My SkinCare Routine!!!
Hi Beauties
A lot of people have asked me what skincare routine is at the moment, so i thought i would share it on my blog. I hope this will help some of you guys out there.
First of all i would like to say that i do not have perfect skin, no no i have very sensitive Acne prone skin. At the beginning of this year i told myself that i would start taking care of my skin because it was getting worse. I did a lot of research and trials to come up with a good skincare routine. My skin is not perfect but it has improved greatly and i think is because i now take good care of my skin.
With my skin i keep it natural and simple really. I find that most commercial products are really harsh for my skin. Another thing is that i decided to study my skin to find out what type of skin i have so that i could find the right way to treat it.
Skin Type
I've got Combination skin. My T-zone (forehead and down to the nose) is very oily and my cheeks and rest of my face is dry.
Products For My Face
My Daily and Weekly Routine
I cleanse my skin twice a day Morning and night to remove dirt, oil and makeup from my face.
In the Morning
What i do During the Week
Scrubbing- I scrub my face 2 or 3 times a week. This helps remove all the dead skin cells from the face.
Mask- I apply my mask which is Cosmetic Warrior from Lush 3 to 4 times a week. I apply it after cleansing my face and leave it for 5 minutes and then rinse off. this helps to deep clean my face.
Aspirin Mask with Honey- I only apply it once a week, this helps with any acne or redness on the face. I've got a blog post on how to make the aspirin mask. If i dont have any break outs i don't do the aspirin mask.
This is what i do daily and weekly, it seems like alot but it's not. If you want your skin to be better you have to take care of it. This routine and the products have improved my skin. One important product that everyone should use is Water, you have to learn to drink water regularly this will help improve your skin.
My advice is to be patient and study your skin and i will encourage using naturally made products. I have tried different commercial products and it did not help my skin and just made it worse. So i decided to try natural products, i did a lot of research and trials to find the right products for me. I prefer using lush products because their products are naturally made and they work for my skin.
I hope this was helpful to you. Until next time, Stay Blessed xoxo

My Daily and Weekly Routine
I cleanse my skin twice a day Morning and night to remove dirt, oil and makeup from my face.
In the Morning
- I cleanse my face with the African Black Soap, it a great natural soap for the face and body. It clears skin bumps and spots. It helps relieve acne, oily skin and other skin problems.
- After washing my face i dry it by patting it with paper towels. I prefer paper towels because i don't have to re-use them and it seems to work for me.
- Immediately after drying i apply the Tea Tree Water from Lush to tone my skin. Toning of the face helps in removing any residual dirt or cleanser on the face. It also helps in restoring the natural pH level of the skin, making it ready for being hydrated. Another great and effective toner to use it Witch hazel, i usually add tea tree oil and glycerine in a bottle and shake it.
- I then apply my Day eyecream from Avon.
- After that i apply my vanishing cream and that's it for the morning
- I wipe of my make-up with the baby wipes. I then apply Ultrabland and rub softly in circular motion and i take cotton wool, dip it in warm water and then wipe off the rest of my make-up. Ultrabland also cleanses at the same time so i dont need to cleanse after doing this.
- After cleansing i apply my Toner
- I apply lime Juice on any spot i may have, it helps reduce the appearance of spots.
- I apply my Night Eyecream from Avon
- After that i apply my Vanishing Cream from Lush.
