Everyday Skincare Routine



Hello everyone!

 
 Today's blog post is going to be about our everyday skincare routine. Its very simple - literally. We both have very combination/sensitive skin so we have to take extra care when choosing what products to use on our faces. The brand we swear by is 'Simple' (Simple Kind To Skin) which has an excellent range of products to use if you have a similar skin type to ours. The brand is super careful when creating their products and ensure their skin treatments consist of absolutely 0 artificial perfumes or colours. We can rest assure that our skin can breathe and is well hydrated & moisturised thanks to the nutrients and vitamins used in the products, whilst knowing our skin will be in great condition with less of a risk of breakouts & blemishes. Carry on reading to hear about our everyday skincare routine using our favourite Simple products!.....
 
 
 
 
  Step 1: Simple Kind To Eyes Eye Make-up Remover
 
 This is the first product we use, it's a liquid substance that we apply to cotton wool pads. All you have to do is gently rub around your eye area and eyebrows and this amazing, nifty little product fully removes even waterproof mascara - without a trace of make-up left on your face! It's really gentle around the eyes and doesn't require any rubbing or scrubbing to get rid of your make-up so it's perfect if you have sensitive skin and/or eyes!



 

Step 2: Simple Kind To Skin Vital Vitamin Foaming Cleanser

 
We use this product next; it's super quick & easy to use yet does wonders to your skin. All you need to do is dampen your skin with warm water, squeeze two pumps of the product out into your hands & massage into your face. It initially comes out as really foamy & almost resembles bubbles, but once on the skin it lathers into a really lovely cleanser. It leaves our skin feeling suuuper cleansed and also removes face make-up.
 
 
 
Step 3: Simple Kind To Soothing Skin Facial Toner
 

 Then we use this; Its a natural, Aloe Vera scented toner, which includes vital vitamins for the skin. We simply squirt this onto cotton wool pads, and dab a small amount of it in places where we feel like there are excess oils. The toner removes these oils as well as making the skin plumper and smoother. As the name suggests, it also makes our skin feel soothed and is an all round great product.
 
 
 
Step 4: Simple Kind To Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser
 

This is the final step in our skincare routine; moisturising. We massage the light & gentle moisturiser into our skin with circle, upward movements across our face. This is such a lovely product, it really hydrates & adds moisture to the skin. Because this product is so light, it can be used in the morning as a day moisturiser, or you can build it up to become a thick, night time moisturiser.
 
 
So, that is our skincare routine complete! Once again, thanks again for reading this guys, we love you all and hope you have an amazing day.

Pandora - My story

♥ Hey Guys! ♥
 
 
I hope you're all well! So, today I thought I'd share something with you. I thought I'd share my Pandora story...
 
If you have no clue what I'm talking about then I'll explain. Basically, Pandora's are charm bracelets, ranging in colour, metal, size and price.  Everyone's Pandora's are different as there are over 1,000 charms to choose from, and each one that you choose to buy should be personal to you.
 
So here's my story...
 
This is my Pandora bracelet. I've had it since July this year, and I've worn it everyday since. I got this as a Birthday Gift! I have a silver single bracelet, 17 cm, and 2 charms. I chose the bracelet and charms myself and they both have meanings personal to me.
 

 
 
 
The first charm that I chose is the Angel Wings Charm.  This one was £30.00. Its a hanging/dangly charm with a pretty pearl attached. Here it is on the website: http://www.pandora.net/en-gb/explore/products/charms#!790975P/sort-by/pl
I chose this charm because I wanted something in memory of everyone who I've lost. I primarily got it in memory of my Grandad, but it now  also reminds me of everyone who we've lost in the family and gives me warmth inside to think that the 'angels' are now looking after them! ♥
 
My second and last charm is the silver love heart with a Zirconia stone in the centre. This one was slightly more expensive at £40.00. Here it is on the website: http://www.pandora.net/en-gb/explore/products/charms#!790134CZ/sort-by/pl
I chose this charm for quite a general meaning. I chose it simply because everybody needs love and everybody needs to be happy.
 
I am in love with my Pandora and I'm so grateful that I got this as a present. I wear it everyday without fail, and can't wait to add to it in the future. I will of course keep you guys posted on any new charms that join my little Pandora family! I'd love to hear about your Pandora stories so fell free to leave me comments about yours!
 
Thanks so much for reading,
♥ Milly! ♥
