The Only Skincare Products You Need This Winter

My skin is generally normal to dry so during winter it gets super dry and I have to swap up the skincare products I use. I also suffer with eczema on my face so have to use over the counter products as they're the only things that help.

I have a 6 step nightly routine so here is everything I use in the order I use them:

First Cleanse

I like to double skin, the first one is to remove my makeup. For this I like the brightening hot cloth cleanser from Superdrug's Naturally Radiant range. It's really soft, removes makeup and makes me skin smooth.

Second Cleanse

Then to really wash my face I use the cleanser called Purity by Philosophy. This is one of my holy grail products and has been in my routine for over a year now. You only need the tinest amount and it goes a long way. It's super gentle on the eye area so can use it to remove mascara.

Toner

This is another holy grail product I've been using for a while and also quite a cult product I believe. It's the Glow Tonic by Pixi. I like it because unlike other toners it's not drying. It gets rid of any last makeup or dirt on my face and gives a nice glow to the skin.

Hydrocortisone from Derma Care by Boots

This is the over the counter product I use on my eyelids and lips as I suffer with extreme dryness and flaky skin. A little goes a long way and it's the only thing that gets rid of my eczema.

Serum

Then I use the Dragon's blood serum by Nip & Fab. This is really hydrating and I like to put it on after the toner everywhere except my eyes as I like to use the eye cream there.

Facial Oil

Lastly I use a facial oil. I've been a fan of these for a long time now as they're so good for dry skin. This one is the Vitamin E one by Superdrug and again a little goes a long way. I use it everywere and even rub over my hands after.

What do you use on your skin to get it through the cold winter months?

My Favourite Looks From Fashion Week

Last month was 'Fashion Month' with showcases and catwalks taking place each week in different locations across London, New York, Paris and Milan. Although I have been attending London Fashion Week for several years now, this time around I was in California and unfortunately could not attend any shows. However, that did not stop me from catching up once I was back from my trip to check out all the latest trends. I was also browsing the Esprit website and noticed they had some awesome pieces just like the trends seen on the runway last month. Here are some of my favourites that I think are going to be hot this season and where you can copy the looks for less! Floral prints at Gucci. You can shop the look for less here . All black at Marc Jacobs. Shop the look for less here . Bows at Chloe. Shop the look for less here . Sparkles at Alexander McQueen. Shop the look for less here . Not only does Esprit do runway trends for

New Year, New You

As with every New Year, we make resolutions (you can see mine in my last post) but I think for most of us it's about becoming a newer and better person than we were last year. I've come up with a few ways we can make little changes to become a newer and better you. New Hair I've said in many of my posts how much I like to change my hair and you can read about my hair dying experience here and my hair extensions experience here . However, it needn't be a drastic change, just a little trim and some subtle highlights . Whenever I change my hair I always feel like a new woman! New Wardrobe The New Year is probably the best time to invest in some new clothes because there are so many sales on. You don't even have to spend a lot of money, I love affordable brands such as Esprit which do really on trend pieces at high street prices. With a new wardrobe you will not only feel better but look better too! New Hobby The New Year is a gre

How to Wear a Pink Lip

Wearing a pink lip can sometimes be quite hard, especially if it's a rather bright and vibrant shade but I think it looks so lovely for this time of the year. My favourite shade of pink is Impassioned by MAC . It's very bright and has such a creamy texture that it glides on really well and stays put for quite a few hours. I find I never have to wear a lip liner with this one either. When wearing a pink lip I think it's important to get the rest of your make up right so that you don't look washed up and colours don't clash. So starting off with the skin I would get myself nice and tanned. My favourite tanners at the moment are the Superdrug Solait tan in dark and also Tan Truth which you can get from Sally's Salon Services. Where I have just come back from Ibiza I have still got a bit of a tan so every few days I use the St Tropez Everyday gradual tanner and this helps top up my tan slightly. Then you've got to get the make-up right so
