Winter Skincare Part 1: Cleanse & Tone
Emma Hardie Amazing Face Cleansing Balm* | NUDE Cleansing Oil* | Lierac Vitamin Toner
I really wanted to talk to you guys about my winter skincare routine as well as some of the products I’m currently trying out, but when I attempted to do so it got so long winded I soon realised it would need to be broken up. So this is part one of a FOUR part blog post! Don’t worry, I’ll spread them out, but there are some amazing products that I want to talk to you about.
Let’s begin with cleansers, possibly the most important product in my routine. I wear quite a lot of makeup, mainly because I love applying it and trying new things, but this means that I need to take it all off properly at the end of the day. The day I realised how gross it is to not take your makeup off properly was the day I started having pretty good skin. I’ve been steering away from cream and gel cleansers and solely using balms and oils which are much better for my type of dry/dehydrated skin. The Emma Hardie Amazing Face Cleanser is a balm cleanser and you only need a small amount mixed with a drop of water in the palm of your hand. I remove my eye makeup with bioderma before using this as I don’t want to waste it and would need a lot to remove my eye makeup. I also don’t think I’d want to use a balm on my eyes for some reason. It’s incredibly luxurious and after I’ve removed it with a muslin cloth my skin feel cleansed and hydrated.
The NUDE cleansing oil…. WOW. I start by using one pump and rub it all over my eyes, which doesn’t sting one tiny bit (I don’t know why this surprised me) but it breaks down makeup so well that all my eyeliner and mascara comes off with one swipe of the muslin cloth. I then use two pumps on my face and it feels incredible on my skin. It’s so nice to have a product that removes makeup so well without stripping the skin at all. I can’t recommend this enough!
I recently bought the Lierac toner from Paris and so far I’ve really been enjoying it. It’s a step I tend to forget in my skincare routine, but it iss important so I’m forcing myself to remember.
I’d highly recommend the cleansers and I’ll report back after a couple of months of using the toner!
Are any of these products currently in your skincare routine?
