My Simple Nightime Skincare Routine

For quite awhile, I have been using a skincare system from Clinique. And I can tell you, my skin has gotten so much clearer. A few years back I had so much spots, uneven skin tone, patchiness, you name it. This was a game changer. Yes spots are still a thing that happens to me and everyone, but my weekly spot appearances has definitely decreased.
I use this in the morning and at night. Which leads me to my nightime skincare routine.... 


Usually before I sleep I don't have makeup on, just because I take it off once I'm done with the day. But if I do have some on I always remove it firstly with a wipe. Any makeup wipe will do since its just a quick rub off (I really need to get one that's a lil better for tha skin so leave yo suggestions in the comments) and then i move on to a micellar water.
Kind To Skin Micellar Water 400ml £5.99  - shop here

I've tried a few micellar waters in the last year and I've come to a conclusion that the Simple Kind to Skin Micellar Cleansing Water is the best for me personally, it doesn't feel like I have used a cleanser, some micellar waters leave a sticky, rubbery feel but this feels incredibly soft and works so well. This is also pretty moisturising which I haven't found in a micellar water before. I definitely prefer it to the Garnier one that everyone was hyping about in the past year.


Pure Clay Detox Mask £3.99 @ Superdrug - shop here

If I'm having a more of a relaxed night, I usually use a face mask from lush, check out my favourites here: Face Mask Favourites but if not I go for the L'Oréal Face Cleanser and Toner which is basically the face wash version of the Face Masks, which by the way smells amazing! I could honestly wear it as a perfume, L'Oréal if you're listening, we need a perfume!? This Detox Wash does a great job of refreshing my skin and making if feel smoother than ever, I'm really wanting to try the glow mask (orange) one of these in the range as well.

Anti-Blemish 3 Step Skincare £57.00

Then I wash my face and use the first step of the Clinique Skincare, which is the cleansing foam. I exfoliate with this for a while and then wash it off. The 2nd step is the clarifying lotion, which is sort of like a toner, I use this on a cotton pad to apply on my face. Lastly is the moisturiser which is pretty self explanatory, I moisturise with it. Just a heads up, if you do chose to get this system I recommend you ask the Clinique Staff what would suit your skin the best as they have many products for dry, combination and oily skin, especially as it isn't the cheapest skincare, I wouldn't want you to splurge on something like this without really knowing what's best for your skin!
