Over the weekend, I kept note of all the skin, hair and body products I used (like a food diary, but far more fun!). To be quite honest, I was quite shocked by just how many were apart of my routine from Friday night to Sunday, especially seeing as though I've simplified my skincare regime of late to get back to basics since I was experiencing unusual sensitivity over the last couple of months. Who knew one needed so many products?

FRIDAY NIGHT:

7:05PM - Date night with Brad. I spray the Jurlique Calming Mist onto my face to add hydration and apply a slick of the Lanolips Lip Ointment with Colour in Rose over my nude lipstick after a long working day. A quick mist of the Chloé Signature EDP and we're out the door.
9:45PM - Just got home from dinner. Taking off my eye makeup with the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water, cleansing with the Philosophy Purity 3-in-1 Cleanser, and applying The Jojoba Company 100% Natural Jojoba + Rosehip Oil and Philosophy Renewed Hope in a Jar Dry.
10:10PM - Bed time.  I apply the  Lanolips 101 Ointment to my lips, Elemis British Botanical Body Cream and  massage Smith & Co. Everyday Unwind Hand Balm by The Aromatherapy Co. into my hands. The lavender scent of the Body Cream and Hand Balm also relaxes my mind.

SATURDAY:

7:30AM - Enjoyed a sleep-in. Got up, washed with the Eco by Sonya Foaming Body Wash and rinsed my face with warm water.
7:40AM - Out of the shower and applying the Philosophy When Hope Is Not Enough Replenishing Oil and  Dermalogica Total Eye Care SPF 15. Off to the shops to pick up a few things, so I use the Philosophy No Reason To Hide Instant Skin-Tone Perfecting Moisturizer.
9:15AM - Lips are feeling dry so I apply the Lanolips 101 Ointment (and make a much needed coffee!).
11:50AM - I whip out my Lanolips Hand Cream with Antibacterial.
5:00PM - Heading out to our friends' place tonight for homemade pizza. I spray the  Jurlique Calming Mist as my skin looks dehydrated.
11:05PM - Home. After using the  Philosophy Purity 3-in-1 Cleanser , I do an overnight treatment with the Alpha H Liquid Gold ( love this stuff!) and  Philosophy Renewed Hope in a Jar Dry . I also apply a prescription cream to my neck, where I have a diminishing rash from a recent allergic reaction to something (whatever that is - le sigh).
11:15PM - Snuggled in our new sheets, I use the  Lanolips 101 Ointment on my lips again, and massage in the delicious smelling Burt's Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme and Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream.

SUNDAY:

6:30AM - Struggling to wake up, I jump into the shower. I wash with the Lush Olive Branch Shower Gel and shave my legs with the Venus Swirl. Time to exfoliate with the Elemis Skin Nourishing Body Scrub and a mitt.
6:50AM - Tanning day using the Rimmel London Sun Shimmer Self Tan Mousse in Medium Matte and the Tanning Mitt. It dries almost instantly, so I can get dressed straight away.
7:10AM - I apply the Grown Alchemist Age-Repair Moisturiser and  Dermalogica Solar Defense Booster SPF 50 to my face before makeup.
8:00AM - I use the  Toni&Guy Glamour Sky High Volume Dry Shampoo and VO5 Give Me Texture Dry Texturising Spray on my hair, and brush it through with my  Lady Jayne Brush. I also apply a sprinkling of the VO5 Give Me Texture Instant Oomph Powder for extra volume.
7:50PM - Just enjoyed a lamb rack for dinner courtesy of Chef Brad (what a guy!). Time for a shower. As per usual, I   cleanse with the  the  Philosophy Purity 3-in-1 Cleanser . I lather up with the  Lush Olive Branch Shower Gel (determined to finish it - fail) and then wash my hair with the VO5 Give Me Texture Shampoo and Conditioner. I also apply the Puretopia Pure Treatment Hair Mask for super soft locks.
10:30PM - Brad just ran into the markets to buy some fresh veggies for the week, so I use the time to apply the  Lanolips Hand Cream with Antibacterial.
8:15PM - I spray the NAK Aromas Argan Oil Spray through my towel-dried hair, focussing on the ends and then brush it through. I put my hair in a plait.
8:20PM - As usual, I press the  Philosophy When Hope Is Not Enough Replenishing Oil into my skin and massage in the  Philosophy Renewed Hope in a Jar Dry . I'm beginning to realise just how much I love this brand.
8:40PM - Before I jump into bed, I use the  Elemis British Botanical Body Cream to prolong my tan and nourish my typically dry skin. My in-bed beauty ritual begins with the  Lanolips 101 Ointment and ends with  Burt's Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme. Time for zzz's.
