My evening routine

Like my morning routine, I don't have too many steps to my evening routine.

First, I cleanse with a balm cleanser. I use The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter. I love this. This is one of the best cleansers I've ever used. I like to use a balm cleanser as I find it's the best thing to remove the SPF off my face. I do like to double cleanse on an evening, but I do use this as my sole cleanser on the nights where I'm tired and lazy, it's still removing the SPF and the day's grime off my face. It's so gentle, yet effective. It also emulsifies very easily, which is great.


After using a balm cleanser, I follow up with a cleansing milk. This is the same one as I use in my morning routine, it's the Caudalie Gentle Cleansing Milk. I like this as a second cleanse as it gives me some added hydration. When I first started taking care of my skin, I used a gel cleanser, but I realised that it was leaving my skin dehydrated. After to switching to more hydrating cleansers, my skin has become more hydrated in turn.



If I need to, after I've cleansed I will use a Salicylic Acid (BHA) product on any spots. I'm not acne prone, so I don't get many, but I've found using a Salicylic Acid (BHA) product, such as Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant helps a lot. Before learning about this I didn't know what to do when a spot appeared. I used to pick at them and squeeze them. Now, I apply this onto any spots, and it helps it go away quickly. I apply this at night, and it's usually reduced a lot by the time I wake up in the morning.


After that, I moisturise with my trusty La Roche Posay Hydreane Legere. I love this. It's hydrates my skin perfectly and it's a good moisturiser for my skin. It's light in texture, which I like, I don't like heavy moisturisers. It sinks in quickly when you apply it, which is good, as I don't like moisturisers that take ages to absorb. 




Thanks for reading!

In the test queue - REN Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Milk

Image
I like to try out new products, but I have to introduce them slowly to try and prevent any major reactions to products. I patch test every new product in the same area, my cheek, chin and nose. My chin and nose are where I experience any breakouts, if I have one. My cheek is where I experience no breakouts, so I test there to see if a new product would cause a breakout in that area, and if it did, the product would be unsuitable for me. I patch test new products for four weeks, to give my skin time to react to the product. I'm currently testing the REN Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Milk . Although it's called a cleansing milk, it has much more of a whipped texture, like a cream, more than a milk. I like the pump packaging, it's very efficient. My first impressions of this product were disappointing. I had such high hopes for this product. It sinks in quite quickly once massaged onto the skin, and it comes off easily with a face cloth, but it's just disappointing. ...

In the test queue - Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Serum

Image
I'm currently testing the Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Serum. I was browsing on YesStyle one day and this brand caught my attention. I've seen people rave about Klairs Supple Preparation Toner but I'd never seen anyone mention any of their other products. I decided to buy this as well as buying the popular Supple Preparation Toner. Klairs describe this as a gentle aqueous serum which helps replenish moisture and soothe the skin. I'm currently loving hydrating products at the minute so I decided to start testing this. My first thoughts are that this has a nice consistency. I've been using this on a night to start with, I may add it into my morning routines once I know it's not going to break me out. This is feels so light and absorbs so easily. I'm really liking it so far. I particularly like to use this on the nights where I use a BHA as my skin can feel a bit dry from using it. I feel like this is helping improve my moisture levels. My skin can feel so d...
