Update my skincare routine!

So I'm very behind the times and don't cleanse or use a primer or micellar water and probably missing lots of other tricks too!

My routine is -

Moisturise in the morning with Clinique dramatically different cream
Wait 10mins then apply makeup (concealer, blusher... That's all...)

Night - take off make up with simple cleanser
apply Clinique moisture surge

Weekly I apply loccitaine Shea face oil after my bath

So should I be doing other things?? I have dry skin and am extremely sleep deprived so very heavy under eye bags

PS I currently have another thread to replace my Clinique with a plastic free alternative. Feel free to recommend!

Thanks all!

Anyone?! I want a reason to buy new things!

What about a hydrating serum? Use before moisturiser day and night? And perhaps a glycolic toner after cleansing morning and night - pick glow tonic might be w good place to start? I'm still learning about this all but my skin really has improved after I found Caroline Hirons blog - on her website she does 'cheet sheets' to break down routines/cleansing and exfoliating. I had quite combo skin which was pretty dehydrated and flaky and it's so much better these past few months - now cleanse morning and night using a hot face cloth, use acid toners then a serum then moisturiser, and actually really like setting aside 5/10mins once kids are in bed to do my wee routine. She does do different price ranges, things I buy are usually in the cheap section, now experimenting a bit more. Rosehip oil at night on your face is also lovely, can get it in a wee glass jar in Holland and Barrett's

Pixie glow tonic** that should read! Def nosey in Caroline's website/fb/Instagram account. I was never really into skincare and thought I couldn't change my skin but it's def improved with a few simple changes, just picking out what makes sense to u from her advice.
