This winter my skin has been horrible. I've ended up having to completely change my skincare routine. I've had a lot of breakouts and cystic acne. My skin has also been parched due to the freezing weather we've been having in Saskatchewan. I have combination skin, but in the winter it is extremely dry. Tea tree oil and sheet masks have been my best friend this month. I'll go through in order of how I use the products, and then at the end, I'll list some extra products I use when I deem necessary.
Garnier Micellar Water $8
I'm obsessed with Micellar Water as I think everyone else still is. It removes all my makeup, and I don't have to wash my face afterwards. It's relatively inexpensive, and it lasts quite a long time if you're only using it to remove eye makeup. It's not something I use every day, but if I'm wearing waterproof makeup or a lot of eyeliner, I'll use this before washing my face with my tea tree cleanser.
The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash $15
This has been a staple in my life for years. I've tried different cleansers, but I find this one to be the best. If I don't remove my makeup before washing my face, this cleanser gets all my makeup off. Tea tree oil is probably the best for acne prone skin. This cleanser doesn't sting like some other tea tree products do, which I really enjoy.
The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Toner $14
I don't always use a toner, but sometimes I notice my face getting a lot of redness or discolouration. I also like to use this if I don't use my tea tree skin cleanser and think I haven't taken all my makeup off my skin. The toner definitely has that sting that comes with some tea tree products, but after a while, that feeling goes away.
First Aid Beauty Lotion $35
I've been using this lotion daily since the day I purchased it. I have not strayed from it because this was the only moisturiser that doesn't irritate my skin. It might seem a little pricey but I use it twice a day, and I still haven't run out of it. I prefer scent-free lotions for my face because I feel it causes less irritation. I get bad texture and breakouts, but I found since I started using this cream they are not as bad.
Now let's move onto masks and face treatments. I use one of these every second night. I don't want to overdue it, so I try not to do a treatment every day. Before I use a mask, I always start with my tea tree toner because I want to make sure I have no makeup on my face and it is completely clean.
Dr. Jart+ Water Replenishment Cotton Sheet Mask $9
This is my favourite sheet mask of all time. My skin feels completely refreshed after I use it and I end up with beautiful glowing, dewy skin. If I could afford it, I would use this mask every day of my life.
Dr. Jart+ Pore Minimalist Black Charcoal Sheet Mask $9
I like to use this mask when I'm breaking out, or I feel like my skin just isn't looking the way I want it. I've never had clear skin, so I don't worry if I have a blemish or two. I tend to save these masks until my face starts breaking out horribly or my texture is starting to come back.
Glamglow Thirstymud Hydrating Treatment $79
This is by far my favourite Glamglow mask. I like to wear it overnight and wash it off in the morning. I like any mask that I don't have to worry about, and I don't have to think about washing it off in 20 minutes. I find this mask extremely hydrating and doesn't have a gross smell to it. It's quite expensive but seems to last a while if you just put a thin layer on your skin 2 to 3 times a week.
Glamglow Youthmud Tinglexfoliate Treatment $79
I like to use this mask about once a week. I don't like to over exfoliate my skin because it is already so dry and irritated. I find that using it once a week is enough to keep my skin brightened.
Sephora Collection Green Tea Sleeping Mask $5
This is the first mask I fell in love with. It completely mattifies my face and reduces redness in my skin. It's the most inexpensive mask I use, and it works just as well as some of the other ones. Sephora has 10 other sleeping masks, but this one is by far my favourite.
