As the seasons change, so does the condition of our skin; its important to kit ourselves out with the right skincare, ready to tackle any occasion. From scrubs to oils, the list can be endless and it can be hard finding a cleanser that is suitable for you. So here are a few that have benefited my skin and made my morning and night routines a little bit more bearable.
1) L'Oreal Paris Skin Perfection Nourishing Cleansing wipes:
We've all done it. After a night out or hard day; when the last thing you could ever want to do is take off your war paint- the thought of going to sleep seems so much more appealing. ENTER THE CLEANSING WIPE- the easiest way to perfectly cleanse your skin without all the hassle.
My favourite cleansing wipe at the moment is from L'Oreal's skin perfection range. I absolutely love the range and when I teamed it with the Skin Perfection serum, my skin felt amazing! Quick, easy and leaves skin feeling silky smooth… fabulous quick fix cleanser!
2) Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish (hot cloth cleanser):
After hearing my good pal and fellow blogger The Beauty Type speak so highly of Liz Earle, I thought I'd give it a whirl (excuse the cheesy rhyme). The Cleanse & Polish hot cloth cleanser promises to gently exfoliate, leaving smoother, clearer skin- a promise very much fulfilled. The mixture of natural ingredients (Rosemary, chamomile, cocoa butter, eucalyptus and essential oils) leaves a fresh, beautiful flowery smell and skin instantly feels smooth when generously massaged.
However, I'm a learner when it comes to hot cloth cleansers and it turns out I need to keep my L plates on. I tend to be quite speedy when removing cleansers so at times I missed a few spots and indeed they turned into a spot or two- some so horrid they had their own shadow. But since learning from this little mishap I have learnt the beauty of a hot cloth cleanser. When skin feels dull and needs a quick fix, a quick hot cloth can leave skin feeling fresh and squeaky clean! Now I know what I'm doing, Liz Earle is a good friend of mine!
3) L'Oreal Skin Perfection Miracle Cleansing Oil:
This product came as quite a surprise to me (yet again another Skin Perfection product that holds a place in my heart). At first I was a little apprehensive because I have oily to combination skin. However, clever ol' me thought that maybe if I fight oil with oil, then it would balance out and in a ideal world, I wouldn't have oily skin… maybe..yes? no? YES! As other harsh cleansers can strip the skin of natural oils that it NEEDS, the miracle oil re-balances the natural oil production, leaving skin feeling perfectly hydrated.
Since I use numerous spot gels and creams, my skin tends to feel tight and dehydrated, so this cleanser is perfect for when my skin needs a splash of hydration. After all, I reeeeeeeeeeeally wanted to get along with this product because it looks so luxurious and summery... eek!
4) Clarins One-Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser:
This is another gooden. It does the job and everything you'd expect from a loyal exfoliator and cleanser! The scrub isn't too harsh on the skin so can be passed off for a cleanser as well, although I wouldn't use it every day. Like me, if you have spot prone skin, using exfoliators more than once or twice a week can in fact irritate the skin further; only use when your skin really needs it!
It buffs the skin and removes any dead skin perfectly without being too harsh on the skin, and the Orange extracts makes it smell summery, fresh and suitable for all skin types!
*QUICK TIP*
When using scrubs, masks or hot cloth cleansers it's important to remove the product with CLEAN and reliable towels or flannels. Towels can hoard tons of bacteria and if you don't wash them a couple of times a week then soak up the residue of product with a dry paper towel. They're reliable and will not spread bacteria and cause pesky breakouts! Just a few little changes can make the world of difference to your skin!
