|| SKINCARE || ROUTINE ||

Hey all!
Since I haven't told you all about my skincare routine before, I thought I should start now seeing as though its a new year and what I have been using has been working for me for a while now. However, I am hoping to upgrade to the Proactiv+ system very soon but until then...

Im using Proactiv! I bet you all have seen this being advertised on late night TV channels and think it's a myth but it really does work! for me anyway. And I only pay £19.99 every month. (Take into consideration that this product may not work for everyone as EVERY individual's skin needs are different)

Now,the kit that I use is the Proactiv 4 piece core system kit which includes:


STEP 1 - Renewing Cleanser - This is a cleansing wash with tiny exfoliating beads that smooth away dead skin cells and unclog your pores. It also contain salicylic acid which helps prevent new blemishes from forming. (This is a bit harsh as I have sensitive skin so I only use it in the morning.)
STEP 2 - Revitalising Toner - This is an alcohol-free toner which helps to even out skin tone (really good for pigmentation left behind after blemishes) and removes any excess dirt, oils and make-up as well as tightening pores.
STEP 3 - Repairing Day Lotion - This is for use in the day time keeps skin moisturised and the salicylic acid and tea tree oil helps to fight blemishes above and under the skin.
STEP 4 - Repairing Night Lotion - Finally,this is your moisturiser for the night time which included salicylic acid (yet again) and retinol (used in acne treatment creams) to help stop blemishes from forming during the night and reduces pores.

Morning routine:
- Renewing Cleanser
- Revitalising Toner
- Repairing Day Lotion

Night routine:
- Cleanser, I use Boots Simply Sensitive Cleansing Wash Gel to take off my make up. I don't use the Proactiv Renewing Cleanser in the night as it is personally too harsh to use on my skin twice a day.
- Revitilising Toner
- Repairing Night Lotion 

I've been using this system for 11 months now and it has worked a treat! I started using it because I had an allergic reaction to the cleanser I was using at the time and came out in these horrible spots all over my cheeks. However, a few weeks of using these products step-by-step I got my clear skin back and I haven't turned to anything else since.

Don't get me wrong I do get the odd breakout here and there but this is either because of allergies and/or stress related.
