It's time for another Sunday skin secrets post!
The topic for today is cleansing oils.
If you don't know cleansing oils are an oil that you use to clean your skin & remove your make up.
Firstly it sounds a little crazy doesn't it, but it's actually a really effective way to cleanse your skin.
They tend to clean deeper into the skin than face wipes and they also contain vitamins which help nourish your skin. They obviously also prevent your cleanser from drying out of your skin!
Don't think that if you have oily skin you can't use cleansing oils, they actually could help.
Applying oils to oily skin tricks the skin into thinking it's too oily & in turn it produces less oil.
Cleansing oils are also similar to cleansing balms.
If you're looking to try one a lot of them are quite expensive, however I did spot this one at the drugstore.
This is the L'Oreal Paris Skin Perfection 15 Second Miracle Cleansing Oil.
This retails for £7.99, but I found it on offer for only £5.33!
I like using this when I have a lot of make up on. I do also like to use an extra product to remove eye make up as I don't like rubbing oil into my eyes too much. It's perfectly fine, does work and doesn't sting, it just personally isn't my preference due to my blepharitis.
It feels really nice on the skin. This particular product does have quite a strong smell even once you've washed it off. So if you don't like scented skincare you probably will find this a bit much.
This product does work really well and makes my skin feel super soft after I've used it.
So if you are looking to get into cleansing oils but don't fancy spending a fortune, give this one a go!

So I forgot to do my health update last week so I'm going to combine this week & last week.
I have been continuing with the diet by having more vegetables, fish & other good stuff!
I have been drinking less alcohol and drinking water along side it when I have been out.
(Which I strongly advise to everyone, that way you remember the night & don't wake up with a hang over.)
I also mentioned in the previous post about the vitamins I have started taking, below is a photo of them. The box on the right are also my eye drops, which have really been helping my eyes. I have been religiously taking these, which is good for me because I get really lazy with taking vitamins.
I also have been trying to continue exercising at least one/twice a week. I think last week I only exercised once, but I plan on making up for it this week.
I haven't exactly taken up walking but I have been getting out more and doing more stuff around the yard. So just generally being more active in the daytime.
So overall I think I'm doing pretty well, I could still be doing more but for now I'm already feeling better for making these little changes.
I also have a follow up appointment with doctor next week to find out what's going on internally.

So last week I posted about getting healthy & fit in this
post.
A week has gone by now and I wanted to post a little update. I do plan on doing weekly updates, that way I hopefully can keep motivated!
So I have almost fully recovered from my throat infection, which is good.
I have also been to a private hospital about what the hell is going on with me. So I think things are on the up. They've done some tests, I'm now just waiting on results. They have also given me some vitamins & eye drops to take.
I have also been making some dietary changes too, partly due to what the private doctor told me.
I have been eating less sugary foods and more vegetables/ fruit.
I still am not drinking fizzy drinks much, maybe the odd glass of pepsi or something.
With regards to exercise, I didn't do any last week due to the throat infection. However this week I have done some bodyweight toning exercise and a little bit of yoga.
So overall I think I have done pretty well over the last week. Next week I aim to do a bit more exercise and just keep everything up. I have also been advised to take up walking which I plan on starting next week.
