So many bloggers do 'my daily routine' posts and I'm joining the hoards so...sorry for being generic! Summer is a really important time to look after your skin and I have a few great products that I wanted to share with you. Click on the photos to read more/purchase!

I'm starting a new job so unfortunately won't be blogging as much, especially about beauty and fashion, so I thought I'd do one last post that isn't a recipe!

Soap & Glory Face Soap and Clarity

I use this every morning in the shower (except when I'm too tired to function), and it really does wake me up and set my skin up for the day. It's got little pink beads which gently exfoliate and vitamin C in it which is always good, and makes your face feel super clean, like a shot of energy. It smells really fresh and soapy too, which I think works well in the morning because you don't want anything with a strong fragrance when you've just crawled out of bed. I recommended it to my housemate and now she uses it too!

Dermalogica Skin Prep Scrub

This is a pretty pricey product (check out that alliteration, spot the English graduate) but it is worth every penny - I've got a small tube that I've had for maybe 2 years and it's not running out any time soon. I use it once or twice a week and it does exactly what it promises, leaving your skin smooth and glowing. I usually moisturise after using this because it's actually designed to make your skin absorb moisturiser better. What more could you want from a face scrub? Honestly, invest in this. It doesn't have an artificial smell or colour and feels so natural and full of good stuff.

Calcot Manor The Perfect Day Body Scrub

I recently picked this up in the supermarket because I got a bit sunburnt a few weeks ago, and the sunburn inevitably turned into very peely skin! I've now got completely addicted to this body scrub and use it every day in the morning. It's got a refreshing citrusy scent and gets rid of all those dead skin cells to make you all glowy. Really good for summer skin and for those of you who fake tan, I reckon this would be good for prepping as well. You can use it on wet skin or, if you want a more intense scrub, to dry skin and then rinse it off in the shower.

Dove Silk Glow Body Wash

I got this purely because it was on offer, rather than my usual Original Source shower gel, but I really love it. It's probably the first body wash I've had that doesn't make me instantly reach for the moisturiser post-shower, because it feels like it is literally seeping into your skin and leaves it feeling soft and nourished. They aren't lying on the description! I like that it doesn't smell of anything in particular too, just a comforting soapy smell. I don't know to what extent it's making my skin glow but it's definitely making it softer. Go Dove for sticking to simple ideas and doing it well.

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser

My mum is responsible for getting me into Liz Earle products, and I now can't go to bed without using this cleanser in the evening. It gets my makeup off, even waterproof mascara, and has banished any spots from my face; my skin is just generally in much better condition. Using a hot cloth is so relaxing as well, which is why I only use it at night rather than twice a day - in the morning I don't usually have time and it would also make me want to go back to sleep! I also use the Gentle Face Exfoliator a few times a week afterwards for some extra cleansing, especially when I've been in London (the air is literally dirty there I swear).

Nivea Daily Essentials Regenerating Night Cream

I don't use this every night because it really does sit on your skin, so I only use it when I feel like my skin needs serious moisturisation while I'm sleeping, or to prepare for a long day wearing makeup. My skin isn't very dry in general but this is really good for when it needs a bit of TLC. Definitely worth having if you have dry skin but it's also just really good for every day hydration and it has Vitamin E, which is supposedly really good for your skin. 

So that's it! I hope you enjoyed a small insight into what I'm putting on my face on a regular basis. Feedback is welcome as always!
