First Impressions: Aveeno Calm and Restore Skincare Range

Skincare has always been an important part of my daily rituals and routines. Over the years I have found what my skin likes and what it doesn’t like. I’ve learnt that my skin can be senstive and dry whilst still having the occassional breakout and oily t-zone. I occasionally suffer from some rednesss from time to time too, particularly around my nose and cheeks. However, as soon as I think I’ve mastered a routine that has my skin looking it’s best, my skin adapts and doesn’t like it anymore. So, especially now that I’m closer to 30 than 21 I’ve taken it upon myself to try out new routines every so often so my skin doesn’t have time to get too used to products.

It’s finally February and although it may seem like there isn’t much to look forward to - this month blesses us with both Valentines Day and Pancake day! I especially love both of these occasions because they both usually mean lots of scrummy food. I get to eat heart filled chocolates one day and then pancakes slavered in syrup the next. Perfect!
