Before bed face routine.

Hi,

So after posting about my before primer routine I figured it was a good idea to post about my before bed face routine. Again like my before primer routine I like to use the same products consistently - for a time anyways.

These are some of the products I have been using lately before bed. 

1. Make-up removal

Before I shower I make sure to remove all of my make-up using Garnier's Micellar Cleansing Water.  This is obviously a very popular product for people to use, reviews everywhere you turn. I make a habit of showering before bed, therefore I use this product in conjunction with a proper face washing. It normally takes approximately four round make up pads to clean a face full of make-up off. It generally leaves my skin with a slightly oily feel - would not mind trying the new green Micellar water Garnier has brought out.

2. Face wash

The next step as stated above is using a face wash. I have for the last month been using Olay's Cream cleanser, but found it was quite soft and I decided to use it in the mornings as opposed to at night. So earlier in the week I swapped to Biores Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser. Once in the shower after I have thoroughly wet my face I apply the cleanser. I do this by squirting a good amount on my fingers, rubbing my finger tips together and then rubbing in circles all over my face. The product itself, as the name implies has a creamy texture which feels nice on both the fingertips and the face. After it has been thoroughly rubbed into my skin I rinse it off.. on days where I feel like my skin has taken a beating I repeat the process again.

3. Face scrub

Twice a week, on a Sunday and Wednesday night I use this  Olay skin smoothing cream scrub alongside the creme cleanser. I have recently added in using the Olay facial cleansing device to this routine - which I feel gives my pores a deeper clean.

4. Toner

This toner is not for the feint-hearted - it at times feels as if you're rubbing straight alcohol over your face which is not necessarily good for broken skin. I have one more bottle of this under my sink. I had been using this toner for the last month but I decided to make a natural toner which I have been using for the last week and I'm impressed with the changes in my skin already. It includes, green tea, apple cider vinegar and tea tree oil.

5. Blemish

I have spoken about this Blemish gel in my before primer routine post. It was cheap, on the discount shelf at Priceline. Since buying it I haven't been able to find it - which is terrible. Again after toning I squeeze out a blob of this and apply it to my face all over- I find this blemish gel works fantastically at toning down problem areas. It is not a quick fix and can take a couple of days for larger break outs. It does seem to contain break outs once used regularly. 

This product is amazing, if you get the chance to try it, have a go!

6. Moisturiser

I bought this moisturiser after I watched my Aunty apply it to my baby cousin - A doctor recommended Vitamin E cream for fading scars. Which my little cousin has tonnes of because she has a habit of tripping and falling on her face. I also have a lot of blemish left scars on my face so I figured it couldn't hurt. I was also looking for a more hydrating moisturiser after finishing my last tub of Nivea soft.
