My simple skin care

Hello all today i would like to go through my skincare routine for both morning and evening. This will probably be the simplest routine you have seen but it works for me, especially my morning cleansing routine as it has not changed in years!
I would also like to say by no way am i a professional when it comes to skincare i just know what i like and as i said it works for me.

Ok lets get started so i prefer to have more time in bed so my morning skin care "routine" is not very in-depth, first things first i get a flannel (face cloth) soak it with hot water ring it out and wipe it all over my face, wiping away anything from my face and it also gives my face a little exfoliate, after that i put a small amount of No7 advanced perfect and perfect serum on my face leave this for a few seconds to soak in and do its thing then i apply my Vichy Aqualia Thermal Riche moisturising cream all over my face and down my neck, we must not forget the neck area! Now for eyes i dab my ring finger into my Clinique all about eyes eye cream and apply this gently around my upper and lower eye area. Then i leave my face alone for 10 minutes or so whilst doing other bits before i start my make up and the only other product i use is my Caludalie beauty elixir face spray and i use this after all my makeup is done to set it, it works wonders and my makeup last all day! And thats it, simple I'm done for the day and I'm off to do a hard days work ;) Also throughout the day i will either apply Elizabeth Arden Eight hour cream or Carmex to my lips. I can really suffer with my lips especially in winter times so both these products do a great job and to make sure my lips don't get too used to one product and it stops working i swap it around every so often.

My morning products


So I'm now home from work and getting ready for bed, now this is where i really swap things around just depending on my mood. Firstly makeup removal so these are my options for eye makeup removal before i get into the shower - Loreal skin perfection 3 in 1 purifying micellar solution or
No7 Beautiful Skin eye make up remover i love both these products but i do find the No7 one leaves a small kind of greasy residue around my eyes but nothing i can't live with. I just put a small amount of either onto 2 cotton wool pads and hold these on my eyes for around 30 seconds then rub gently to remove any excess off my eyes. Now once in the shower i either use my Clinique take off the day cleansing balm or Loreal skin perfection miracle cleansing oil to take of the rest of my make now if i can't be bothered to do the separate taking off of my eye make up i will just use my shower products on my eyes to do my whole cleansing routine. I get a small amount of either product in my hands and rub together then apply to my face massaging it in i then get my flannel run it under the running water ring it out and remove all the makeup and grime from the day.  Once or twice a week i will also use a face scrub either No7 Total Renewal or Clinique 7 day scrub cream again depending on my mood.
Now if I'm going to be very naughty i will just use No7 Beautiful Skin quick thinking wipes to remove my makeup but this only happens after a night out and I'm to tired to do anything else so not very often.
Once all clean i apply the same Vichy moisturiser as i do in the morning for my night time cream maybe just a little more of it and again a little lip balm and as naughty as you may think that is i don't use anything else on my face at night, no serum, no eye cream I'm just a little to lazy to do anything else.

My night time products (don't worry i don't use all these that would be a little OTT)
And thats it, i may occasionally try something new but these have been the products I've used for some time now and i tend to get them all from Boots as i love the offers they do and adding up my points to treat myself.

See you soon
Jinny xx
