Question by Amarra Kuraishi: How to start a day/night skin care routine?
Hey, im 21 so i thought it’s about time i create a skin care routine. I am happy with how my skin is and i have never had to use anything but water on it and Johnson’s baby lotion to remove make up and it’s been fine all my life, never had major spot breakouts or acne. The thing is, ive heard thats 20′s is the best age to begin using anti aging creams and i want to maintain my skin condition, also lately i’ve noticing a few blemishes. So i thought if i’m going to work on that i may aswell create a whole routine too.
So here are my questions:
1. I don’t know what my skin type is, it gets dry after i wash it and feels tight until i moisturise it and then it is balanced. It gets greasy in areas such as under my eyes, the sides of my nose (where i get redness and small spots), between my eyebrows and below my bottom lip. Dry in areas such as my cheeks, forehead, bridge of my nose, under chin. Is it combination skin? or dry? oily?
2. I have no idea what products to use, i want something i can use daily in the morning and something i can use daily at night preferably an anti aging cream. And also, not too expensive because i simply can’t afford the big names!
Someone told me Neutrogena is best.
Thanks in advance guys! x

Hello! If you’re going to start a skincare routine, there’s no point in spending ridiculous amounts of money on skincare products. You can buy inexpensive ones which are just as reliable if not more. I love Simple products because they have no perfume or colour in there products so they shouldn’t cause irritation to your skin. Always keep in mind that anti-ageing skincare products are usual more pricey than others. Here’s what you should be using;
Cleansing facial wash (to use every morning (atleast) if not every evening too) – http://www.boots.com/en/Simple-Regeneration-Age-Resisting-Facial-Wash-150ml_861126/
Exfoliating facial wash (to use 2 x week max) – http://www.boots.com/en/Simple-Smoothing-Cleansing-Scrub-75ml_4803/
Cleansing wipes (for taking off makeup, and for using if you can’t wash your face) – http://www.boots.com/en/Simple-Cleansing-Facial-Wipes-25_784/
Day moisturiser (use every day, this moisturiser has vitamins and sun protection which prevents skin ageing) – http://www.boots.com/en/Simple-Vital-Vitamin-Day-Cream-with-Sunscreen-50ml_954462/
Night moisturiser/Anti-Ageing (use every night) – http://www.boots.com/en/Simple-Regeneration-Age-Resisting-Night-Renewal-50ml_5227/
Optional/Witch Stick, for when you get spots/blemishes -http://www.boots.com/en/Witch-Stick_6161/
I hope this helps. Sorry for such a long answer! xx
