Skincare Routine for Dry Skin

Hello Everyone! So Sally recently did her routine for oily skin and I figured it would be best to do my routine for dry skin. That way we have covered a nice variety to help you lovely people find a routine that will help you achieve your skincare goal. Now by no means am I saying this routine is the best routine and if you aren't using these products you are missing out but this is what works for me, and fits into my price range. (added bonus in my books) Anyway, before I continue to ramble on I will just let you watch the video, and below I will re-list the products that I mentioned, their price and where I found them. Enjoy!

Presidents Choice Sensitive Baby Wipes - $5 (tin) $4 (248 wipe refills) - Zehrs

Burts Bees Cleansing Cream - $10 - Walmart

Burts Bees Citrus Facial Scrub - $5 - Target (NY)

Freemans Anti-Stress Dead Sea Mask - $4 - Zehrs

Bio Oil - $10 - Walmart

Simple Replenishing Rich Moisturizer - $8 - Walmart

I hope that this routine helped you and I'd love for you to suggest any products for me to try or even some products that you commonly use! Like they say in every proactive ad, clear skin is sexy skin, but I believe if you have reached your skin care goal you will have loads more confidence and be able to shine! 

So... shine on you crazy diamond!

Garnier BB Cream

So I have recently jumped on the bandwagon of this latest trend which has been popular in East Asia for years now, the BB Cream (or beauty balm cream). I haven't been using any heavy foundations lately, mostly a tinted moisturizer and I figured I'd give this a go!

I will give you a brief description of what Garnier likes to advertise for their BB Cream. They claim it is the miracle skin perfecter with 5 benefits. "It corrects, brightens, evens, is a UV protector and hydrates." I got the shade Light/Medium and it retails for about $18 at Walmart.

My first impression of the cream was it had a pleasant smell. I can't describe it too much but it does slightly remind me on a floral soap scent, but it isn't too strong and disperses fairly quickly. Straight from the tube it looks too dark, which made me slightly worried that it wouldn't match my skin since I am quite fair but once blended into the face it matches perfectly.

I have recently figured out that my skin type is more normal to dry and I find that this helps a lot. It makes you look really fresh, and I have often had people tell me I look flawless when I am wearing it. I have noticed that lately my skin has also looked brighter from using it and it doesn't clog my pores, which is a huge bonus for me.

All in all I would suggest giving it a shot! I absolutely love it and it has made a nice home in my daily makeup routine.

What are your thoughts on BB Creams? Leave me a comment.
