I'd always been a bit of a 'less is more' kinda girl when in terms of daily facial regime - literally splashed my face with water and slapped on only old moisturiser and off I went; much to the apparent dismay of my boyfriend who repeatedly told me that caking my face in E45 would not do me any favours ....
Anyway about 2/3 weeks ago now I started to notice that my face was breaking out in a lot of spots, my previously tamed oily T-zone had gone into overdrive and I generally didn't look too hot.
So off to Boots I went, in search of lotions and potions to fix this. Now before I get started I would just like to express my love for Boots, I don't know about you but I can literally spend a good hour in there and it feels like no time at all.
Now, I like to think of myself as a very savee shopper and so I had searched the internet before hand and read countless reviews of many different products, before choosing my Top 3:
Now I must admit that the aforementioned boyfriend uses this product so it is not totally new to me, however this is the first time I have used this product on a regular basis. So far I have found it to be really good, and that it really does do what is says on the tin. It tingles ever so slightly when you first put it on, which is kind of nice, and it has that sort of medical smell to it (I hope you know what I mean when I say this) which reassures me it's doing only good things for me skin. The oil-free factor to this product is really important to me, as the moisturiser I had before increased the oil levels on my T-zone meaning my make up was literally sliding off my face a couple of hours after application. Not good.
The second product I bought in a bid to banish my spots was (fan fare please) ...
I know a lot of people use this product already, but I seriously cannot rave about it enough. The only issue I do have with this product if that you apply the stick directly to your blemishes - I can't decide if in the long run you're going to be spreading germs across your face, however as this has not yet been a problem I shall await judgement.
The final product I bought was a Boots Simple Sensitive Face Mask, however as I have never even heard of this product before I bought it, and because I've only used it twice I'm going to wait a couple of weeks and review it properly then.
So there you have it, an insight into a now expanding facial regime. I also picked up a couple of Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair and Even Skintone Illuminator samples which I have been trying for a few days (and may already love despite their amazing price tag) so await further review.
Do you have any skincare secrets? How do people feel about vlogging this sort of this?
