#2014BloggerChallenge Week 2 - Skincare

So, this weeks theme for the #2014BloggerChallenge is skincare! As I've told you about both my Morning Skincare routine: http://beths-secrets.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/my-morning-skincare-routine.html and nighttime skincare routine: http://beths-secrets.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/my-night-time-skincare-routine.html recently I thought that I would tell you about my shower routine that I have to try and get the rest of my body in as good a condition as I can. 

I tend to have long showers, I don't mean to I just get distracted thinking about the world and end up in there for normally at least 30 minutes. So, in terms of skincare or bodycare (?) the first product that I'll use is the Dirty Works Buttery Salt Scrub which is probably a dupe of a Soap & Glory scrub, however at a much lower price. I think I purchased this in Sainsbury's for a mere £2.50 which for the quantity is insane. It's a good product providing a decent amount of exfoliation and it smells lovely!

The second product I use in my routine is the Dove Bodywash Silk which I got on offer in Boots for £2.50. I love this product, I used it a lot a few years back but recently rediscovered it and therefore rediscovered my love for this. I find that it leaves my skin with quite a lovely glow and it's not hugely expensive for the amount that you get. It smells great and it moisturises my skin a little!

If I'm shaving my legs, I'll use a cheap conditioner because it leaves my legs feeling softer and less dry than if I used a shaving gel. I just use a reasonably cheap razor, one of the Bic Pure 3 Lady Pack 4 Triple Razor that are like £2.20 for for four. I don't really see the point in buying expensive razors because I use so many other products that leave my legs just as soft, however I would like to try one of the electric razors some day!

The final product that I use in the shower on my body is the Palmolive Naturals Nourishing Shower Milk in Honey which is ridiculously cheap at £1.99 for 250ml. I absolutely love this. After I've shaved my legs I use this and leave it on for a few minutes and it makes such a difference. I really do recommend that you try this product, it smells lovely and does such a good job.

After my shower I tend to use the Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Firming Butter which aims to improve the firmness of your skin. I use this as my weight fluctuates a lot and I use this to try and prevent stretch marks. Some people really don't like the smell of this however I really like it, it is quite sickly though. It's a very thick consistency, like a butter but it comes out of a pump. I find that two pumps are enough to cover my legs in a thick layer. In terms of moisturising this is really great and leaves my legs feeling nourished.

So that's my bodycare routine! It's not technically a skincare post however as I had already done two I didn't see much of a point in doing another one as my routine hasn't changed very much. Hope you enjoyed! If you have any suggestions or recommendations leave them in the comment section below!
