Current Skincare Favourites (Includes Simple, Olay And Sanctuary!)

Being a sufferer of PCOS (or Polycystic Ovaries) means that my skin can be problematic sometimes. Of course good diet and a good sleep regime will help your skin but what products you use on your skin are of equal importance. And for me, finding skincare products that are compatible with my skin is often a challenge. Trial and error has taught me to stray from heavily scented facial products as those can often exaggerate my breakouts. Not fun.

For me, skincare is extremely important. When you take care of your skin, it will show. 

My personal skincare routine doesn't involve hundreds of products, nor is it overly complicated. I much prefer a more minimalistic approach since my skin behaves the way it does sometimes.

I wear make up frequently. I like my skin to feel fresh and clean when I go to bed so it's important that I remove my make up completely at the end of the day. 

My eye make up is often heavy and long-wearing so it can be a very real struggle to remove it. My absolute FAVOURITE go-to product for this purpose is Olay's Eye Make Up remover. This is a rich cream formula that sinks into the skin to loosen even the toughest eye make up to completely remove it. I squeeze a fingertip sized amount and massage gently over my eye make up. Then I wipe away until everything is removed.

Olay's Cleansing Milk is gentle on my skin and leaves no greasy residue. After removing my eye make up, I massage this over the rest of my face and wipe away all that foundation, blush, and powder. It feels gentle on the skin and leaves no traces of make up behind. Most importantly, it does not make me break out. I appreciate that very much!

I am not a fan of cotton pads or cotton balls. I find they often leave furry reside or they feel drying on my skin. They also, I feel, tug on the skin too much. When I am travelling or if I am simply feeling too lazy to use eye make up remover and cleanser, I use these wonderful wipes by Simple.  They are the Simple Kind To Skin Micellar Cleansing Wipes.

I discovered them recently and I am a firm fan. They feel soft, cooling and gentle. With Micellar technology they hydrate the skin and unclog pores with no stinging or irritation. They do a very nice job of removing even the most stubborn make up too. 

My final firm favourite is Sanctuary's Body Moisture Spray. A convenient, refreshing and super moisturising spray with vitamin E and jojoba oil to nourish and smooth the skin. I LOVE it. Easy and fast application and the formula melts into the skin beautifully. Perfect when you need to moisturise on the go or in a hurry!
