Beauty basics - A simple beauty routine!

Hey there sparkle people!

So every girl needs to know the very basics of beauty - Cleanse tone and moisturise. Born with incredibly sensitive skin, i found it real hard to find the right set of "natural" products that would'nt leave me looking like a bloated strawberry !
But then my super cool aunt introduced me to the land of Lush...and i never looked back ! 😍

Cleanse : 
Angels on Bare skin - thats my cleanser!
To be honest, i have never been able to use this alone without some wet wipes or my daily scrub (Neutrogena daily scrub - a must try!). I usually use it around 3 times a week so that it does not strip my face of the minerals. Dont go by how it looks..it feels just like granules of sand. Add a little water and its the perfect scrub - kaolin clay, almonds, and lavender oil for the smell. Perfect for sensitive skin. Love it!


Toner: 
Breath of fresh air! There are not enough words in this world that can tell you how amazing this toner makes me feel <3
A toner is used to balance out the minerals on your skin that have been stripped off during the cleansing stage. 
Containing spring water, rose water, aloe vera, lavender scent, it just freshens your face in an instant!
Its a great thing to use on your cheat day as well - those days you just do not want to do your routine! What i love is that it comes in a spritz bottle and is easy ti spray on the go!
A great natural toner would be rose water, or maybe even a mixture of milk and water. 


Moisturise: 
This is the all important step. Might not seem too important with young skin, but as you grow older it will become the determinant of how fast your skin ages! Imperial, vanishing cream, gorgeous - Lush has amazing moisturisers! I love vanishing cream - its feels light and non greasy on the skin - just the way i like it :) 
Gorgeous is definately a top favourite but its incredibly expensive! 
Imperial is great for dry skin, but i would'nt recommend it at all for oily skin!
It does good to use a tiny bit for your combination skin under your foundation!

Home facials: 
So it helps if you do your own facials at home because then you get to choose your own set of ingredients.
Steam - This step is taken to open up your pores. Take a big vessel and put some boiling water into it. Make sure to have a big towel handy so that you dont let the steam escape. Put on your favourite playlist, and steam your face for your favourite song on repeat twice! 
Face mask - This is my all time favourite step! I could do this everyday with lush's fresh face masks! I have only used two till now - catastrophic cosmetic & love lettuce. Love lettuce is the best anyday...everyone i have recommended this to has come back raving about it. Therez just something about - the kaolin clay to exfoliate your skin, the honey to moisturise your skin, and fresh seaweed to nourish it. It really leaves you with incredibly bright skin! 
Catastrophic cosmetic has blueberries - the best anti oxidant to exfoliate your skin. Its a great buy to make your skin look a lot clearer! 

Well my sparkle people, thats my beauty routine. Its absolutely basic and very simple!
