Kefalonia!

So I just got back from Kefalonia (an island in Greece), hence why I haven't posted in AAAGES and it was so amazing.  Such nice weather and so so nice to get away for a couple of days!

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!
