My Go To Skincare Products

Hellooooo again :) So my second blog post is on a few skincare products I honestly feel at this moment in my life I cant live without.  Some of the items as you'll see from the picture above are drug store items and high end.  For about 2 years I was having a few problems with my skin, I used to to take really bad breakouts on my forehead and temples.  I started to feel really self conscious about my skin so much so I went to private skin clinics (which to be totally honest the skin clinic really didn't help me) and my GP.  Its only recently in the past 5 months I've seen a major transformation in my skin and its been since using all the above products.

Firstly,  Clean&Clear Blackhead Clearing Cleanser and Clean&Clear Blackhead Clearing Daily Scrub.  I actually hadn't read any reviews on these products before I bought them I just took a fancy to it when I was in boots one day the thing that attracted me to it was the fact it contains salicylic acid and I've been told numerous times this ingredient is great for blemishes as it kills bacteria.  Now I know people are very skeptical of products that contain alcohol, and I'm by no way saying people with severe acne should go out and buy this product, I simply just want to let you know about my personal experience of it.
   So basically in my routine I use the clearing daily scrub every morning.  I KNOW I KNOW you'll be thinking why is she exfoliating everyday.  This is no where near being like a normal exfoliator its nice a creamy texture with tiny little microbeads the beads dont feel rough on the skin at all you barely even notice they're in there!  I then rinse this off my face and let my face dry naturally I dont use a towel on my face at all.  I then pour some of the clearing cleanser onto a cotton pad (once my face is nice and dry) and basically just wipe all over my face with it this will take every inch of remaining make up or stubborn dirt you cant see off of your face.  Again some of you will be thinking how is this going to help it will just dry your skin out but I genuinley feel products like this are amazing teamed up with the right type of moisturisers and they cost a fraction of the price you'll literally get these 2 products for under £10.
     These two products have been amazing for me the redness in my skin went down really fast and I now have no little bumps at all!!! Like every new product you try you really need to stick with it for at least two weeks and trust me if your skin is similar to what mine was you'll see amazing results.

This the takes me onto my next step which is Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair.  I use this morning and night straight after I've cleansed.  It really is a beautiful product it makes your skin feel amazing.  When I first started using this i seen results straight away, any red marks i had were drastically reduced my skin looked tighter and in general looked much fresher not long after using Estee Lauder products as well my work colleagues actually commented on how nice and radiant my skin was looking.  I actually cant stress enough how good this product is, its not cheap but its absolutely worth every single penny!!

On to the next one... Estee Lauder Day Wear.  I use the normal/combination skin creme this is what I have found to be best for me.  I received a sample size of this product and I have to say I've never seen such good results after using a product once.  The first thing I loved about it was the nice fresh smell the creme has it smells of freshly cut cucumber and its a nice pale green colour, the texture of it feels nice and thick but not too thick and it doesn't leave a greasy feeling which I have found a lot of moisturisers can do and i absolutely hate that.  I sound like a broken record but again i cant praise this item enough and do not let the price put you off because there is absolutely no way you'll be disappointed in the results.

Nearly there sorry if I seem like I'm ranting... Estee Lauder Idealist Even Skintone Illuminator.  This is just a sample size I've not actually bought the full size yet but I love using this before I put foundation on I think it helps give a really nice even finish and a lovely glow to your foundation if you use a matte foundation like I do.

Finally!!! Dalacin Topical Solution.  Now this product only applies to people with really bad blemishes as you can actually only get this on prescription.  I've been using this for about 4/5 months and this has been a god send I'm so glad my GP prescribed it to me.  I had tried a good few other prescription products before this and none of them had the same results.  This teamed up with a really good skincare routine will definitely help anyone with mild acne.  I put this on every night after my full routine, you probably can use it in the morning as well but I felt I seen better results using it just before I went to bed.
