As the first week of the year is
quickly coming to an end, so is my "miniseries" on my 2011 favourite
produce, and last but not least we have skincare! There are 3 brands that stood
out in these past twelve months: Clinique, Liz Earle and Avène.
1. Clinique Anti Blemish 3 steps system, I did a blogpost about it a while ago, and I'm still using it, (I still get a few break
outs) but I'm really pleased with the results.
2. Liz Earle, I use daily their Cleanse and Polish
cleanser as a make-up remover in the evening, and works wonders, leaves the skin
really clean and removes every little mascara residue from the eyes. Another
product I really like from their range is the Deep cleansing mask, that is a
clay mask that helps "draw out impurities and oil", it also visibly
reduces pores. I love the smell of propolis this clay mask has, and the fact
that you receive a song to remove it after application. I also use the Liz Earl Gentle Face Exfoliator, that I use twice a week in the shower. I'm aware that many
people don't like the "scrub type" exfoliator, but I can assure you
that this product is so gentle and at the same time effective, that I feel
confident recommending it even if you have sensitive skin (which I have).
3. Avène. By far my favourite brand when it comes to
moisturizers. I use the intolerant skin recovery cream, on top of the Clinique
moisturizer only at night time and really calms down the redness in the skin. I
also use the under eye cream which is simply amazing (I did a post about it too), and reduces significantly
any dry patches I tend to get on my eyelid! When my acne was much better a
couple of years ago I used Clearance K and that was fantastic for black and
white heads ( I just felt like it needed a mention)
4. Differin cream, this is an acne
treatment that my dermatologist prescribed to me that is helping fading the
marks left behind by blemished and little scars I have on my face.
Here are all my skincare favourites, I hope you found this post useful or at least interesting!
Hope you'll all start the second week of 2012 the best way possible!
