My 2014 Skincare Favourites


  
Continuing with my favourite products of the past year, today's post is dedicated to the skincare products that stood out to me during 2014.  I will also be posting my favourite hair and body products of 2014 in the next few days, but for now, here's my top skincare products  of 2014... 


Favourite Makeup Remover- Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water 

 Micellar waters are my favourite way of removing all of my makeup before cleansing, and this Garnier one has been my favoured one of choice for the past year. It effectively dissolves and melts away my makeup, without stripping my skin, making it perfect for those with sensitive skin. I have repurchased this a couple of times throughout the last year and I am sure I will continue to do so.

Favourite Cleanser- Yes to tomatoes Daily Clarifying Cleanser
After being on the hunt for a suitable cleanser for my combination/oily skin for a while, I eventually stumbled across this one, aimed specifically at those with combination skin. It is a gel cleanser that lathers up to a foamy consistency, and purifies and refreshes my skin without leaving it feeling dehydrated. My skin feels smooth and thoroughly cleansed after using it. I love it!

 Favourite Face Mask- Superfacialist by Una Brennan Pore Purifying Clay Mask
 Face masks are one of my favourite skincare products, as the effects of using them are obvious as soon as they have been used. As I suffer from combination/oily skin, this pore purifying clay mask unclogs my decongested skin, leaving it feeling smoother and looking a lot clearer. Despite it being a clay mask, it doesn't leave my skin feeling tight or dry, so is the perfect face mask for my combination skin. 

Favourite Exfoliator- The Body Shop Vitamin C Microdermabrasion
I love using this product when my skin looks slightly dull, as it effectively removes dead skin particles, giving the appearance of brighter and more radiant skin. The tone and texture of my skin is improved, leaving it feeling soft and smooth. A must have product for brightening up dull skin!  


 Favourite Day Moisturiser- Garnier Fresh Essentials Day Cream
I tired a fair few moisturisers last year, yet this is the one that I reached for after my morning cleanse the most. It is a gel-cream, enriched with grape water, so refreshes and hydrates my skin, whilst being suitable for my skin type. It also smoothes my complexion, making it perfect for wearing underneath makeup.  

Favourite Night Moisturiser- No7 Essential Moisture
I always used to use the same moisturiser for both morning and night, however I recently switched up my evening skincare routine, using a different moisturiser more suitable for night. It is a rich cream leaving my skin instantly moisturised at night, whilst in the morning my skin feels soft and smooth.  


Favourite Eye Product- Simple Kind to Eyes Revitalising Eye Roll- On
I have never really used an eye product religiously, yet whenever my eyes look tired and in need of revitalisation I reach for this roll-on eye gel which instantly cools the area underneath my eyes. Containing cucumber extract, it refreshes my eyes, making them appear brighter and more awake. 

Favourite Lip Product-Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm
I have raved about this product numerous times before, yet it remains my favourite lip balm, as it is the best one I have ever used. With beeswax, peppermint and Vitamin E, it hydrates my lips as well as soothing them, especially in cold weather. It is always with me wherever I go, and I couldn't live without it, it's that good!
