The Skincare Post: Daily Routine

I call this "daily routine", however, its not really daily. More like, every two/three days.

 
 

Step 1: Cleanse
Garnier Pure Active Daily Cleansing gel scrub
Despite the name, it's not really a scrub. The formula is gel-like with a few micro-beads which foams up slightly once lathered in. Its effective, yet quite gentle and does not strip my skin at all. Keeps the occasional spots at bay and leaves my skin feeling cleansed and refreshed.

Step 2: Tone
Pixi Glow Tonic
This is a gentle, chemical exfoliant. I swipe this across my face with a cotton pad, concentrating on the t-zone area. It basically really gently and effectively removes all traces of dirt/dead skin cells/excess oil which lead to those pesky blackheads/spots. Leaves skin glowing and refreshed. 

Step 3: Moisturise
Simple Hydrating Facial moisturiser
This is a simple lightweight, yet moisturising cream which quickly sinks into the skin. I'd say it is better suited for the warmer months.
Oilatum Natural Repair face cream (not pictured as I need to purchase one)
This is more suited for the colder months (or if you have drier skin in general) due to its rich formula and thick texture. Absorbs into the skin, leaving it very soft with a slight glow. It is very effective for dry patches. A little goes a long way.
Pure Coconut Oil
I use this mostly at night, after cleansing. It is a solid formula but melts into an oil once massaged into the skin.
(Kindly research the skin benefits of Coconut Oil, as there are far too many for me to list)
