Exfoliator – The Sanctuary or Dermalogica microfoliant

General – epaderm (not pictured as the tub is massive and wouldn’t fit in the shot)
My routine:
First thing in the morning I start by using Epaderm on my face which is an emmolient such as aqueous cream you can wash with if you have psoriasis or eczema etc. you can get it from behind the counter at boots. I then use my serum all over my face and neck and if I am using eye cream then I apply the dermapod (you can only use these three times a week).
Straight away I use my wild rose korres moisturiser and let that sink in while I get dressed and have my coffee and take my vitamins. I then apply my primer and then make up. I have to apply moisturiser before primer as my skin is so dry it just drinks up the primer otherwise but if you have regular skin then i would just use moisturiser OR primer its just because mine is so so dry.
My night time routine is quite different. First off if I go to the gym after work I just quickly use an Olay wipe. When I get home from work or the gym I use two pumps of the Lancome Huile all over my face, I dab it gently into my eyes and lashes as well and then give it a minute or so to dissolve the makeup, I then spash my face with some water and wipe with a muslin cloth or a cotton pad, then i rub the Korres magnolia cleanser into my face and remove with a warm wet flannel or cotton pad, then I spritz my face with the Elizabeth’s Daughter toner. I then apply my serum and then the simple derma cream straight afterwards. Before bed I apply some lipbalm like Korres jasmine lip butter.
Additional Products: Sometimes I use a face mask which is Korres honey and thyme but to be honest since I can’t have baths anymore this is quite rare, I have no idea how people with children manage since I don’t have any and still struggle to find 15 minutes to just wear a facemask! I also exfoliate once or twice a week either with Dermalogica Microfoliant which is a great product that comes in really annoying packaging that spills everywhere or the lovely Sanctuary warming face scrub, which comes in normal packaging that isn’t irritating (can you tell which one i prefer)!
So if you want to do yours then either tell me below or let me know you have on your blog and I will come and take a look as I love to know what new things people are using! x
