I’ve been trying to take better care of my skin lately, taking the time to have a proper skincare routine, and making sure I cleanse properly. Since sticking religiously to a good skincare routine I’ve seen some great results, and I’m now a big cleanser fan. I’ve been trying out all sorts of cleansers to find the right one for my skin, and along the way I’ve found a couple of favourites.
The first of my favourites is the Eau Thermale Avene Gentle Gel Cleanser that I picked up recently. I’ve been lusting over this for a while after hearing some good things about it, and I’m really glad I picked it up. I’ve never used a gel cleanser before, but I really love the consistency of this, it feels really soothing on my skin and doesn’t irritate or rub at all. Another cleanser I’ve been trying out lately is No.7’s Beautiful Skin Hot Cloth Cleanser. I’ve never really tried any of No.7’s skincare products before, but this one was given to me by a friend and I’ve been using it for a few weeks now. Like most hot cloth cleansers it feels really smooth and creamy on my skin, and even makes taking off my makeup easy. It’s really soft to use on my skin, and I’ve found it makes it look a lot brighter. Another favourite cleanser would have to be Liz Earle’s Hot Cloth Cleanser, the holy grail of hot cloth cleansers. I’ve been using this for years, and I’ve even convinced my mum to start cleansing with this. It feels so gentle on my skin, and just like No.7’s it’s really easy to take off my makeup with this.
I’ve been using these three cleansers in my skincare routine for a while now, mixing up which one I use each week, and I’m really seeing some good results with all three. I’ve never had one single cleanser that I go to, and I think these three will be in my skincare routine for quite a while. Do you have more than one favourite cleanser that you love?
For years it seems like I’ve been collecting, or more like hoarding, beauty samples. Samples of products I’m considering buying, samples from magazines, samples from orders, samples from pretty much anywhere! I just seem to collect them. For year’s I’ve had a box in my room which I call my sample box, everytime I get…
Last month you may have seen my post Mission Longer Hair, where I was trying to grow out my hair. I talked about using Lee Stafford Hair Growth Treatment to try and help speed a long the process. I had never used this product before so I wasn’t sure what to expect, and I…
Apivita is a brand that I’ve not tried a lot of products from but I’m forever hearing good things about. They have a range of skincare, hair products, body products and even an aromatherapy range. I’ve been lucky enough to try a couple of samples of their products that I’ve got in goody bags in…
My eyebrows were fairly neglected in my beauty routine over the past few years. I used to pluck them, but I never had any idea of how to shape them, and in fact they were often over-plucked, leaving me with hardly there eyebrows. It’s only really when I started to blog that I decided to…
I can’t believe we’re at the end of January already (que the theme for the rest of the years favourites posts). This month seems to gone past in the blink of an eye, especially the last week as I’ve had a crazy busy week at work and I could have done with another day! Usually my favourites posts…
In the past year or so I’ve actually started to care about my skin. I never used to have much of a routine, it was more of a ‘take off my make up and that’s it’ kind of thing. Then through reading other people’s blogs I learnt more about the importance of skin care and…
