Night Night Skin: What I use on my skin before bed

Hello Lovelies,



Today's post is about my skincare routine before bed/when you don't have to leave the house and aren't worried about appearances! Currently I am in my pj's, sitting in bed, Netflix on in the background (Pretty Little Liars to be precise) with hair in a bun and makeup free, having done my cleansing routine.

Right then here's what I like to do

Step 1: Run a cloth under hot water
(Optional) Step 2: Add a couple drops of tea tree oil onto hot cloth- Tea tree oil works as a great anti-bacterial agent and helps combat blemishes
Step 3: Place hot cloth over face for about 1-2 minutes- This will open up your pores for a deep cleansing
Step 4: two pumps of the Boots Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Foaming Cleanser, gently massage into skin. Leave for about a minute then wash off with hot cloth
Step 5: Apply the Botanic's All Bright Hydrate Night Cream
Step 6: (Most Important step) Settle down and watch Netflix in bed


 

I have blemish prone skin therefore regular cleansing is essential for my skin aswell as finding a good moisturizer. I tend to change my moisturizer depending on the current needs of my skin.

I am in the process of trying to take better care of my skin and trying to regularly keep to a set skincare routine as it can be hard. Sometime we wake up late and have a busy day and head and just don't have the time to cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize and the same for bedtime, sometimes I will just get to cosy in bed and become too tired, so I will just use a face wipe and put whatever moisturizer I can find on but my aim is to get into a better routine.

Products mentioned:

Botanic's All Bright Hydrate Night Cream- this is a wonderfully rich moisturizer and feels so nice on my skin! It's one of those products that you can just feel working and adding something positive to your skin. It's very easy to apply and feels non greasy. Helps to promote healthy looking skin. It does claim to brighten skin but I have not experienced that benefit but it definitely works as a hydrating night cream, your skin will feel wonderful in the morning.

The Boots Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Foaming Cleanser- works well for my skin, as I experience blemishes the tea tree and witch hazel help to clean out nasty and unwelcome bacteria. it s easy to apply and not drying like some tea tree products. It's a good product to use as part of your skincare routine.

A few the positives in one place

Quotes to pick you up

Do you ever need a little pick me up? A snippet of inspiration? That’s why I love quotes, 

I'm thinking of compiling a few of my favorite quotes into one place and doing a little feature perhaps each week of quotes which have really caught my eye, they’re just great source of inspiration.

Below are a few to start us off with, followed by my interpretation  

“Collect Moments, Not Things” is a great one, yes its lovely to have things, maybe a memento or two, but it’s the moment that counts, I am guilty of taking my phone out almost instantly to capture the moment, and by the time my camera pops up the moment as passed, so live the moment, and if you’ve got time afterwards Instagram it!   

“All the makeup in the world won’t make you less in 
secure” – Melanie Martinez

People say we use make up to hide ourselves, to conceal how we really feel and hide our flaws, to portray a false version of ourselves to the world in the hope we are liked. I believe it’s easy to pass judgement however it’s different for everyone, if makeup makes you feel good why not wear it? If something can give us a little extra confidence for the day, why wouldn’t we do it? But each to their own as makeup is not for everyone, but we are all beautiful, some of us just need to be told it, to feel it and like Beyonce does, own it!

“Be Good, but more importantly, Do Good” -

Unknown

“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened” - Dr Sesuss

I just love these two quote, it’s so rewarding when we do something good, that it really makes just feel good, simple as that really. And when something bad happens it’s so easy to focus on it, yes crying it out is important, but it’s a memory, the things we go through help shape us as a person, so smile about that.

Thanks for reading.
