I have another new series for you today! I have decided to
do a post every Saturday called “The Weekly Post” and I can write about whatever
I want. I have decided to do this because when I read a beauty style blog I like
to know who’s behind the products even though I am a self-confessed product
junkie and I love to read a good review but I also like it to be a bit personal
– it’s especially nice if your similar to them and you can relate with what they’re
saying. So some weeks I will have a specific topic I want to talk about for
today I am going to write about products that have helped my skin (more on that
soon!) But sometimes I’ll just have a general chit chat! I recently also
started a new series called “What’s on my Face” which I will link , it has had
a good response so far so I will be doing another on next week!
I have recently had a really hard time with my skin it’s
been extremely dry and I have had really bad break outs especially on my
forehead and chin. This caused me to have a good look at my skincare routine
which I thought I had kind of nailed it but clearly not! I did a lot of
research which I hadn’t before and I actuary learnt quite a lot! And I have
pretty much changed everything in my routine, the only thing I haven’t changed
is my eye make-up remover – which I am planning on changing and my daily moisturiser
which is First Aid Beauty – Ultra Repair Cream which I still love! I read that
foaming cleansers contain an ingredient that can be quite bad for your skin and
that to remove your make-up you should use a cleansing balm, now if you’ve read
the first skincare routine that I have ever done you would know that I used to
use the N07 – Beautiful Skin – Cleansing Balm (very dry/dry skin) and I still
had some that so instead of buying a new one I had never tried I began to use
it again and I have fallen in love with it! Instead of wiping it off with
cotton pads I use water and a face cloth as I don’t feel my face is clean
without using water. While I was researching skin care I heard a lot about two
Origins products - both masks. One mask is called the Clear Imperfections which
is a clay mask that cleans out your pores so it’s great for acne prone skin –
it says to use it once a week or as often as needed so to begin with I use it
every other day. I am only doing it that often to clear my skin up and I will
then strip it back to once or twice a week but it has defiantly help even my
sister tried it and we both see results immediately – we both also love it! The
other mask is an overnight mask that helps dry de-hydrated skin! It’s the Drink
up Intensive Overnight Mask, this stuff oh my - if only you could smell it! It
honestly smells like you’re putting a smoothie all over you face, and it does
work after using it I only had two really bad patches that did eventually clear
up.
Like I mentioned earlier I still have a few products that I want
to get and I thought that I would take the time now to tell you the products that
I really want to get and will eventually get. First product is one that I am
sure you have all heard about and everyone says it’s worth the hype and I want
to find out if it really worth the hype for myself! Bioderma Sensibio H20 -
Micelle Solution (formerly Crealine) now you will all know what this is so I am
going to keep it simple by saying … it’s a cleansing water and make-up remover
for both face and eyes. The next item is an eye cream that I have used before
as I have used one sample and have a backup waiting, Benefit It's Potent Eye
Cream now I really like this but its £24.50! I would be prepared to get this
eventually. So yeah that it two products I really want to get and I have actually
just ordered the Bioderma! I convinced myself just to do as writing this made
me want it even more! You would be amazed by how long it takes me to write a
post I get distracted so easily and will defiantly look at online shops at least
twice! Opps!
If you have any recommendations for dry skin that is acne
prone then please leave your recommendations in the comments, I am really
wanting to get an exfoliator to get all the yucky dead skin cells away but I don’t
know what to try! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed!
Love
Have you thought about getting a Clarisonic? They are a great gentle way to exfoliate your skin! I love mine, it helps keep blemishes at bay too.
