My Current Skincare Routine For Sensitive Skin

As you can probably tell from the title of this post, I have sensitive skin, I have done since I was very young. I have to be very careful with the skincare products that I use as certain ones that contain perfume and alcohol in them can really irritate my skin and make it flare up (something I want to avoid!). Now if like me, you have sensitive skin and struggle to find products that suit your skin type, I have been there believe me! I used to be in a viscous circle where Id buy a new product, try it out for a few weeks and have to stop using it as it would irritate my skin and make me come up in a rash. Urrgh! But fear no more as I have found the perfect skincare routine that works for me, is affordable and I've managed to stick to it for just over a year. Since sticking to this routine and using these products I have had no problems with my skin and its looked the best it ever has done!


Burt's Bees Sensitive Facial Cleanser £11.49
I use this as my morning cleanser and I absolutely love it! You may think its a little pricey for a cleanser but it is well worth the money! I've been using this everyday (and not sparingly may I add) for over a year and still have some product left! The cleanser itself is thick and creamy and makes your skin feel so soft afterwards. Plus its 99.0% natural and has no colour or perfume in it which is fab for all of us sensitive souls out there!


Nivea Daily Essentials Sensitive Day Cream £4.99
Thank goodness I found this moisturiser as I was really struggling to find one that worked for me! All the others that I had tried either made me come up in a rash, made my face oily or didn't moisturise my skin enough, leaving it dry and feeling tight. But ta-dah! This has changed everything! It glides on my skin, leaves my skin moisturised throughout the day, holds my make up in place and to top it off it contains SPF 15 in it. Plus it is so affordable, every time I have bought this it has been in the sale!


Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm £22
I use this cleanser at night to remove my makeup and cleanse my face. I love the texture of it, it literally melts onto your skin! It leaves my skin feeling so soft and clean after using it, I love it! It is a little on the pricey side but its worth it as I have only just had to buy a new one after using my last one for a year!


Simple Kind To Skin Soothing Facial Toner £3.29
This toner seems to be the only one that doesn't feel like its stripped my skin of moisture! Its so gentle on my skin and is 100% alcohol free which is great for not drying out sensitive skin! Its also an absolute bargain!


Nivea Daily Essentials Sensitive Night Cream £4.49
In the evening, after I've toned, I use this moisturiser/night cream. I absolutely love the texture of this as it is slightly thicker in consistency than a day cream/moisturiser. It leaves my skin feeling supple and nourished, its just fab!

So there is my skincare routine, I hope it helped give you a few ideas if you are looking to try a new product or if you have sensitive skin and don't know what to use. Let me know if you give any of them a go! ♥
