autumn skincare routine.

In Autumn, I tend to slightly switch up my skincare routine to help keep my skin hydrated in the cold London months.

In the morning, I wash my face with Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Scrub and after, I moisturise with Boots Botanics Calming Day Cream. That's really it for the morning.

In the night, I'll wash my face again but this time I only wash it with water since if I wash my face too much, I get a lot of spots, weird huh? I then again moisturise with the same Boots Botanics Calming Day Cream. On in the night, if I notice any spots on my face, I use the Clean & Clear Advantage Spot Treatment directly onto the spot. 

Twice a week, instead of using a scrub, I use the Garnier Pure 3 in 1: Wash, Scrub and Mask. I actually only use this as a mask because I think it's the nicest mask I have ever used, seriously. 

Also, twice a week, I use the Neutrogena Spot Stress Cleansing Lotion. I put this onto a cotton pad and swipe it all over my face to remove dirt, oil and impurities. I don't use this everyday because I find that my skin freaks out and I get massive breakouts. 

As you can tell, I don't use a lot of products on my skin because 1) I don't have the time in the morning/I can't be bothered and 2) for my skin, and my hair too, less is more as it gets oily throughout the day, even though it's pretty dry. I don't cleanse and tone my skin for the same reasons and I don't think I've ever found a cleanser or toner that I can use daily without getting breakouts - it's great to have sensitive skin ugh.

I hope you liked this even though it was a lot shorter than I expected.

my current haircare routine.

This is my hair naturally and the curls are a total pain. If any of you are curious, I wash my hair every 3/4 days. I don't use any heat on my hair expect blowdrying my fringe but I let the rest of my hair air dry.

Here is my current haircare routine:

I actually use 3 different shampoos and 2 conditoners. I alternate between these shampoos and conditioners, mainly because I really want to use them all up.

Shampoo: 

Tresemme Moisture Rich Shampoo - one of my favourite shampoos, really moisturising.

Dove Damage Repair Shampoo - awesome shampoo, also one of my favs, even if your hair isn't damaged like mine, it makes your hair go super super soft and it smells gorgeous!

Naked Clear Anti-Dandruff Shampoo (hardly use it) - I hardly ever use it and only to keep dandruff at bay. It really does work to keep away dandruff.

Conditioner: 

Tresemme Moisture Rich Conditioner - a really good conditioner, not my favourite, its very moisturising but it has a very weird smell?

Dove Damage Repair Conditioner - this is my favourite conditioner in the whole wide world and has a beautiful smell. You need to try this, seriously!

After washing my hair, I towel dry most of it and then put the Boots Almond and Coconut Leave In Conditioner to detangle my hair. I only apply this at the ends of my hair but this has a really horrible smell, not as bad as the smell of garbage or something but it doesn't smell like coconuts or almonds to me. I don't think it detangles my hair very well and I haven't noticed a difference in my hair after using this. However, I bought this ages ago and I really want to finish it so I just use it for the sake of it really.

I then part my hair so I can see my fringe and put some Charles Worthington Frizz Free Serum onto the ends of my fringe and on the ends of my hair. It is a really good serum and I find that it keeps my hair soft after blowdrying my fringe. I also find that it stops my ends being so dry.

That's the end of my haircare routine and I know its not a lot compared to other people's routines but I find that less is more for my hair as it will get greasy, quickly.
