After a hard day at work my number one priority is always take the day off my face. As many of you know I have been blessed with oily skin which has its pro and cons. But does mean I am more  to break outs and large pores. Fortunately over the past year my skin has progressively got better and my general make routine has changed and foundations are now no longer my go to (please let me know if you would like an updated make up routine) and concealers are my new best friends.

If you suffer from combination to oily skin like mine I would advise you have a little read through my current skin care steps.....enjoy reading my lovelies.

STEP 3 Caudalie Micellar Cleansing Water

This is a staple product in my skin care routine. As I am unable to use cleansing wipes due to the alcohol content. I have reverted for a natural based product

It effectively  cleanse the leaving a silky smooth texture. With 0% parabens, phenoxyethanol., phthalates, mineral oils, sodium laureth sulphate and animal ingredients.
