My 'Simple' Skincare

Hey Guys! 

On Wednesday I did a post reviewing the Simple Water Boost Micellar Water and Hydrating Boost, so this week I wanted to show you guys how I incorporate these two products into my skincare routine along with the two other Simple cleansing products I use  


For the products I use on my face I don't use all Simple as I'm still making my way through a big tub of Nivea Face Cream and Primark Oil Balancing wipes, so I'll only be mentioning Simple products that I use on in my skincare routine.


I only use micellar water when I've been wearing make up and I'm wanting to remove it all before I cleanse by face. Previously I've always used Garnier Micellar Water but as I described in my previous post I wanted to try out Simple's Micellar Water so that I can see which one is better for my skin. I take an oval shaped cotton pad, apply the micellar water and then go around my face dissolving all the make up. I tend to repeat this step as most of the time I'll need to take a separate cotton pad to remove my eye make up as it is a little tougher to remove! 


I like to mix up by face wash depending how my skin is feeling on the day so I rotate between Simple Foaming Face Cleanser (which I left at my house up in Newcastle), Nivea Daily Essentials Exfoliating Face Scrub and the Simple Moisturising Face Scrub, but most of the time I use this face wash as it is really gentle on my skin. It is great in the morning for brightening my complexion after just waking up and also great for dissolving left over make up that the micellar water hasn't fully broken down. I like that it lathers up really quickly and is gentle enough for me to put around my eye area  



I don't use the Simple toner all the time as occasionally my skin is really dry and the toner can make it worse by making my skin feel really tight and uncomfortable, so I only use it every now and then. But it has become a great product for ensuring after cleansing my face all traces of make up have gone and I'm prepped for my moisturiser!


My skin is a combination with a mix of dry skin and an oily t-zone but recently due to cold weather my skin has been horrendously dry! However since picking up the Hydrating Booster my skin has been so much better! With the Hydrating Booster you can use it three different ways, so for me I use it as a primer after I've cleansed by face and I'm prepping my skin for make up or moisturiser, so I put a bean sized dollop on my hand and apply that all over my skin rubbing it in. But sometimes if my skin needs some extra hydration I also use another method Simple suggest and add a pea sized amount to my moisturiser, mix it in and then apply it like I usually would and that leaves my skin feeling hydrated and glowing 

What is your favourite Simple product? Let me know in the comments below!

See you on Wednesday my lovelies!
