My Skin Care Routine
Before I begin all product photos were taken by me the rest were found on google images.
So for this post I will be going over what my skin care routine is. My skin is very sensitive and prone to acne as well. Just because this routine works for me does not mean that it will work for you, take some time to find what works best for you. So until about last year I never realized the importance of a good skin care routine simply because I didn't care and my self esteem was so low that I just thought who cares what I look like. Originally my skin care routine consisted of things from Lush but then my local Lush store closed :( I had to then try and find a new skin care routine that would actually work for my skin and not completely irritate it.
In my local mall there is a Body Shop so I figured I would look in there and thats where I found my current routine and I love it. I use the Tree Tree Oil products 1)because they have worked wonders on my skin, 2) because the Body Shop does not test on animals which is also very important to me.
While the following items are all things that are part of my skin care routine the last item is something that I have added to enhance my routine ultimately to make it easier on me. I will be adding both the links to the products that I use and the little blurb that is on the website about the product.
1) Face Wash
By far the most important thing in your skin care routine. Yes, you can totally use regular soap, but for me I have to have something different because regular soap dries out my skin so bad and makes it red and itchy.
Our Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash infused with potent tea tree oil, cleanses blemished skin with each use. A cooling lather removes impurities and excess oil, leaving skin feeling refreshed, purified and shine free with visibly clearing results.

2) Toner
I use toner kind of a cleaner as well because by using the toner I catch any dirt or makeup that the cleaner never got off when I washed my face.
Our Tea Tree Skin Clearing Mattifying Toner helps skin looks visibly clearer and tone in one step. Enriched with Community Trade tea tree oil, with shake-to-activate mattifying powders, this toner leaves skin feeling clean, refreshed and visibly clearer. Use after cleansing to remove any residual traces of make-up and impurities, which can
clog the pores.

This lotion is amazing, while after cleaning and toning it does tingle a bit when you put it on the results are well worth a few tingles.
Our Tea Tree Mattifying Lotion is a lightweight moisturizer. Enriched with Community Trade tea tree oil, this absorbent lotion provides hydration without clogging the pores or leaving skin feeling greasy. Use daily for mattified, shine-free results.

4) Night Mask
While the product that I have is technically a night mask I use it as a lotion sort of I put it on at night and then wash my face in the morning and it helps protect my skin from breakouts overnight.

5) Daily Serum
I use this serum every morning before I put makeup on or if I'm not going to be wearing any that day I put this on and then I put my lotion on.
This product is no longer on the website and I'm not sure if it is still available in store as I take a while to use mine, and I haven't purchased any recently.
6) Clay Mask
I use this mask weekly for the most part, if I am really busy I make sure to use it at least once every two weeks simply because I love the way it makes my skin feel.
Cool and deeply cleanse your skin with our Tea Tree infused clay mask. Perfect for blemished complexions, the instantly cooling sensation refreshes skin, without over drying. This mask will help to clear impurities while absorbing excess sebum, leaving skin feeling smoother and clearer looking.

7) Targeting Gel
I love this product. It slips into my purse or pocket easily and makes it easy to put some of the product on a zit that pops up during the day. The brush looks like something you would use to put on lip-gloss, which is soft and gentle on your skin.
Our Tea Tree Targeted Gel is designed for on-the-go targeted care. Enriched with organic Community Trade tea tree oil, our blemish stick is ideal for blemished skin.

I added these to supplement my skincare routine. It also helps with my hair and nails. These basically keeps them healthy and helps with my self-care.
Vitaday Biotin - 1000 mcg - Also called Vitamin B7, Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin necessary for normal growth and body function. Biotin is a key regulatory element in gluconeogenesis, fatty acid synthesis, and in the metabolism of some amino acids. Alongside its role in energy production, biotin enhances the synthesis of certain proteins. Biotin also encourages hair, skin, and nail health.
Now remember that not all of these products will work for you. I also don't use every single thing at the same time they are applied at different times and in different quantities.
Hope you all have an amazing day and I will see you next time :)
