My Skin Care Routine

Hey everyone Happy New Year I'm Kicking off with a skin care post since its a New Year and all.

My skin type is slightly oily around my nose but mostly combination with slight sensitivity and dryness.

I'm sure like everyone you have tried out a lot of skin care products and brands. Some have worked for me and plenty have failed. 

having gone to Elemis counter last year and having a skin test and also being given some samples to try out I decided that Elemis worked great for me.

I cannot highly recommend enough going to cosmetic counters and asking plenty of questions and ask for samples. If you don't ask you don't get right!. And most importantly trying before you buy is definitely the best option especially as some products can be a little expensive.

I am going to go into a little of what I use and do.

1. Elemis Pro Radiance Cream Cleanser;-

I use this everyday, you put it onto your face dry or even on top of your make up, leave it for a few minutes then remove it with the mitt that comes along with this product.

It smells amazing and this is the second bottle I have purchased it lasts for at least six months if not more with using it everyday.
