I thought I’d share a little bit of my skincare routine. Now I must admit that my skin has a mind and will of its own and I’ve had a lot of trouble with it! When I was a lot younger I had acne and I still have random breakouts which simply stated really sucks. I would say I have normal combination skin, but I also have periods when I’m just really oily. I tend to just try a bunch of projects and what seems to help keep my skin clear, I’ll stick to. I’ve also noticed though that my skin can get used to certain products and then they won’t work as well as they did when I first started to use them. So what do I use?

1. Murad Clarifying Cleanser  - This stuff is pretty good when it comes to keeping my skin clear. I’m not claiming that I have no problems whatsoever since I have been using this, but I think that it does help. If anything if gives my skin a fresh minty feeling (do you know what I mean?) and it doesn’t dry my skin out. This I buy on StrawberryNET because I find it a little pricey in some of the shops I’ve seen it in.
2. Purity One-step Facial Cleanser - I use this when I want to take off my make-up, it works like a charm. I bought this one while I was in Paris, but I think it’s available at your local Sephora. It’s thick and creamy and cleans very well without drying my skin out. Approved. Loved. Repurchase.
3. Biotherm Aqua Source (Gel)  - I like to wear a lightweight day cream most of the time because the last thing I want is to have a greasy/slippery base for my makeup. I’ve used Biotherm for years, and to me it’s just a go-to day cream. I must say this though, I was shocked to find out how cheap Biotherm is in the States compared to the Netherlands (or Europe)! When I lived in the States, I think I bought 3 pots of this cream because it was so cheap in my eyes. So my tip? Buy this stuff when you are in the States, I believe that it’s only available on their online shop because I didn’t see it in any of the stores. (Let me just give you a rundown of the prices: Aqua Source Gel is $36 which is around €27 whereas it’s sold at ICI Paris XL in the Netherlands for €36!)
4. Dr. R.A.Eckstein Carotin Feuchtigheits Creme - This was one of the first things I received with the GlossyBox and I was very skeptical at first, but let me tell you something: I am in love with this cream! I use it as a night cream and it has really helped calm down my skin. I will tell you something else: I have no idea why. The cream is very thick and ideal for the winter months, which would usually mean that it’s too strong for my skin. As I said I usually have normal combination skin, and not really dry skin. I am happy with the ‘results’ and so I’ll keep using it as my night cream from now on! The only downside? It’s only available at skin specialists … so if I want a new one, I’ll have to go and find out where exactly.
5. Clarisonic Pro  - I had wanted one of these for a very long time. What stopped me? The price tag. However, when I visited the IMATS last year there was a Clarisonic stand and I was able to get a very very good deal! I used it every other day when I was in the States, and when I came back I sort of forgot about it. I have no idea why because I love it. After watching a youtube review with my friend, I decided to start using it again. I haven’t found out which brush I like best (right now I am using for acne I believe) but I love that my skin is soooo smooth after using it. True baby bottom soft.

This was a selected of my daily skin care products, I sometimes switch around what I use when my skin is acting up (or looks great haah!). Would you guys like to see a daily makeup post? Maybe a video?
