SOS Save Our Skin

There are a range of skin types; normal, oily, dry, sensitive and combination skin which is merely a 'combination' of all. (for the greedy ones out there). Which one are you?

A good skin care regime is essential to making your skin feel fresh, look youthful and appear flawless. Here are some of the products I am using at the moment.

A face wash for when I shower, face wipes to remove make-up, refreshing pads for every morning and a good moisturiser for after all three! 

GARNIER FACE WASH- Garnier PureActive, fruit energy, daily energising gel scrub. I love this one as the grapefruit and pomegranate scent is truly revitalizing. (fresh and zingy). I always go for a face wash which contains little beads in which I feel really work to scrub off that unwanted dirt!

FACEWIPES- As you can see at the moment I have 'dirty works' facewipes which they describe as good clean fun, (catchy) but I was swayed into the marketing of this product and ofcourse it's retail price of only £2! But do you see the resemblance to Soap and Glory!? I was definitely fooled, clever, and it worked. 

 

The almost duplication is sneaky, yet ingenious! Being a solid lover of Soap and Glory's body and bath products I felt a slight annoyance due to my loyalty to the 'original', but look, I bought the face-wipes, I fell for the trap, so really, a big well done to them. I wouldn't buy these face wipes again though as they are really dry and tag on the skin when removing make up. 

CLEARASIL REFRESHING PADS- Clearasil daily clear Superfruits Refreshing Pads with raspberry and cranberry extracts are my favourite part of my skin care routine. I use them every morning and sometimes in the evenings after using a facewipe, (when you feel the face wipe didn't quite get the 10 thick layers of grub off your face). You'll know these pads work when you look down to see that they are no longer white but black in colour! Yuck! but impressive.... They exfoliate and cleanse your skin with the rigid texture of the pad and they are extremely moist which is a luxury!

Not my dirt...I promise

Lastly, a brilliant moisturiser. I chop and change. I used to use Johnsons but at the moment I have..

GARNIER FACE MOISTURISER- Garnier essentials hydrating day care cream. It has a velvety smooth texture and slides on wonderfully. (I hate that tight, feel like you've just gone through lots of botox, kind of feel) so I use moisturiser after washing my face no matter what. 

So whatever products you use, make sure you stick to your skin care regime, you'll only have yourself to answer for when you're old and wrinkly. (hey, that's mean)..but it is true. A moisturiser is a God send and you only get given one face, protect it wisely. :)
