After a 14 hour shift at work, there is nothing better than coming home and taking a nice hot shower and getting into my nightwear, steaming my face to open up my pores and applying a face mask.
Here in this photo, I have applied the YOU-OLOGY brightening peel-off mask, this mask works to improve and even out skin tone and minimize the appearance of pores leaving my face super soft and looking radiant as well.
I leave my mask on until its completely dry and feel tight on my skin then it's ready for me to peel off. My skin feels amazing afterwards and looks fresh.
Whilst I am on my night shifts I find my skin feels dry as the night goes on, I always make sure I have my Rose Water toning spritz, this spray is a product I use every single day but I always make sure it’s packed in my bag because you can spray when required.
I use the You-ology Rosewater toning sprit, it smells amazing, leaves my skin feeling hydrated and feeling fresh.
It’s formulated with
. Rose extract
. Bitter orange flower extract
. Sodium hyaluronate
I love that it comes in two sizes which is great as I use the smallest size which is 50 ml to place in my handbag and I also have the 100 ml bottle which I use at home.
Invigorating toning spritz refreshes and soothes my skin with nutrient-rich rose water. Specially formulated using rose extract and beneficial vitamins.
I also like to spray my face throughout my long shifts to awaken and refresh my face, it’s really easy to apply as it comes with a spray pump applicator. My skin always smells like fresh cut roses -refreshed and ready.
I enjoy applying my YOU-OLOGY beauty oil at night before I go to bed it’s the last step I take in my skincare regimen.
It has a blend of
. CoQ10
. Vitamin C
. Vitamin E
. Squalane
. Sweetleaf cell extract
This oil mimics my skin’s natural moisturising process, this light, yet intense oil nourishes my skin. It uplifts and conditions my skin with an oil specially designed to soak into my skin quickly and it does not leave my face feeling greasy once applied.
I put this oil on to my face before bed and sleep whilst this oil works into my skin. When I wake up in the morning my face feels super soft and really does feel moisturised.
Nano Ionic facial steamer
I have suffered from problematic skin ever since I became a mother, I have been using steam on my face for many years because I feel it works for my skin. I have seen the benefits since have started using this Nano steamer and feel like it moisturizes my skin and deeply cleanses my pores giving my face amazing facial hydration. I purchased my Nano over on Amazon after reading reviews. There were so many to chose from but I felt this one had so many great reviews I decided with this one. I have been using my Nano twice a week for ten-minute sessions. I feel like my skin is less aggravated and red however, you do need to use bottled water when using the steamer. I prefer using bottled or filtered water because its fresh and more clean. Our water system is not the cleanest in my area so I was happy that I did not need to use tap water when it came to using my facial steamer.
Acnecide
My GP recommended acnecide and told me to try this gel and to see how I got on with it. I have been using this for the last 2 years, don't get me wrong my skin is not flawless and I still break out because I suffer from hormonal acne however I feel like since I have followed this skincare regime my face is less red, blotchy, less scaring and I only break out occasionally but when I do suffer from breakouts they are pretty harsh, sore and my confidence suffers. I will use acnecide 2 times daily once in the morning the last step of my morning routine and at night before bed as the last step of my nighttime routine.
My final words
Try to find products that work for your skin type and give them a chance to work, I was a nightmare when it came to purchasing skincare because I would buy a product and use it for a week then stop. I was not giving my skin a chance therefore my skin was actually suffering. I now use the same products every day and always make sure I'm stocked up so I am never running out.
I also take Zinc and vitamin C tablets once a day to help my skin and I drink plenty of water as well.
What products do you live by? Do you suffer with problematic skin?
