Simple Toner

I don't think the brand 'Simple' gets enough credit for being affordable, gentle skin-care. I have used their products for years, as I find that heavily perfumed products can give me an allergic reaction, and Simple is so gentle and mild on the skin. I use their Light moisturiser and Cleanser regularly, but today, the Toner is getting the honourable mention.

After I've removed my makeup and washed my face, I dampen a cotton wool pad with the Simple Toner and wipe it all over my face. Its gives the perfect finishing touch to your evening routine - knowing that I've got every last scrap of make-up off my face and leaves it feeling incredibly clean and not at all tight. I know there are a lot of expensive toners out there, but I really can't fault this. And at around £3 bottle (which is regularly on offer), its a complete bargain!

Sparkling Skin

If you want to give your skin a glowing boost, I would recommend using Clinique's 7 Day Scrub-Cream.

This exfoliator gently removes any dead skin and buffs it to perfection. I have used exfoliators in the past that have caused me to have lost of little spots, but this one doesn't irritate my skin at all and I can really feel a difference in the smoothness of my skin in the days after using it.

Facial Soap for problem skin

Clinique's bar of 'anti-blemish' soap my seem steep at first (£14.50), but when it lasts a year, that works out as just less than 4p a day, so its a bargain really.

My skin can sometimes be greasy, and sometimes I have dry patches, but I never find this to irritate my skin, and I do think it helps keep blemishes at bay.

Your skin but better

For days when you want to give your skin a boost in colour, but don't want the full coverage of a foundation, I would recommend reaching for the Nars Tinted Moisturiser.

It has an SPF 30 with a broad spectrum of sun protection, so its great for everyday wear, and it doesn't smell of suncream either.

 

As I am fair skinned I have got the lightest shade in 'Finland', it gives me enough coverage to feel like I've got something on my face, but it never feels caked on or heavy.
