Can't Live Without...

Everyone has those items in their wardrobe, makeup collection or bathroom that they just cannot live without. Whether you are going out for the day or going camping for 5 nights, sometimes we need to use products to make us feel a bit more like ourselves. There are three items in my skincare collection that I am loving at the moment and I use on a daily basis!

The first product is the Natio 'Lift' Skin Firming Serum. This is the first serum I have used, as I have always opted for a Rosehip Oil in my evening skincare. This has honestly done wonders to my skin. It claims to soften fine lines on the face, which I am not too worried about at my age now, but hopefully this acts as a preventative! It has made my skin glow, making it feel super soft and supple. I use this after I cleanse and before I moisturise day and night, to give added nourishment to my skin. There was one day where I didn't use this and my skin felt so dehydrated and lacklustre. This is definitely a product that will be in my skincare regime for a long time.

The next product is deodorant, which is a product that is not commonly discussed in the beauty world. But hey, everyone wears it! For years I used to wear the Dove deodorants but recently I have switched over to the Rexona Biorythm Dry 48 hour deodorant. One word to encapsulate this deodorant is definitely 'dry'. It does exactly as it says and lasts the whole day. What more could you want?

The last 'can't live without' product is the Nuxe Reve de Miel lip balm. I know I have raved about this already in one of my previous posts, but I love it. It is ultra moisturising and nourishing on the lips. My lips are always dry and chapped, so this little guy never leaves my side!

Weekly Pamper Products

We all work hard and are juggling so many things at once, which means it is important to relax and treat ourselves every now and again. Once a week, I love having a pamper night, where I light a candle, put on some music and treat my body! The weather and environment can be quite taxing on our skin, which is why it is important to keep it in excellent condition.

Step 1 - Scrub
Natio // Wellness Body Scrub
I love a good body scrub to buff away any dry skin. Exfoliating your body is an important step in your skincare routine, and I aim to do a whole body scrub at least once a week. I have tried a fair few body scrubs and this Natio one has to be my favourite. It comes in a huge jar and smells divine (infused with apricot seed and pomegranate...yum). It is really grainy, as it is a sugar polish, and really scrubs away the dull, dry skin. My skin genuinely feels invigorated and refreshed after using this.

Step 2 - Hair Treatment
Organix // Vanilla Silk Serum
My hair is often something I neglect in my routine. I hate washing, brushing, styling and generally feel like a failure with my hair! I have been trying to make a conscious effort to put some nourishment back into my hair and this serum definitely helps. I apply this to the ends after washing my hair. Not only does it make the ends feel soft, it helps to tackle any knots that are troublesome when brushing through the hair. You only need a small amount too, which means this bottle will last a long time.

Step 3 - Moisturise
Marc Jacobs // Daisy Body Lotion
I love moisturising my body. I don't know what it is, but I love it. Having silky soft skin is a top priority for me and I love using this lotion on my pamper night. Daisy is one of my favourite scents and it gives a lovely fragrance to the skin.

Step 4 - Face Treatment
Swisse // Rosehip Oil
I love using Rosehip Oil on my face, as it gives so much nourishment to my skin. I had previously used a rosehip oil on a daily basis a year or two ago, but lately I have found it is too much for my skin to use it that frequently. Now, I use it as a treat for my skin on a weekly basis. I always am amazed at how quickly my skin soaks up the oil (which makes me think my skin is thirsty for it!)
