My skincare routine is pretty simple. I wash my face with a hot cloth cleanser, tone and then moisturise. This is what I do on a daily basis. Once a week, I like to treat myself to a face mask as well. As my skin has been quite good recently, I have found that I don’t really need to use any blemish clearing clay masks. Instead, I’ve been opting for sheetmasks.

Sheet masks

I have quite dry skin, which gets worse in the winter. Sometimes I do forget to moisturise which doesn’t always help the condition of my skin. Every so often, I feel like my skin needs a bit of a boost so I will find myself a sheet mask that can do just that. Notino have such a great range and I am excited that they have quite a few Asian beauty brands on there too. Recently, I’ve picked up a few different masks to try out.

The Holika Holika watermelon sheet mask is one that I am really looking forward to trying. I love anything watermelon scented and this one is cooling and moisturising. This is exactly what I need when my skin is feeling a bit dry and delicate.

The Kocostar sunflower sheet mask is another one that really intrigues me. The actual mask has sunflowers printed all over it. I don’t usually use printed masks, they are often just plain white. It actually comes as two sheets with 6 patches on each. You peel off the patches and apply them where you think you need them. This seems a lot easier than a normal sheet mask which is often too big for my face! Similarly, I picked up the banana sheet mask too. I’m really looking forward to using these and seeing the effect that they have on my dull, dry skin.

The Missha Tea Tree mask is one that I picked up just in case I get a break out. Tea tree is great for problem skin, but mine is fine at the moment. I love the Missha masks and have used quite a few varieties since I first discovered them. I have found that the Asian beauty sheet masks are way better than the Western ones and there is such a great variety available!

Toothpaste

Something else that I like to treat myself to is toothpaste. I really don’t like the taste of minty toothpaste and I often find that it makes me gag, especially first thing in the morning. Since discovering Marvis toothpastes, I have never used another brand. This month I picked up the Black Forest flavour which I am yet to try and the Jasmine Mint. I am also a big fan of the Cinnamon Mint which I tried out last year. Although there is still a hint of mint in the Jasmine Mint, the jasmine overpowers it and tastes delicious. These actually make me look forward to brushing my teeth, whereas before I dreaded it.

Have you tried any of these brands?
