New Skin Routine

So, i'm finally being grown-up and actually taking care of my skin properly and using fancy moisturiser regularly and everything! Mum got me the L'Oreal Triple Active Day Multi-Protection Moisturiser and also the L'Oreal Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover for Christmas and I've actually been using them properly for once in my more 'grown-up' years.
I never really bothered before now to use nice creams and removers because i'm always so knackered from being out and about on the farm and so on, so my face was lucky to get a quick smear of a baby wipe over it to get rid of make-up. I'm just lazy when it comes to this sort of thing! But now I have some nice quality products to use i'll definitely be making more of an effort.

L'Oreal Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover (Suitable for contact lense wearers)
£2.23
L'Oreal Triple Active Day Multi-Protection Moisturiser
£6.12

I must say, the Triple Active Day Moisturiser looks reem, smells reem, is reem. REEM! Haha! What a joker i am. But it is generally lovely and smells deelish. It's a light formula and soaks in quickly, leaving my skin feeling   as smooth as a new-born baby's!
As for the eye make-up remover, i'm very impressed as it near enough melts nearly all of my mascara and what-not off and doesn't irritate my eyes even though i'm a contact lense wearer. This was a big plus as I always get sore eyes after trying other products. 
I was so impressed with both of these products, that when i was in Sainsburys i thought "what the hell?" and decided to treat myself to the matching cleanser and toner from the same range.

L'Oreal Triple Active Re-Nourish Cleansing Milk
£2.72 instead of £4.08
L'Oreal Triple Active Re-Nourish Velvety Toner
£2.72 instead of £4.08

Yet again i was impressed! Lovely quality, removes all traces of make-up and leaves my skin feeling lush. I went for the 'Dry & Sensitive Skin' formula as some other products make my skin flair up and go bright red! It is not a pretty sight and feels horrible - i look like a lobster.


So, for the actual routine.
I start by just splashing some warm water on my face, then take a small amount of the Cleansing Milk in my hand and massage into my skin until my whole face is covered. 
After that, i take a cotton wool pad place a small amount of the Velvety toner onto it and then continue to remove the cleanser with it. Afterwards i splash my face with warm water again just to make sure all of the cleanser and toner has gone and then pat my face dry.
I then take the Triple Active Day moisturiser and apply all over my face (morning & evening). It soaks in so quickly!
All in all, i'm very impressed with all four products an would definitely recommend them! :o)

Much love!
