Skincare Shakeup

Way back when I wrote this skincare post. I never took much interest in skincare - mainly because I didn't understand. After watching many You Tube videos, it's still daunting but I feel much more educated. As my Clinique Skincare had run out I needed to make the decision of repurchasing or trying something new. Although I knew the Clinique stuff worked with my sensitive skin. I was eager to try some new stuff. As skincare is expensive it's been put on my Christmas list for Father Christmas!
Until then there's been a skincare shakeup in my cabinet. I don't have full opinions on these products yet as I've only just started using them!

Make Up Remover
The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil -  Amelia Liana raved about this product so I bought it and I love it. A little goes a long way and it seems to last for a very long time. It feels beautiful on the skin for removing make up. (It even takes off eye make up)
The Body Shop Camomile Waterproof Eye & Lip Make Up Remover - For eye make up that's a lot tougher to remove i.e waterproof mascara or a full on smokey eye this stuff is great! This is my second bottle.

Cleanser
REN Hot Cloth Cleanser - This product says it's suitable for all skin types. I had this little 30ml tube free with a magazine so I thought I'd give it a go.

Toner
La Roche Posay Soothing Toner - I haven't decided if this product will be too harsh for my skin. It does say suitable for sensitive skin so we shall see!
 
The Optional 'Other Step'
Boots Botanics Purifying Face Scrub All Bright - A scrub to use once or twice a week for a little skin pick me up.
Boots Botanics Radiance Concentrate Serum All Bright - I didn't really understand the purpose of a serum but I thought you can't knock something til you've tried it. This claims to brighten skin!
 
Eye Cream
Boots Botanics Hydrating Eye Cream - This eyecream is perfect for me! It's just a simple light and hydrating eye cream! I've started to realise the importance of eye cream. I find that my under eye concealer sits much better!!

Moisturizer
Clinique dramatically different moisturizer lotion+ - Something's never change. I love this moisturizer. It's so lightweight and doesn't have any bad effect on my skin!
 
Face Masks
These sanctuary sachet face masks are about £3 and I'm excited to try them out.
Sanctuary Spa 5 Minute Thermal Detox Mask
Sanctuary Moisture Boosting Mask
Sanctuary Spa Time Reversal Face Mask
 
 
I think skincare is worth the money, time and effort. You only get one skin so it's best to look after it as best as you can. I also feel a lot happier with my skin which has made me much more willing to go out bare faced! Woohoo!!!
