MY TOP FACIAL DUO FOR DEHYDRATED SKIN

 

Ahh, long time no blog!  I've not been in much of a blogging mood since December.  I think I may have burned myself out attempting to post every day during Blogmas.  I've barely blogged, or even read any of my favourite blogs, for months now; obviously I needed a bit of a break!  Now I'm back and the blog has a new look... what do you think?  Anyway, I've really missed talking about beauty products here so lets just move on to today's post already!

The skin on my face has always been on the dry side, well actually just my skin in general, so I'm always on the hunt for products that will give me a big boost of hydration.  A good few years ago a friend of mine recommended the Vitamin E range at The Body Shop so I duly popped down to my local store and picked up a tub of moisturising cream.  It was my first true skincare love.

GLAZED APPLE HAND CREAM

I think we'd all agree that hand cream is a handbag essential, especially at this time of year.  I have quite dry skin on my hands all year round but during the cold winter months it's much worse.

5 MINUTE DETOX MASK

I love a good mask.  Even if they look slightly ridiculous you can't beat slapping on a face mask and having an excuse to relax for a while.  I haven't actually used one for several months and was on the look out for one to try when I saw Amelia Liana raving about Sanctuary Spa 5 Minute Thermal Detox Mask in one of her videos.

La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo+

After reading all of the hype and the good reviews surrounding La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo+ I had to pick some up to try for myself.  I don't have particularly bad skin in the way of spots, however once a month when hormones are all over I do tend to get a few angry pimples on my chin, cheeks and nose.

La Roche Posay Physiological Micellar Solution

I've been interested in trying out a few products by La Roche Posay for a while since seeing all of the buzz surrounding their Effaclar Duo+, so when I saw they were in a 3 for 2 offer at Boots a few weeks back I thought it would be the perfect time to go for it.  One of the products I picked up was this Physiological Micellar Solution.  Got to admit I'm a tad obsessed with trying out micellar solutions from various different brands at the minute so it was a no brainer that this would go into my shopping basket.

Decleor Phytopeel Natural Exfoliating Cream

I love the feel of freshly exfoliated skin and try to do it once a week to help keep my skin looking healthy.  I've tried quite a few different exfoliating products but a lot of the time I find them too harsh for my sensitive skin, particularly around my cheek area.  These days I actively try to avoid the products with the little synthetic beads in as I find them the most harsh.

June Favourites

I love reading favourites posts, mostly because I'm nosey but also because it's fun to see what kind of products other bloggers have been using on a regular basis.  It's a great way to get some good recommendations.  I thought I'd give it a go myself so here are my most loved products from June.  I've been enjoying digging right in to my old favourites that I left at home whilst I was off on my travels and there are quite a few things that I've been missing.
