This is my skincare routine :) I like to keep it pretty simple most days as I found overloading my skin made it too sensitive :)

Makeup removal
I wear makeup everyday so I like to remove my makeup the old fashioned way
First I remove my makeup with micellar water, I’m not picky and buy whatever’s on special, which is usually this
Buy Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water For All Skin Types 700ml online at Chemist Warehouse
I use these with micellar water to remove my makeup, these are perfect as they have a smoother and slightly more exfoliating side. And all you need to do after is chuck em in the washing machine
Sephora Australia
Cleansers
I use two cleansers for a really deep clean, first I use an oil based cleanser to remove any left over makeup and dirt from the day, and a foam based cleanser for my secondary cleanser
I use this baby as my first cleanser, I use quite a few pumps and massage it quite deeply into my skin, especially around my nose and forehead as that is where my skin gets the most congested
Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Cleansing Oil 210ml
She’s an icon for a reason! I use this as my secondary cleanser and she’s perfect for people my sensitive combination leading to oily skin as she’s slightly exfoliating without being too stripping.
The Rice Wash
Toners
I’ve tried my fair share of toners, and I’ve found I need something moisturising after cleansing
I’ve tried my fair share of milky toners from budget to high end, and this consistency and formula has seemed to work the best with my skin. Use a liberal amount after cleansing and let sit for a minute before moving on to your next step
I struggle with dark and dry under eyes; so I need an eye cream that’s both hydrating and brightening
This has a really cute and genius little applicator that makes applying it so incredibly easy! Use this after the thayers milky toner, let sit for a minute before moving on with moisture
This is the perfect heavyweight but not too heavyweight moisturiser. I use quite a few pumps. She’s also on the affordable side so I don’t feel bad about how how much I use

Face oils
Face oils are perfect when you need that extra help locking in hydration, I use this like water during the colder months
This baby is sooo underrated she needs to go viral! Use her after your moisturiser to lock in that hydration

Treatments
These treatments are products I don’t use on the every day, but are still important elements of my overall routine
I use two of these every second day, first use the textured bumpy side and really massage your skin with it going upwards and outwards, follow in the same directions with the smoother side.
medicube - Zero Pore Pad 2.0
I use this once a week, usually on a day I use no other treatments as it’s quite harsh on sensitive skin and can strip it if not careful. Follow instructions on the packet for optimal use
Dr Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel (Pack of 5)
Clay masks
Clay masks are great way to suck out any excess oil, I like mine to be quite gentle
I use the Caudalie instant detox mask once a week, usually a night after I’ve used a medicube zero pore toner pad

Sheet masks
I use a sheet mask a few times a week, perfect way to add hydration into your skin when it’s feeling a bit dry

These sheet masks are perfect to add a bit of plumpness in your skin, with peptides that are all the rage at the moment, I use this sheet mask once a week
Collagen Peptide Boosting Shot Hydrogel Mask
Other masks
These masks aren’t sheet masks, and they aren’t clay masks, but they’re still an integral part of my routine
I use this a couple of times a week when my skin feels dry and needs a bit of extra tlc as a final step in my skincare routine, apply a thin/ish layer all over your face (avoiding your brows and lips) and let it dry before heading off to sleep. Peel ...

Lip oils
Okay, this isn’t actually technically “skincare,” but if you know me then you know that I always need something on my lips, even at night. Here are my fave hydrating lip oils with a bit of colour and maybe even sparkle cause why not :)
MY FAVE LIP OIL EVER!! In fact I am going to start a petition that Gisou carry it year round because the fact she’s only seasonal is a tragedy.

Lash growth serums
Even though I wear false lashes daily, I still like to keep my lashes healthy. The most important element of a good lash serum is actually what it DOESN’T have, Prostaglandin, and preferably all natural
This mash fits all the criteria mentioned above, and it actually works! And she lasts forever
