Daily Routine Part 2: My Current Evening Routine

Tweet

Hello everyone! I hope you are all good:)

I am actually photographing at a wedding today.. but I have decided, as I shared my morning routine with you last week, that today I would share my evening skin care routine as the second part of this mini series!

To remove all of my make up at the end of the day, including my eye make up, I use this Elemis cleanser on cotton pads. This is really really gentle on the skin and for someone with sensitive, dry, oily and troubled skin, it is really good at cleaning and soothing!

Because I tend to wear Estee Lauder's Double Wear foundation, I usually feel like my skin needs an extra cleanse to break down and completely remove my make up. I love this Elemis cleansing balm for that extra cleanse. It almost feels like a pot of vaseline, only more oily and with a lush, herbal smell. I just simply get some on my finger, rub it between my finger tips and massage it into my face before then washing it away with some warm water.

I am definitely a lover of cleansing balms as they always leave me feeling relaxed and super clean!

Recently, I re purchased this toner from Lush after a few months without it. I am still not sure what benefit this is actually giving my skin. Having done a routine without it for the past few months, and seeing my skin doing well,  I wouldn't say this has any real positive effect on my skin. However, in the summer, I do like the really like the refreshing mist on my face!

Like in my morning routine, I use the Elemis marine cream to moisturise. I bloomin love this stuff, it is the best I have ever tried and I think I have finally found my perfect moisturiser! It isn't cheap, but I am definitely a believer that you get what you pay for with skin care and if you want to see improvements then you have to pay the price!

Occasionally,  even after my cleanser and cleansing balm routine, or if I am having a shower in the evening, I will wash my face with the Peaches and Clean cleansing milk by Soap and Glory. I have used this for a while now and I am still loving it. It definitely melts away any left over make up on my face and it is just very soothing. 

Well, that is that then! My morning routine last week and today my evening skin care routine! I hope you have all enjoyed seeing what I am currently using on my skin..

I definitely do not have the best skin, but I think it takes time to find the right products for your skin and thankfully I am on the right road as my skin has improved dramatically over the past 6 months or so..

Obviously, what works for my skin may be completely wrong for you, but everything I say here on For the life of me, Em.. is 100% my honest opinion!

Until next time,
