared up my skin looked great. Also, obviously, just because products work or don't work on my skin doesn't mean they'll be the same for everybody, but I genuinely think that most people will love this stuff and get really good results!
