My Skincare Routine (When I don't shave)

Today i'm going to do an old classic and discuss my skin care routine, before I begin I just want to say that this is quite new to me as before I started college I was never one to look after my skin but then when I got into it I found myself coming home and thinking "Oh lord i'll look like i'm 30 by the time in 25" So with that I then decided to start taking care of my skin. Realisticly I don't do this all the time, I mean it skips my mind alot but when I do commit to it I can certainly notice a difference.

I have oily skin with sensitivity and the products I use are:

1) Salon products that are available for purchase by members of the general public is stores such as Terrisales on Middle Abbey Street, Dublin or in any of Sally/Salon services that can be found around Dublin.

2) Commercial products that are available in shops such as Boots and Tesco

My cleanser and moisturiser are both by "Kaeso Beauty", my toner is by "Simple" and my exfoliator is by "Clean & Clear"


Cleaner and Toner

With a lot of men its best to use a cleansing milk or foam as they tend not to wear make up (how ever that depends on the person) but personally i like to use a cream cleanser as it's just easier for me and it feels nicer, My cleanser as I mentioned above is by Kaseo the rebalancing range it contains cucumber and mallow. Cucumber helps to soften your skin and soothe irratation whilst mallow helps to refine pores, This product also contains witch hazel which is an astringent (basically draws mositure from the skin i.e. excess oil) I apply 3 pumps of the cleanser to my face and rub it into my skin in upward cicrcles, this is so that I am helping to encourage the dirt and oil to the surafce of my face and help unblock pores. Cleanser can not be removed with water you must use a toner to remove it as it will break down the oil and help remove left over residue, once again I use Simple soothing facial toner as it is oil-free and is really suited to my sensitive skin as is contains chamomile which is a soothing agent. I use this by placing the toner on two cotton disks and use a sweeping motion from my jaw upwards.


Exfoliating and Moisturising

After my cleanse and tone I always moisturise using my Kaseo reablancing moisturiser this is perfect for me as it goes on with a light layer and doesn't leave my skin looking oily which can be annoying and quite frankly unflattering. This too contains cucumber and mallow but instead of witch hazel it contains Vitamin E which acts as an anti-oxidant. My exfoliator is Clean & Clear exfoliating daily wash how ever with my oily skin i only need to exfoliate three times a week. This is a great exfoliator as it is oil free and has a low alchohol content so its not too rough on my face. I apply a 2 euro size ammount to a wet face after my cleanse and tone, it is important your face is wet as the grains in the exfoliator can scratch your face which isn't pretty, After my exfoliating I apply my mosituriser
