Weekly Pamper Routine

Hello everyone! 

As Autumn has arrived, and the weather has changed, we need to look after our skin a little bit more. The cold air can really dry out my skin, so I try my best to keep it hydrated and also cleanse my skin a bit more deeply to get rid of dirt from the pollution. Here is my weekly pamper routine for my face. I like to do this routine at least once a week. I hope you enjoy reading this post and you find it helpful. :)


 To start off, I cleanse my face with warm water and my Cetaphil face wash. I find this great as my skin is quite oily in the t-zone and i get a lot of blemishes in that area. Afterwards, I apply one of my favourite masks from Freeman and let it dry. I really love using the clay mask to pull out all of the gunk from my pores, It really works great for me. Once it has dried, I wash it of with a wet flannel and once all the mask has been removed, I splash cold water on my face to close my pores, and then pat my face dry with a clean towel.





After drying my face, I apply my green tea face toner with a cotton ball. This is a really easy toner to make. You just need a clean bottle, then you add boiled water to the green tea in a bowl. After it's cooled down a bit, pour it in your bottle and place in the fridge to keep it fresh and cold. And voila, your very own home made toner!



Once the toner has soaked in and dried, I apply my Clean & Clear Pore Perfecting Moisturiser. I use this in my T-zone as my pores are quite big in that area of my face. I then go ahead and apply my Vaseline Dry Skin moisturiser to the rest of my face, down my neck and around my ears. 



I then moisturise my lips because my lips are always dry and crack really easily.


And last but not least I apply tea tree oil to my spots and voila. 


I hope you enjoyed this pamper routine and feel free to let me know what you use for your skin type. If you know of any good products for combination skin let me know down below, I would love to try some new things out. Have a great day!

Review: Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser

Hello everyone!

The Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser has been on my wishlist for quite a while as I have heard so many people raving about it. So here is what I think about this product. Enjoy!

To start off I bought mine at Walmart for $9.99 which is quite expensive for such a small tube of 20 ml (in my opinion). This product claims to make your skin look pore-less and smooth and it has a blur technology. 


The product is a clear gel formula and it feels somewhat powdery.


As you can see below, I have very large pores on the side of my nose. I applied the product on a freshly cleaned face and it glided on pretty smoothly. It did feel very oily on my skin though. I have combination skin so this was not unusual for me. I don't really believe this product does what it claims, I can still see most of my pores and they are barely 'blurred' at all. 




Overall, I think this product was not for me. I would not recommend this to people with very big pores as it does not hide them very well, on the other hand if you have smaller pores this should work fine for you. I hope you enjoyed this post and found it helpful. Feel free to leave a comment letting me know what you think of this product. See you soon! -Chloé
