Hello my darlings!
Summer is just around the corner and I am trying to ensure that my skin is ready and rearing to go. When it comes to skincare I try to keep it simple and fresh, and generally stay clear of fragranced products.
I have incredibly sensitive skin – almost anything and everything seems to irritate it – and if that wasn’t bad enough, I also have the annoyance of a combination skin-type. So, as you may expect, I struggle to find the perfect skin-care products. It can really difficult to find the perfect products because you need to maintain moisture but at the same time you need to ensure that you don’t cause your skin to become too oily.
So, this is my current evening skin-care regime. I start with the Clinique Take the Day off Cleansing Balm (here) to remove all of my make-up. This is one of my favourite products and has well and truly converted me to cleansing balms. Read my full review of this product here. I then use the B. Pure Micellar Water (here) to further cleanse and to leave my skin feeling refreshed due to the cucumber extract. This product is perfect for sensitive skin as it is incredibly gentle.
After I have removed all traces of my make-up and my skin is thoroughly cleansed, I move onto my toner. I am currently using the Clarins Toning Lotion with Iris (here) which ticks all of my boxes. It is ultra sensitive so it doesn’t irritate my skin and the touch of iris leaves your skin feeling amazingly refreshed and rejuvenated. It is also tailored for combination skin types – perfect – so leaves my skin toned but not dry, nor does it leave any residue that makes the skin seem oily.
My final step is to reach for the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion + (here) I cannot swear by this product enough – I absolutely love it. This moisturiser is wonderfully light and feels cooling on the skin, leaving it moisturized until morning – a dream to use. Clinique products are perfect for those of us who suffer from sensitive skin, offering effective but incredibly gentle products, packed full of moisture but that never leave your skin looking greasy so are perfect for combination skin types.
Have you tried any of these products? What is your evening skin-care routine?
Lots of Love,
Hannah xx
