New In: Skincare

I've been trying to simplify my skincare routine and not add too many new products into the mix. I think it's helped to keep my skin balanced. I have added three new products recently and they've fitted in nicely, best of all two of them are great products which won't be break the bank.

I've been on the hunt for an affordable, light day cream. I came across the Nivea Daily Essentials Oil Free Moisturising Day Cream for Oily/Combination Skin recently as it was on offer in Boots. It's a great light basic cream which doesn't feel heavy on my combination skin yet gives a good amount of moisture to my dehydrated Winter skin. It also sits nicely under makeup. I great affordable find which I can see becoming a favourite in my skincare routine.

I started using a mascara which was proving difficult to remove so I decided to give the L'oreal Absolute Make-up Remover Eye & Lip a go. This bi-phase make-up remover is a truely great product. It quickly removes eye makeup without irritating the eyes or leaving a residue on the skin. I always double cleanse but in a rush you could definitely get away with just using this alone to remove your eye makeup.

Face oils are fast becoming one of my favourite parts of my skincare routine. I've been using the Pai Rosehip Bio Regenerate Oil recently which has been a life saver to my Winter skin. It makes the skin feel hydrated and soft without clogging the pores. It also seems to help sooth blemishes and get rid of any dry patches. It seems to be helping even out my skintone as well. It's not the cheapest oil but you only need a small amount so this bottle will last a decent amount of time.

So those are my most recent skincare additions. Have you added any new products to your skincare routine recently?
