Morning Skincare Routine

As most of you will know my recent absence is due to the fact that I have been sorting out things for my move to London this weekend. I actually moved out of my house in Cardiff on Tuesday (sob) and am at home for a few days sorting things out.

Anyway enough of my boring life, this morning whilst washing my face I realised I had one, two days at most left in my morning toner so I decided to pop up to my closest local shopping centre as well as heading to the bank (because shock horror moving to London is expensive) and anyway I repurchased my favourite toner. 

My complete morning routine now looks like this. 

Broken down it is Super Facialist by Una Brennan, Clinique clarifying lotion, and Number 7 beautiful skin day cream. 

Starting off with my cleanser and it is the tea flower deep clean purifying cleansing wash. It comes out as a liquid and you massage onto dry skin and wash it off with warm water or a damp muslin cloth. I love morning cleansers that require splashing the face with lots of water as I find it really helps wake me up on those early mornings. I particularly like this one as it is nice and cheap, I can't re meme the exact price but I know it was under £10, it is easily available from Boots, and it doesn't break me out. Winner! 

Next is toner and I've been using this toner for about 18 months apart from pjs small break where I tried out the Clarins exfoliating toner. The main reason I went back to this Clinique one is simply price, I felt that £28 was a lot to pay for not seeing that many results. I prefer exfoliating toners in the morning to help strip my skin of all of the nasty stuff that has gotten into it over night. 

Today in Boots I picked up 200ml for £16.50 and the lovely lady on the counter gave me a free travel size version! 

Lastly is moisturiser. I've never been particularly fussy about moisturiser, so long as it moisturises my skin and isn't too oily then it makes me happy. I will have bought this beause I had a voucher or there was some sort of offer in Boots (it's no wonder I was on first name terms with some of the shop assistants in Cardiff Queen Street Boots).

I start my placement in London on Monday and I plan to keep you all updated on any changes in my skincare routine now that I'm going to have a little more cash to burn than my student self.
