It's Pamper Time!

So it's got to that time of the year where the season of stuffing your face and getting attacked by the cold weather is finally coming to a slow end (very slow, I seem to still be doing all those things).  Starting the new year means turning over a new leaf and one of my many new years resolutions was to be just that little bit kinder to myself - whether that means drinking more water, going to the gym or just making sure I'm getting enough rest.

Now I know we're already well into February but better late than never to start (I've also had the crazy back to uni weeks which has not been kind to me or my bank balance) and I thought why not treat myself to a few pamper nights.

There are a few nights in the week, believe it or not, where I find myself doing absolutely nothing and how better to spend these nights than having a little pamper sesh!
So I headed to my local Boots store and found some Montagne Jeunesse mud masks, and they were on offer - every bloggers dream!
After what felt like hours of trying to decide which to get, I settled for the Nut Oil Masque and the Very Berry mask which are both moisturising mud masks which I desperately needed as the cold wind had taken all sorts of moisture out of my skin.

Beauty Review: My Skin Top Tips

Skin

So, recently I've been suffering from quite bad skin and I'm pretty sure this is down to the stress of my final college assignments and also my change in skin routine.  For aaages now I've had the same skin routine and this has made it so soft and basically spot-free but I recently suddenly changed it (because I forgot to buy more product..!)
So I thought I would share with you what I personally use on my skin but this will obviously differ for you as every person's skin is different.

 Neutrogena Visibly Clear Spot Stress Control - I use this cleanser in the morning and before bed

Garnier Moisture Match moisturiser - I put this on before bed.  Make sure not to use too much moisturiser on your skin as it can make it oily.  There are a few different types of this moisturiser for different skin types

This is like my life saver.  It can be used on basically anything (cuts, grazes, healing spots) and it works a charm.  You can get it from pharmacies and I only use it if my spots are healing

This is also a God send.  You can get it from any pharmacy and I use it if I can see or feel a spot coming.  I normally use it over night or when I'm just sitting at home because it is quite a thick gel and when it dries it's like white

Recently I was sitting in the sun and, being the pale English rose that I am, I burnt to a crisp!  This is the best after sun moisturiser ever and stops peeling.  I use it as a normal moisturiser as well, even when I haven't been in the sun at all just because it is so good

I found that another thing that has helped my skin clear up is washing my make up brushes and anything else that goes near my face.  I washed my bed sheets and pillows along with some cuddly toys (yes, cuddly toys!)

TOP TIP:

For a while, I used Sudocrem on my face over night and thought it was amazing and heaven sent HOWEVER my friend recently went to a dermatologist and she said it was one of the worst things you can use on your skin because it is so oily!
