LANCOME SKINCARE ROUTINE/FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

Since covid I’ve noticed a lot of women like me lost our way a bit with skincare.

My routine was Vichy and L’oreal.

After trying a fair few products I’ve managed to find some new routines that are brilliant for sensitive skin.

The first Routine in this series is Lancome.

I discovered it in their Christmas gifts.

Being a bit raw nerved because of changes it took me till May to discover and find trust in it.

You will be fine with this if you have sensitive skin.

Another bonus apart from it working is the packaging and colour of the product.

If you love feminine and pink roses this might be the one for you.

Also it is the old school cleanse, tone and moisurise routine; you can do the daily and nightly routine from your dressing table which makes it even more feminine.

Cleanse, Tone and Moisturise

All you do is apply the cleansing milk to your face, remove with toner on cotton wool balls or pads, then apply moisturiser.

I tend to use the milk in the morning and the cleansing mouse at night. You need to wash the mousse off.

Conclusion

Hope this is of use if you have struggled with your skincare routine like me since covid.

I have problematic skin so I have had to find a new routine.

This is my favourite so far, but I’ve found a lot of other products I rely on.

It is my favourite as my face looks moisturised and healthy after using the routine for the recommended time.

Some of my other products work better on my nose which is oily and I have a collection of cleansers for evening which I rotate.

These are the Lancome products I use daily.

They have a lot more products so worth a browse if you are looking for something different.

Will blog my other discoveries and are trying out new facial products on spa days.

Hope this helps as I know how awful it is since products have changed.

Will chart all my discoveries up for easy access and repeat purchase for you.
