Day 2 - Simple Skincare

One of my favourite skincare brands is Simple, I have sensitive skin and so finding products that I can use that won’t affect my skin can be difficult. Simple are one of those brands that you can always trust, they’re affordable, and well…simple. I do love the fact that they aren’t heavily scented and they do what they say they will. Simple have many different ranges for all kinds of skin and don’t use harsh chemicals, and so I find their products really easy to get on with. I have given links to the individual products below.

I decided to round up my top 5 Simple products and give a mini review of each, although I have only chosen five products that I love, there are plenty of other great products available too. Simple wipes are great and don’t irritate my skin, and their face washes are also very good.

The first product I’m going to talk about is their deep cleansing face mask. This mask is great for when you need to cleanse your face in a hurry, you only need to leave the mask on for a couple of minutes and then you can wipe it straight off. I tend to prefer masks that harden and can be left on for a longer period of time, but this mask is easy to use and fast, and makes your skin feel clean and fresh. The mask has a weird consistency, almost like Greek yoghurt, and it seems to absorb into the skin, but regardless it does the job and doesn’t irritate my skin.

I also love the Simple oil balancing moisturiser. I find that it is very lightweight and feels very fresh when applying it to your face. This moisturiser isn’t necessarily something to shout about, and it probably isn’t very exciting, but it does the job that it’s supposed to do and leaves your skin feeling clean and moisturised. 

One of my favourite products to use in the summer is the Simple protecting moisture cream. The bottle that this product comes in is very handy for travelling and has a pump which I find makes the application more hygienic and makes the moisturiser easier to dispense. The moisturiser is very lightweight and lasts a long time, and more importantly contains SPF 30. I have very fair skin and burn easily in summer, and so having a moisturiser with a fairly high SPF makes it much easier to protect my skin, because I don’t have to try and remember to put sun cream onto my face. I really really like this moisturiser and I think it is a great summer beauty staple (although it is great to use all year round).

Probably my favourite of the Simple products that I own is the moisture boost hydro mist. Although this product seems somewhat useless at first, I just love it. It makes my face feel so clean, fresh and hydrated and it’s perfect to use when you need a little pick me up. Okay, so perhaps this mist is a novelty in some ways and doesn’t actually improve your skin, but I’ve used up two bottles of this stuff already and it makes my skin feel much better.

My final favourite is the revitalising eye roll on. I get very puffy and dry under my eyes, and early mornings don’t help this, so this eye roll on is great to make your eyes feel refreshed and hydrated. The product comes in a small tube, but has a metal roller ball attached to the end which makes your eyes feel very revitalised. It is easy enough to dispense the product, as you simply need to squeeze the tube. This is a very affordable eye gel that gets the job done, and I can really recommend it.

If you haven’t already tried any Simple products then I suggest that you go and check them out, there are so many products available and so you are bound to find something that suits your skin type. Simple products can be found in Boots, Superdrug and many Supermarkets as well.
