Don't tell anyone but I've onlyjuststarted washing my face. If you want to understand why you can read about it here.

Yes, it took me 27 years to actually get it together but better late than never right? Right?? If you're going to judge me I'd rather get it over and done with now [insert moment of judgement here].

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, I'm grateful we can both move on together — thank you.

Watch: Flight skincare routine. Post continues below.

Since forcing myself to wash my face, I've quickly become addicted to my skincare routines. I get it now. Skincare is fun, it's constantly evolving and it's also just really good for you. Who knew? (Clearly everyone but me).

The biggest obstacle I've run into since starting a skincare routine is navigating what my skinactuallyneeds. It's so great that there is so much information out there but the issue is... there is so much information out there. I've heard horror stories of women ruining their skin barrier by using too much retinol or combining acids that shouldn't be combined or using vitamin C but forgetting to apply sunscreen.. the list goes on.

This alone nearly turned me off learning about skincare altogether but then.. my skin got really bad.

I've had my fair share of pimples and blackheads from the early days of puberty, but I only developed full-blown acne as an adult. I didn't have a choice with skincare, I just knew I had to act — fast.

Now, I've nailed my holy grail morning and evening skincare routines, my only regret is that I wasn't using these products sooner.

Here are the products that have transformed my skin as a skincare newbie...

Morning Skincare routine products:

Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water, $15.49

I only use a micellar water in the mornings to wipe away my sleep.

I'm not a big fan of scrubbing my face first thing in the morning so using micellar feels like a little hack around getting my skincare done in an enjoyable way.

I don't usually do a big cleanse because I've washed my face the previous night and don't want to wash away all the good stuff.

Go-To Much Plumper Skin hyaluronic acid, $48.00

I am in love with hyaluronic acids. They make my skin feel so plump and juicy and help my makeup glide on. If I'm ever having a lazy morning, I make sure to slap on a hyaluronic as it's the one product that immediately makes me feel fresh and awake. This one is a keeper and I also recommend this CereVe one.

Fenty Skin Flash Nap Instant Revival Priming Eye Gel-Cream, $52.00.

An eye cream for the morning — Halleluiah! This little guy has made the biggest difference to my poor eyes battling sleep deprivation in the mornings. I don't think anyone can tell when I don't put this on butIdefinitely can.

Barni Skin Dew Not Disturb moisturiser, $54.00.

As a perpetually oily gal, oil-free moisturisers in the morning are a must for me. This one from Barni has a gel-like consistency and is one of the few moisturisers I've come across that lasts the whole day. It keeps my skin so soft and hydrated.

Night skincare routine:

CeraVe Foaming Cleanser, $21.99.

To take my makeup off, I first use Micellar water again as an initial cleanse. I then double cleanse with this foaming cleanser and I immediately want to apologise to everyone to whom I've said "Double cleansing is a myth you freaks". So much more of my makeup that I couldn't see on my face comes off when I use this foaming cleanser. Add this one to your cart — your face will thank you.
