All about skincare for normal skin

Hi everyone,

Todays post is the last in mine and Amy's summer collaboration. I honestly cant believe that we have worked our way through the whole of July. I have loved writing these posts and we both hope that you have enjoyed reading them. Many of you who have been reading for sometime now will know how much I love my skincare. If you are a new reader, you are about to find out. I have a major love for all things skin, its my guilty pleasure you may say. So for this last joint post we our working on skincare. I am aiming mine at normal skincare as that is what my skin type is. So here we go.

A few basics about my skin.

So like I have mentioned above I have normal skin but it is a mixture with combination. By this I mean my skin is not dry but it is not oily either. It is just the right balance. I have to say I am very lucky with my skin and don't have too much trouble with it. I do suffer with acne/blemishes. Which I wrote a similar post on, that you will find here. As I have explained in my other post I have tried nearly every product out there and I am still currently on the hunt for new ones. But I do purchase all my products with my own money. I am not saying that products and treatments that I have tried will or will not work for you. But they are what work for me.

Signs of normal skin.

Normal skin as I said above is where your skin is not oily yet not dry. You may find that you suffer with some dry or oily patches but it will not affect you whole skin. Also with normal skin you tend not to find you suffer with any imperfections on your skin. I have acne/blemishes but this is because my skin can get oily.

Ways to help this skin type.

Normal skin is nice and easy to care for. As you don't have any imperfections you do not require any specific treatments for your skin. So here are a few ways to care for your skin type:

- Drink plenty of water

- Treat yourself to regular facials

- Use products that work for your skin

- Do a morning and evening skincare routine EVERYDAY

- Cant afford to pay for a facial treatment, do an at home DIY one instead

Treatments/products for normal skin.

If you read my blog you will know that I love NYR products. So yes they are the products I am going to be recommending but there are so many out there you just need to find what works for you. I just find NYR products best for me. So here are my recommendations...

- Rose facial wash

- Rehydrating rose toner

- Rehydrating rose facial polish

- Almond moisturiser

As you can see I haven't recommended any treatment products, but just the basic products you will need on a day to day basis. I do use treatment products, if you would be interested in seeing what I use, you can see them here for my morning routine and here for my evening routine.

Products to avoid.

With normal skin there is no products I think you should really avoid, I try everything. My advice is try everything, if you feel a product isn't working for you, stop it. If a product is working for you, keep using it and see what the benefits are. Its all about trying things out, don't be scared, just go for it.

So that is my skincare post for normal skin. What did you think? Have you got any other advice that I forgot? Let me know in the comments. I would just like to say a massive thank you to the lovely Amy who has shared this experience with me. Also a massive thank you to all you wonderful people that read my blog. I hope that you have enjoyed this summer series from me and Amy. If you want us to do more let us know in the comments. If you want to see Amy's skincare post I think she is posting it sometime this week. So keep an eye out on her blog for that. Have a absolutely wonderful week.

Love
