Please help! I met some friends for coffee today and realised how unkempt I am Blush
Since dc I haven't really invested in myself, either skincare or make up.
My old style was fake tan and false lashes, which is unpractical and probably a bit dated now, not to mention high maintenance and expensive.
Can anyone recommend a decent skincare regime for normal skin with terrible ores on nose, at the moment I just use a hot cloth cleanser and Aldi face cream. My skin is very dull looking.
I'm also desperate for some make up, something idiot proof and not too expensive.
Which brands do you recommend for natural-ish looks on a budget? What are your must haves for a quick but polished look?
Any guidance appreciated!

-use biore charcoal face wash daily

  • apply this moisturiser straight afterwards

Thanks Sleep, sounds straight forward enough for even me! What about at night then, removing make up etc?

I only got hold of myself again when the youngest got to three to be honest but now my routine is

-am. Cerave cleanser with twirly brush thing. Sacylic acid from the ordinary. No 7 day cream. Spf 50 biore. Smash box primer. Bobbi brown foundation and lots of eye make up etc.
-pm. Hot wash Cerave cleanser again. Glycolic acid. Retinol every other night and rosehip oil.

Face masks weekly and eyebrows weekly too.

No time for hairdressers though, I just have interesting up dos now and layer jewellery a lot.

I'm really impressed with the stuff I've recently started using from the Sukin range (Boots stock it). It's vegan and has decent eco credentials. I'm using the sensitive face wash and day and night moisturisers, plus the rosehip oil.

For makeup, not cheap but Benefit Dandelion and Porefessional are a really easy way of making your face look a bit smoother and more awake. They last for ages.
