Trying to establish a fixed skincare routine has been ongoing for years and for some reason trying to do this with one brand has been way harder for me than I'm sure it should of been.
I do still have a mixture of skincare products in my more advanced routine but here are a few of my Bobbi Brown products I've become quite attached too.
First of all I think its important to point out I have oily- combination skin which is also very sensitive to most things I put of my face, I'm also prone to breakouts if I don't remove my make-up properly , if I'm stressed , hormonal and eating a lot of junk food.
I defiantly have a love/hate relationship with my skin 99% of the time.
First of all I start with the soothing cleansing oil on dry hands , dry face I use this all over my face in circular motions , if I am wearing make-up you can start to see it gently dissolving away the make-up (its weirdly satisfying ) then I rinse with water and a muslin cloth , or hands if I'm feeling lazy and then repeat with a double cleanse just because I do have oily skin and prefer that squeaky clean feeling. I was always frightened of using oil on oily skin but this cleansing oil contains Jojoba oil which mimics the natural oil already in our body.
Next I follow with the hydrating face tonic - I love this stuff its similar to a toner but instead of containing alcohol it contains mineral water and cucumber so really calming for my sensitive skin , it also contains moisture magnets which means any moisturising products you pop onto the skin will be locked in, followed by the hydrating eye cream to ensure my under eye area stays hydrating and is prepared for any make-up I may apply after.
Moisturise moisturise moisturise ! something I use to be sooo lazy at doing and didn't really understand why my oily skin needed more moisture ( how very wrong I was ) I'm currently using the Vitamin enriched face base which like the name says is jam packed full of vitamins it smells delicious too which is always a bonus.
This routine applies to both when and when I am not going to be wearing makeup on the day.
For the evening my skin care is pretty much the same , However I do like to switch up my daily moisturiser for a night cream or balm , at the moment I am loving the Decleor Aroma night balm , you only need a pea sized amount and just warm between your fingers before applying.
Lastly if I do have any pesky breakouts I will apply a spot treatment such a Origins super spot remover or TCP works just as well.
I would love to hear any of your skincare holy grail products especially if you also struggle with oily skin and unwanted breakouts too :)

Such a fab and interesting post to hear someone else's skincare routine who doesn't have dry skin like myself! :) I will have to try the soothing cleansing oil! X
