I have never really gotten along with my skin, I mean I never got extremely bad acne or anything but between constantly being in the swimming pool and the fairness of my skin, my face has always been quite hard to look after. I have really sensitive skin, and over the past 8 or so weeks I have experimented with a lot of products and nearly all of them gave me rashes, redness and dryness all over my face. It was only a few weeks ago that I found a few products that I am super happy with and have calmed down my skin and really cleared it up!
So I thought I would share the products that I use on my face everyday with you, none of these products are going to break the bank and some are even under $10! So if you have sensitive skin I highly recommend all of these products!

| Eau Thermale Avene Cicalfate Restorative Skin Cream |
L'occitane Immortelle Oil Makeup Remover: This is the first product I use every night to get rid of all my makeup and it works extremely well. I was a bit scared of using an oil because I thought it might make me break out but I was pleasantly surprised by how easily it got rid of all my makeup (even waterproof mascara!) while leaving my skin clean, soft and not too oily.
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Gentle Exfoliating Facial Scrub: I usually use this scrub three times a week. It is strong enough to really get rid of that dry skin while not being so harsh that it leaves your skin red and sore. To make this scrub even better it only costs around $12 here is Australia making it the perfect exfoiliater for those who don't want to break the bank but still get the quality results.
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermo Cleanser: This cleanser is great because it leaves my skin feeling soft and clean without leaving any redness. It doesn't have a strong fragrance and it gets rid of any makeup that the oil may have missed. I use this cleanser every morning and night and it really keeps my skin nice and clean.
Kora Organics Calming Lavender Mist: This product is a more luxurious step in my night time skincare routine that isn't necessary if you don't like spending much money on skincare. I use this mist in replace of a toner and it is just really refreshing and has a lovely light lavender scent. I believe this product lives up to its claim that it is calming, and sometimes at night when i am doing homework or just laying around I like to use this and it quite revitalising.
Kora Organics Purifying Day & Night Cream: I use this moisturiser every morning after my cleanser before I apply my makeup. Ever since I have started using this moisturiser I have noticed such a difference in my skin. Every time I use it, it leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated. It's great for using in the morning because it immediately sinks into your skin and doesn't sit on your skin. This is definitely my favourite moisturiser I have ever used. It is on the pricier side for me, but I totally think it is worth it!
Eau Thermale Avene Cicalfate Restorative Skin Cream: I use this moisturiser every night after I cleanse because it is far thicker and takes a far longer time to sink into my skin than the Kora moisturiser does. I don't mind though because when I wake up in the morning my skin is soft and hydrated. I get really bad dry skin because I am constantly in a chlorinated pool, so this moisturiser is perfect to restore hydration in my skin.
The Body Shop Vitamin E Eyes Cube: I use this product every morning before I apply makeup and I find that it does help hydrate my under eye area as well as improve my dark circles. I have tried many eye creams and I have found that most react strangely with my skin and make my under eyes very itchy. This product is great because it gets rid of those under eye circles without damaging my skin and leaving it red.
Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub: I use this lip scrub nearly every morning before I apply my Body Shop lip balm and it leaves my lips nice and soft for the whole day. I love the lush lip scrubs and I especially like the popcorn flavour but I haven't seen it in a while!
Eau Thermale Thermal Spring Water: This product I put in my hand bag on hot days and I use if I am getting really hot or if I have got a little sunburn. I have really fair skin and it gets damaged by the sun easily so this product is perfect for summer in Australia when it gets extremely hot and sweaty!
