My Current Skin Care Favourites

Tuesday, 29 March 2016


Recently I have been trying out so many new skin care products, to see which suit my skin type best. Here I have selected some of my favourites. I feel they have all improved my skin so much! Having a specific skin care routine is so important. These products are all great for those with dry/combination skin. 


(£4.99 for 400ml)
This product is a great dupe for Bioderma's Micellar Water! 
As someone with a dry/combination skin tone, I really liked the fact that this product does not dry the skin out. It's so refreshing and removes practically every trace of makeup. Another great attribute is that this product does not require any rinsing, so it's great for those who need something quick and easy to use. 
Personally, I use this product with some cotton pads after I have cleansed with my Elemis cleanser, and I find it really does remove any traces of make up that are left on the skin in one step. I have found that sometimes cleansers do not always remove all of the make up, but using this after cleansing, it really does the job! It's also safe to use on the eyes, and will not cause any irritation.

Tip: can be used on the go (as an alternative to make up wipes) if soaked onto a cotton pad and placed into a resealable zip bag.

(£3.29 for 125ml)
This eye make up remover is one of the best I have tried so far. My eyes are rather sensitive and I find that this product does not irritate them at all, even going over my eyes a few times! I have previously tried other eye make up removers such as Nivea, Simple etc. and they all seemed to irritate and sting my eyes. However, this product contains natural ingredients and is enriched with apple extract so is soothing around the eye area, which I find is always important as it is a delicate area. I also find that this product lasts for ages, as you don't need a lot to remove your eye make up because it works so well!
I definitely recommend to those who are looking for a quick and easy eye make up remover which won't leave the eyes streaming! 

(£8.50 for 250g)
Having used an Elemis toner, which requires having to pour it on a cotton pad and apply onto the face (which I find wastes a lot of the product), I wanted to find a cheaper alternative where I can spray the toner directly onto the face. So I thought I would purchase this product and try it out, and I am glad I did!  
With this toner being a hand made Lush product, I knew straight away that all the ingredients inside would all be natural which drew me even more to it! Many people forget to use a toner as part of their skin care routine, but toners are so important as they help to close the pores, which prevents any formation of blackheads or spots. They are also great for pH balance, and they also add a layer of protection to the skin. This toner is so refreshing and light, it contains essentials oils (rose and lavender) which are vital for the skin. The rose water helps the skin to retain its moisture and also evens out the skin tone, whilst also improving the appearance. The lavender water is great for soothing the skin, which is beneficial for those who may suffer with sensitive skin. Overall, this toner is very hydrating and refreshing and is definitely a great product to purchase and to add to your skin care collection.

(£7.99 for 75ml)
I absolutely love how this product contains no parabens and is full of mineral extracts from the Dead Sea. It is great for those who suffer from tight, dry skin. This scrub eliminates dead skin cells, so will give you an even skin tone straight after, making the skin feel super soft and supple. I find this product also brightens my skin, reducing any dullness. Whenever my skin is looking dull or whenever there are any signs of milia or blackheads I always use this product (usually twice a week) to help combat this. I do find the particles fairly rough but I always prefer this in an exfoliator as it definitely feels like it is working and removing all the dead skin cells! 
I thoroughly rate this product as its a must have for your skin care routine. 

SPA MAGIK DIAMOND RANGE AGE RESPONSE EYE CREAM 
(£17.95 for 15ml)
This eye cream contains all natural ingredients from the Dead Sea and no parabens at all, which I find so satisfying! It's great for reducing puffiness and black circles. The consistency is lovely too, it does not seem to be too thick or heavy and the packaging allows just the right amount to be squeezed out. rather than wasting lots of the eye cream.The only downside to this product is that I feel like I have to use this product every day as it claims to reduce fine lines within four weeks. Although, overall I have definitely noticed that it has reduced any fine lines or dark circles of mine. 

SPA FIND BLACK MUD FACE & BODY MASK

(£36.76 for 250ml)
This is my absolute favourite face and body mask that I have tried so far! The texture is fairly thick, which I do prefer in a mask. It smells just like marzipan, which makes me love the product even more! The mud mask is packed with 21 minerals, which is great for feeding the skin and also for rebalancing and oxygenating. It is great to deep cleanse the body and face, and brightens the skin giving you a lovely radiant glow. Once the mask is on, it does start to feel tingly, but you know it is definitely working deep into the layers of the skin. I personally use a black flannel to remove the product as it does tend to stain anything it comes in contact with. The mud mask is fairly expensive to purchase, but is definitely worth it for the great results!
