Happy 2013 everyone! Apologies for not blogging in the past week..the first week back to college is always tiring. Any-who I am now back with a post on how I prep my skin every morning when I wake up before adding my make up.
I have been loving Nivea's skin products this year, they're perfect if you're suffering from dry skin and need extra moisture. I used to always purchase the Simple skin products as I thought they worked wonders until I found the Nivea range.
So here goes, I will be talking about each product from left to right.
2 in 1 Cleanser and Toner
Express Hydration Primer
After finishing my Rimmel primer I wanted to try the Nivea formula as all of the other products by Nivea have worked wonders on my skin. I am not 100% convinced with this primer, I find it doesn't make my make up last as long as the Rimmel primer did. The advantage is obviously the price..but I think there are definitely better primers out there with a more effective formula. I'm not saying this product won't work for you, everybody has a different skin type and it may suit your skin perfectly. I apply the primer after I have cleansed and moisturised. After applying I wait for 5 minutes before starting to apply my make up, just so all the products have sunk into my skin.
Rich Moisturising Day Cream
I have only been using this product for a short while after moving on from the Simple moisturiser. It's definitely a rich moisturiser and benefits my skin. It basically says what it is on the tin. The downside to this moisturiser is the size, I have a feeling this bottle won't last me a very long time other than the Simple moisturisers. I apply this after i've cleansed my skin and thoroughly rub in the product over my face and mid neck area.
Original Vaseline
I swear by this product, if I was stranded on a desert island this would be one of my choices to bring with me for sure! If you're suffering from a patch of flaky skin on your face, definitely use this! I sometimes but a small amount of my face before bed and wake up in the morning with fully moisturised skin. I use this after I have cleansed, moisturised and primed..just so i don't get foundation lips (YUCK)
Hope this helped everyone trying to find a new morning skin routine and hope everyone had an amazing new year! I certainly entered 2013 intoxicated ;-) Apologies if I don't put up another blog post this week as I have a deadline due in as well as work all weekend..busy busy busy!
