Bedside Beauty

Theres not much more that will help me settle down for a good sleep then a little pamper before bed. The products i love using are...

Night Cream: Origins Night a Mins. This is a prefect moisturiser for me, its a thick cream with a gel like consistency. The cream sinks effortlessly into the skin ad leaves my skin super moisturised and smelling delicious! The cream has a chocolaty orange scent which only hangs around for a short while so its not something thats off putting! 

Eye Cream: This is something i use morning and night, its the Boots Botanics Radiant Youth Eye Cream. This cream is again one that just sinks into the skin and it doesn't leave a sticky residue. I apply this by squeezing a small amount onto my ring finger and pat it in all under my eye and up to my brow bone.

That extra treat: This is something i use when my skin can use that little extra pick me ups, Origins Drink up Intensive Overnight Mask - I have done a full review on this here and theres no denying that i love this stuff. It the easiest face mask to use and adds so much more subtleness to the skin!

Body - I love a good body butter and one of my favourites is The Body Shops body butter in Coconut its super thick and easily melts into the skin. Plus who doesn't like going to sleep, smelling like their on holiday!

Hands: My hands get really really dry in winter so i have to keep on top of hand cream, i have my little handbag hero Soap and Glory Hand Food on me at all times but i love to use this Figs & Rouge hand cream in Mango before bed for that little extra softness.

Hair: My boyfriend has a very annoying habit of twiddling my hair when were in bed and most would think arrhh. But no seriously he twiddles and leave knots all the time. So i use my Tangle Teezer every night before bed to make my hair as knot free as i possibly can

What is in your bedtime routine?

Origins - Drink Up Intensive

Origins Drink Up Mask, there is a lot of hype about this mask and honestly i can see why! A lot of time with face masks i neglect them because i am quite lazy with skin care and can never be bothered to sit for ten minutes - unless in the bath and then remove it again after but this mask if different!

This mask you apply at the very end of your skin care, and apply it thick and then go to bed and forget about it! The mask is a super hydrator and with all the beautiful natural ingredients the skin literally drinks it up and leaves the skin feeling like a babies bum!

I tend to get dry patches around my nose and at the beginning of my eyebrows which when i applied foundation made it look ten times worse, but i have noticed a big difference using this, my dry patches are near gone and my skin just looks and feels so much healthier. I have also found that i don't have to use a much foundation as i usually would.

All round this is a stunning mask, i wouldn't recommend for people with oily skin because it is super hydrating it may cause breakouts, but its great for my normal/combination skin!

It retails at £23 so its not the cheapest of masks but for what it brings to my skin i can see it being a staple for a long time!

New Year Skin Detox - Origins Clear Improvement Mask

So its about that time of year where everyone has probably eaten far too much really great tasting food and after all tis the season to be jolly so there may have been an odd tipple or two on the way! 

If your anything like me you don't think of what its doing to your skin until all those little pimples pop up to remind you! 

Thus drawing me into Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask. 'The active charcoal acts like a magnet to draw out deep-dwelling pore-cloggers'. So all those little nasties down deep in the skin can't pop up and surprise you as a spot! 

The mask also has ingredients such as White China which absorbs the toxins so you are literally wiping them out of your skin! and Lecithin which dissolves impurities which make it a whole lots easier for your skin to breathe! 

The directions say to open your pores with a warm moist towel and then apply the mask, so i tend to use this after using the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish - two birds one stone and all that!

I love this mask i leave it on for about 15 minutes and once removed my skin feels so much softer and revitalised! 

Have you tried any of the Origins Mask? Which is your favourite?

Lots of love
