Getting ready in the morning always begins with a refreshing shower and some well needed self care! Every item I use is affordable but brilliant in doing what it intends to do. Whether it be giving me super smooth skin, a deep clean or a gorgeous smell, they help motivate me to be as well as can be! Discover here what they are…

Good Morning Lovelies, 

Whilst showering this morning, I was inspired to create this blog post. Looking around my shower room, I could see all of the products I use every morning. Without them, I simply don’t feel right. I feel like I’m not ready for the day. So, I decided that I would share the items that make my life complete. 

From the moment I go into my bathroom, these products prepare to be used, working their ultimate magic…

Bioré Clear & Bright Jelly Cleanser Face Wash: I discovered this product in Sainsbury’s when it was reduced to clear. It’s completely changed my skin for the better. Starting every day washing my face with this makes me feel so refreshed. I’m about to try a charcoal version, which I will let you know how it goes.

My Little Coco Coconut Shampoo & Conditioner: Due to my condition, my hair has become very thin. When it grows back, I get a lot of baby hairs. This makes my hair super fragile. Using this shampoo leaves my hair super smooth, perfectly curled and smelling amazing. I can’t get enough of it!

L'Oréal Paris Elvive Dream Lengths Wonder Water: Another discovery that I uncovered in the reduced aisle of Tesco’s. I can’t get over the magic that this water has done to my hair. It smells lush, goes on super easy and washes itself out under the water in no time as all. You don’t need a lot to make a difference.

Aldi Coconut & Shea Butter Shower Gel: I used to use the branded version of this but switched when I saw this was around 50p cheaper. It is the same size, has the same smell and leaves my skin super soft. After the first try, there was no going back. 

Neutrogena Clear & Defend Moisturiser: On top of the cleanser, as soon as I step out of the shower, when my face is still damp, I apply this moisturiser. Putting it on whilst my skin is damp means the cream is absorbed better. If I have any pimples, this cream removes them in no time. It soothes dry, sore skin. I’ve used it for years and can’t use anything else now. 

L'Oreal Elvive Dream Lengths No Haircut Cream: Finally, I apply this cream to the ends of my hair, before brushing into my plaits that I wear everyday. This leave in cream makes my hair super smooth in between haircuts. In fact, I haven’t had one in ages and you wouldn’t know because of this cream.

Of course, I use deodorant (an Aldi roll on), toothpaste, an electric toothbrush and perfume daily too, however, these are my beauty essentials. Many of them are under £5, so they are affordable too. You truly don’t have to spend a fortune to find a fantastic product lovelies! What are your morning routine essentials?
