MY EVENING SKINCARE ROUTINE

Since our skincare routines are very important for our skin to look good, especially evening skincare routine, because that's when our cells repair and rebuild, I decided to let you know how I take care of my skin in the evenings and what products I use to do that.

Firstly, I always remove my make-up at the end of the day. For that I use the Bioderma micellar water for combination/oily skin. I soak two cotton pads with the Bioderma and then remove my eye make-up and then I take a new soaked cotton pad to remove the rest of my make-up.

After removing my make-up, I use the cleansing gel by Germaine De Capuccini to cleanse my face and to get rid of any make-up that might still be on my face.

Now, that I've cleansed my face I need something to help me get rid of the imperfections on my face. For that I use the exfoliating fluid by Germaine De Cappucini, this removes dead cells from the surface of the skin. It also exfoliates, purifies and minimises the appearance of the pores. I mostly use this on my zits to dry them out. If I use this on a larger area of my face I use a cotton pad to do it, but if I only have to use it on a few spots, then I just apply it with my finger.

To moisturize my skin I use the hydrating cream by Germaine De Cappuccini. I apply this on my face and also my neck. This is the best face cream I've ever used, it moisturizes the dry areas on my face, but at the same time it isn't too moisturizing for the oily areas, it balances my combination skin out very well. I also love the smell of this cream, it smells very clean and fresh, but don't worry, the scent isn't too overwhelming.

Under my eyes I use the reduction gel by Planter's. It has a metal applicator, so it's great for those who have puffy eyes. It claims to reduce the darkness under the eyes, but I really haven't seen the difference. Nevertheless, I really like this eye gel, because it dries very quickly.

To keep my lips moisturized at night I use any lip balm I have at the moment. Right now I'm using the baby lips by Maybelline. This lip balm has a great scent and it's quite moisturizing, but I have to say that if your lips are cracked then you need a more moisturizing lip balm than this.

Once a week I try to use a facial mask to really cleanse my skin, although I usually use it once a month. I use a clay mask by The Body Shop, this removes any dirt or oil from the pores. I wouldn't recommend to use it on your whole face if you have normal or dry skin because it dries out the skin. So, if you have a normal skin, just use this on the areas, where you have pores or spots, usually it's the T-zone.

So these are the products I currently like to use to take care of my skin in the evening. I try not to use too many products, because I usually don't like to spend too much time on taking care of my skin in the evening.
