An Easy Skincare Routine For Combination Skin*

Contains PR samples

I have a very large skincare box, I mean it’s an incredible pile and probably my second favourite box (the first is probably my highlighter palettes because we all know I like to glow. Anyway, currently I’ve been mixing up my skincare routine, and right now I’ve found a happy balance with my routine. Especially with the weather getting a lot colder, my combination skin is pretty much having a field day trying to mess everything up. So what products, have I got in my current routine, does it work and does my skin feel any better?

Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel*

I have been using this religiously and honestly I love it so much. I have combination skin, but when my skin really dries out, I always worry that it is going to look like it’s been flaking off. This cleansing gel is so soft on the skin, it leaves your skin feeling so clean and fresh!

Pixi Glow Tonic

I adore glow tonic, it has been a holy grail for me for a while, I adore the way it makes my skin feel, and since using this for the past year and a half, I’ve noticed a massive difference in the way my make up applies and not only that it really helps with my break outs as I am prone to a lot of break outs – especially on my nose.

Yes To Daily Repair Treatment*

I use this as a serum before putting my moisturiser on mainly because I love the way it helps my spots, I love that it helps to balance my skin (especially when it is really really dry) and it has helped to even out my skin tone!

Tropic Skincare Pure Lagoon Blemish Prevention Serum*

I’ve been using this for the last couple of weeks, depending on how I’m feeling I’ll either add it to my moisturiser or I’ll use it as a serum instead of the daily repair. This serum honestly smells so damn good, and I can feel it working on the skin. Now I haven’t tried it long enough to give a massive review on it, but it doesn’t dry my skin out, it is feels really comfortable on my skin and has all of the good stuff you need!

Dermalogica Oil Free Matte SPF 30*

I love this moisturiser, as someone who has combination skin, when my skin is really oily this moisturiser really helps to control it! If you’re also the kind of person that is looking for a really good moisturiser to go under make up and you struggle with oils, then you need to check this one out! It leaves your skin feeling so soft and I feel like I notice a massive difference when I wear this under make up, my make up doesn’t slip off my face.

Dermalogica Breakout Clearing Booster*

I love this product, I’ve actually talked about this before on my blog but because I love it so much! I get spots regularly, I have incredibly spot prone skin, however since using it, I’ve noticed that my spots are clearing up quicker!

Dermalogica Sound Sleep Cocoon*

I love a good moisturiser, especially a night cream, and this one is wonderful, not only that the smell is so good! If you’re a lover of lavender/chamomile scented products, you will love this! It really does moisturise my skin so well as well, and I’ve noticed an improvement in the texture of my skin. I get a lot of texture especially in the colder months, so this is really helping my skin, it feels refreshed and soft when I wake up in the morning!

    Really nice routine! I’m still swapping and changing mine at the moment to find the best products. Before I went on steroids last year I had my AM & PM routines sorted and they worked brilliantly for me. Then my skin got messed up with the high dose steroids but as I’ve been tapering them my skin is different again. It’s very similar to when I had dry/sensitive skin but now it’s more normal/dry and not as sensitive. I’m still searching for the perfect routine for me, so it’s been great getting to try out new products but I’ll be happier once I find new AM & PM routines 🙂

    I love love love Dermalogica products! The Multivitamin Thermafoliant is the ~only~ product that stops my skin from being flakey as heck and it’s so lovely when it warms up as you apply.

      The sleep cocoon is amazing, I’d definitely recommend! xxxx

  • Great list – I actually haven’t tried out any of them before! I’ll have to try out the “Dermalogica oil free matte” moisturiser though, it actually sounds perfect for me! I have quite oily skin, so it’s definitely worth for me to look into. Thanks for sharing! 🙂

  • Sahara says:

    When the weather gets colder that’s usually when my skincare routine gets some new editions too! I’m not really sure what my skin type is, but I believe I have normal to dry skin, may need someone from Sephora to help clarify for me haha. I’ve heard great things about the Pixi Glow Tonic, I usually have a lot of breakouts too so I may need to do some searching for this, thank you for mentioning that it helps out with breakouts!

    I usually just use my regular day moisturizer for night but I’ll have to look into this Sound Sleep Cocoon one!

    My skincare routine is cleanse & moisturize every morning and night and two times a week I do a glamglow face mask 🙂

  • The only product here that I’ve tried is Glow Tonic but it doesn’t really work for me as my skin is really sensitive to glycolic. Dermalogica sound like a great brand x
