Skincare: Product Review | Andrea Martin

Hello everybody !

I am so sorry that it has been about over a month since I last posted. I have sat down and tried to blog but it has been so difficult as I have gone back to school and every single time I tried to post I would either get a mental block or be distracted by something silly! So tonight I decided that it was time I got back into the world of blogging ! 

Throughout this blogpost I am going to give you reviews of these skin products based on my experience. I would just like to stress that I am in no way a skincare professional so if I say something that offends you or you don't think is right that is ok because we all have our own personal experience and opinion. 

Firstly, I am going to begin by telling you that unfortunately I have sensitive, oily skin which is an  absaloutely nightmare! You may be wondering why I dislike having this type of skin but it is because most products for your skin that help to prevent oil are usually quite strong because it is designed to help prevent the oils from building up in your skin but as I mentioned  earlier my skin is very sensitive and so the oily products are too strong and have an effect on my skin in a bad way. They make me break out all over my face more than usual which sucks :( Then I try use a weaker products but they are not strong enough to hold back the oil and so has no major effect on my skin. 

So if you do struggle with this problem or you have a skincare problem that you think you can relate to well here may be some tips on helping you find a good skincare product or helping you narrow down the search. So let's get started!

The first products that I am going to talk about is the Eucerin - Dermo Purifier set. These items are specially designed for oily skin.


Here we have a toner, moisturiser, scrub and cleanser. 

Scrub:


Cleanser:


Toner:


Moisturiser:


Unfortunately these products were too strong for my skin but if you have oily skin that is not sensitive I would highly recommend this set of products!

Next I am going to move on to another product that doesn't suit my skin :(


This moisturiser is the Nivea - Expert Hydration Primer. This moisturiser had no effect on the sensitive side of my skin but as it is water based it didn't help prevent my oils, in fact it did the opposite. So I would recommend this product for anybody who has dry skin as it is amazingly hydrating.

Now moving on to some things that I have enjoyed using and have benefited my skin in some way or other.......

The first skincare item that I really have enjoyed using was a surprise for me because it's definitely not designed for sensitive skin but it has really helped me and it is the Neutrogena - Visibly a clear pink grapefruit facial wash.


I have just been using this face wash every morning and I have definitely noticed a difference in my skin! I would definitely  recommend this to all!

The second skincare product that I have loved recently is the No.7 - Beautiful Skin eye make-up remover. I don't actually know of this is fully classed as a skincare products as it is for your eyes but it is too good not to get a mention. This literally removes every single scrap of eye make-up that you have on and in my opinion everybody should have a bottle of this!


My final skincare product that I have absaloutely fallen in love with is the Silcocks Base - Skincare cream. This cream can be used in 2 ways : 1) You can just apply it normally as a moisturiser or......
                                                                     2)  You can run it under hot water for a minute and use it                                                    as a face wash and then rinse it off.
                 


This has really helped my oily and sensitive skin and I will be continuing to use this in the near future.
