Night time skin routine




Origins Drink-Up Intensive Overnight Mask, Bioderma, No7 Beautiful Skin Hot Cloth Cleanser and Heaven By Deborah Mitchell Bee Venom Mask c/o

After many experiments with all kinds of lotions and potions over the years i've finally found a night time skin routine that suits me down to a tee.

Starting with the famous Bioderma, I use this to clear every last scrap of make up. I find it just glides off effortlessly with this cleanser and a little goes a long way. It only takes a couple of minutes to do my whole face. Next I use the hot cloth cleanser to ensure my face really is make up free! I smear over a semi thick layer and place a hot cloth on my face for around 30 seconds before wiping it off. I then quickly rinse the cloth with ice cold water and place it on my face for a nice shock!

I rub in a thick layer of the intensive mask and leave it on my face for around 10-15 minutes before using the eye cream over the top to finish off the job. I can't praise the Origins face mask enough, it does wonders for dry, tight skin and is a commuter's lifesaver. Those trains don't do anyone any good! Made with Shea Butter, Rose and Lavender essential oils, the eye cream is ideal for soft  skin and i've really noticed a difference since i've been using it both day at night. It's a great product if you're looking to help rehydrate your skin. I've noticed it helps to lighten my dreaded black circles too which is always a plus.

What do you use in your night time routine? Any gems I should try out?

I could get used to this sudden bout of sunshine although with a thunderstorm predicted over the weekend it looks like I need to get my wellies out. Talking of the weekend, i'm so pleased it's a three day blinder. It's even better than usual as i'm off to Nottingham for a few days to stay with a friend. There's nine of us camping out in his living room and with a trip to a rock club and Hooters on the cards, it's going to be a corker. I've already got the sausages to help me recover on Sunday morning. I don't think there's anything better than lots of gossiping, amazing junk food and plenty of bottles of wine with friends. I should imagine there will be plenty of all three!

Do you have anything planned for the Bank Holiday weekend?
