My favourite cleansers

Hello lovelies, today's post is about my favourite cleansers that I use on a daily basis depending on how my skin is. I have been quite lucky throughout my years on this earth and had no major issues with my skin other than the odd spot but over the last few months I have noticed that my skin is starting to have a lot more breakouts than normal. Research and advice have told me that its more hormonal breakouts due to certain things going on in my body and things that are changing, upping my skincare regime is certainly helping me so today I thought I would share my current cleansers with you all.

My first cleanser which I use on the days when my breakouts start is my REN Clarifying Clay Cleanser which is aimed at blemish prone skin, REN is always a winner for me and I really like this as I find it gives my skin that extra deep clean and it contains some great bio extracts such French Clay,Zinc Gluconate and Salicilin. I usually leave it on for a few minutes before removing it as it feels like a mini face mask. I use this usually from the days my spots start up to when they begin to calm down, which can take anything from a few days to a few weeks. I will often use other cleansers in between, especially if I have been wearing a lot of make-up or sunscreen but I try to avoid wearing much when I have my breakouts as I tend to feel a bit clogged up.

On my heavy make up days I use the Body Shop  Chamomile Cleansing Oil as my pre-cleanse to take off the first layer of make up - I love this as a pre cleanse it feels lovely on the skin and I do use it on occasion as a normal cleanser in my light make up days when my skin can feel a little on the drier side. After my pre-cleanse I follow this with Clinique Take The Day Off balm as this is fantastic for removing any remaining make up, eye make up and SPF. It looks hard in the tub but glides on like an oil and feels lovely- if you can't afford the Emma Hardie Balm the Clinique is a great alternative. 

Another staple cleanser for me is Balance Me Cleanse And Smooth Face Balm when my skin is on a normal day but I need a little oomph this is one of my favourites, a lovely balm consistency with tiny bits of oatmeal to just give your skin that bit extra when feeling a little dull or lifeless, its not harsh in any way and gives you that bit of a pick me up whilst leaving skin soft and smooth.

My final cleanser is my Una Brennan Super Facialist Rose Hydrate Calming Creamy Cleanser, a lovely staple cleanser that leaves skin soft and hydrated, its a great all round cleanser that does not dry out the skin but if you wear a lot of make up I would suggest a double cleanse with this or use the Una Brennan pre cleanse oil with it,This cleanser is only £7.99 so fantastic value if on a budget. 

I hope you all enjoyed reading about my favourite cleansers, I'm going to follow up with my favourite toners on the next post.
