This post has been a long time coming, I have just been so caught up blogging about prettier things! But, the time is nigh! A balanced skin care routine that is tailored to your individual needs is vital to maintain the health and appearance of your skin. And with your skin being your largest organ, it definitely should be looked after!
Not everything will work for everyone, and this post is just about what works for me - so keep that in mind when reading!
Hope you enjoy!
