Beauty | Highstreet Skin Care

I always love reading other peoples skin care routines to get an idea of what products I could use in my own. Quite frankly I am absolutely rubbish at looking after my skin. I'm more of a face wipe gal. *gasps in horror*

However lately I've made a conscious effort to improve my skin - if you have a skin care routine, you have your life together right?


 My skins super confusing and I've never quite figured out how to deal with it. I have combination skin of oily and dry patches. So I thought I'd list down some products I've been using recently to give other people ideas what works for me.

L'oreal Micellar Water, Toner, Milk Cleanser. 

I was in Sainsbury's looking for Garnier micellar water which I've used previously (fab stuff) and seen that L'oreal had brought their own range out. Obviously, I bought all three it would have been rude not to.

Step 1: The micellar water is just as good as Garnier. There is a visible difference in the amount of product it takes off.

Now I'm no skin expert so no idea which one comes next. Is it cleanse then tone or vice versa?!

Step 2: Then I use cotton pads with the smallest amount of milk cleanser on. What I like most about this bottle is the pump on the top. I've used cleansers before in a squeezy bottle and this is just so much easier. It also locks in place when twisted so if you're travelling it won't leak. The cleansing milk is rose and jasmine scented. It leaves my face smelling amazing and feeling so soft.

Step 3: Finally I use the toner. This is also rose and jasmine scented, it is such a fresh scent. The toner has a slightly slimy feel to it if it gets on your fingers and doesn't come out of the bottle too well (it normally ends up on my floor rather than on the pad). But once it has soaked in, it leaves your skin feeling squeaky clean and by this point, there is absolutely no makeup left on the pads meaning you are finally makeup free!

Phew! Who knew wearing makeup was so time consuming?!

Nivea face wash, Eye makeup remover and Nivea moisturiser.

I've clubbed all of these products together because you've guessed it, they're all Nivea! The Nivea face wash and moisturiser I use both on a morning.

The face wash makes my face feel so squeaky clean and the smell reminds be of being on holiday, it's gorgeous. It also has little beads within it which gently exfoliates the skin.

I haven't got a picture of the moisturiser as it has gone walkabout -sorry! My face is very picky with moisturisers and this oil-free day cream is for oily and combination skin because although my face is oily it can also sometimes be dry - confusing right?

The Nivea double effect makeup remover is absolutely fantastic for removing eye makeup. Give the bottle a good shake before use, two swipes of the cotton pads and your eye makeup is no more! Like magic.

I hope that this post has given you of an idea of products which are available on the high street for skincare and you might even try some!
