~ POST-DERMAPLANING SKINCARE ROUTINE - NIGHTTIME VERSION ~ 

Yup, you heard that right... I’ve dermaplaned!

After all these years of having fine peach fuzz all over my face, I’ve finally bitten the bullet and shaved my face with as much pride as a man getting ready for a first date  😎

I’ve noticed (even more so than normal) lately how foundation has been clinging to my cheeks and becoming cakey as the day wears on, and how any base products have been accentuating any hairs that I have along the sides of my face in particular. Putting on make-up is usually such an enjoyable process for me, but with this harsh winter lighting and prevalence of peach fuzz? Not so much, and that’s why I decided to have a go at the Hollywood Browzer. 

After dermaplaning, it’s really important to not use any actives on your skin for at least 24-48 hours, as skin is much more sensitive than normal. My skin is pretty reactive anyway, so I waited 5 days to exfoliate and even then I only focused on my T-zone as my cheeks are my biggest problem area in terms of breakouts and inflammation. The rest of the time, I’ve been using the following products at nighttime:

🌚 Revolution Skincare Overnight Cleansing Oil - a perfect first cleanse to completely dissolve make-up, and my favourite ever cleansing oil due to how much slip it has and how gentle it feels!

🌚 Bliss Makeup Melt Jelly Cleanser - this may be my favourite ever cleanser! It’s non-foaming, perfect for all skin types (including sensitive skin) and is ideal for the colder weather as it hydrates your skin and leaves it feeling completely comfortable after cleansing. I cannot fault it at ALL!

🌚 Palmer’s Skin Therapy Oil - this oil is packed with essential fatty acids, natural vitamin E and antioxidants, and is non-comedogenic as well as hypoallergenic. It instantly infuses my skin with moisture and is meant to help with damaged skin, so this is what I turn to when my skin needs a little extra love. 

During the day, I’ve been sticking to my trusty aloe vera gel just to make sure I’m not over-loading my skin with anything too occlusive or heavy. I’m so pleased with how smooth my skin is now, and how these products have been my skin protectors! 

Making sure that your skin is completely clean but still nourished will ensure that the rest of your skincare performs to its utmost potential without causing irritation.

But it can be very easy to over-cleanse your skin, leaving it to feel tight and dry, or worse, leaving behind makeup or grime from your day.

That's where double cleansing comes in.

Hullo anon, the answer to your question depends on your everyday routine and more importantly if you wear makeup. If or when you wear makeup, you should probably double cleanse. You could use cleansing wipes, an oil based cleanser/balm, specifically a makeup remover, or a micellar water…there’s a ton of options. But if you don’t wear makeup you could, if you wanted, skip double cleansing and just use one cleansing product. I personally don’t double cleanse unless on the rare chance I do wear makeup. 

DOUBLE CLEANSE SKINCARE ROUTINE

I’ve really got into a swing with my skincare routine of late, and I’ve adopted the ‘Double Cleanse’ regime which really cleans your face aiding the skins texture and clearness. My breakouts have become less frequent and it really only takes a few minutes to do once you get the hang of your routine and the order the products are applied.

You don’t necessarily have to use expensive products, as long as you’re giving your skin a double cleanse in the evening then you will be removing all the dirt, grime and makeup that sits on the surface. The stuff that gets left behind after only 1 cleanse aids the bacteria that sits on your skin, causing breakouts!

Feeling sunny with the Camomile Cleansing Butter by The Body Shop ☀️  

I hope you’re all having a fab Saturday! My plans went a bit awry this afternoon when me and my family wanted to walk some of the Pembrokeshire coastal path in this delightful sunny weather, but the wind swiftly put an end to those hopes 😅 So instead we had our picnic in the car, did some reading and had a nap while being safe from the gales outside 😂 Not what we planned but it was so relaxing regardless! 

In brighter news, this cleansing balm by The Body Shop is truly divine. My brother’s girlfriend gave me this sample a couple of months ago when she had it for free during her Christmas shopping, and my goodness what a treat it has been to use. I know it’s a cult favourite in the skincare community and I can see why now!

This balm melts in your hands quickly, has a lovely slip to it which makes sure there’s no tugging or rubbing, and it has a gentle, floral scent that I find so relaxing. Make-up is dissolved in seconds, and there’s no greasy film left on your skin which wouldn’t matter too much during a double cleanse, but it’s still nice to know there’s no weird residue from using this product.

Even my eyes cope well with this - my whole eye area is hideously sensitive in general and this is one of the better products I’ve used on them. There’s still a slight sting if I’ve used too much, but most of the time mascara is broken down painlessly and easily 👌

This balm doesn’t seem to aggravate my reactive skin either - it just feels soothing, calming and an easy way to wipe away the day!

It’s a bit pricey for a student comme moi as it’s £11 for 90ml of product, but in terms of quality I have no complaints. I have the No7 cleansing balm to try out when this is done which works out cheaper, so let’s see how that stacks up against this beauty! It could be a tight race 👀

I’ve been using the Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Mousse for a while now so thought I’d share an honest review.

I fell in love with the Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm but wanted to find a more affordable option for the double cleanse, which is how I found the JUNO Co. Clean 10 Cleansing Balm. This is the closest I’ve found to the Elemis style balm at a fraction of the price! Click here to find the JUNO Co Clean 10 Cleansing Balm on Amazon What is the Double Cleanse?
