Products I'm loving! Haircare, skincare and other beauty

Products I'm loving! March 2011


I've recently been having MORE problems with my skin, and was doubtful that I would be able to find products to help me!

Skincare:

I went to my local Clinique counter and asked about anti blemish products, but also mentioned that I have dry skin. The assistant suggested that my skin was actually dehydrated and this was why I was getting more blemishes than usual (as the skin was dry, it was producing too much oil, therefore clogging my pores and resulting in acne!). She gave me a little tester pot of 'Moisture Surge' and I was doubtful that it would work. I tried it for the first time without using any other moisturiser (mistake!) Moisture surge is not heavy enough to be used on its own in my opinion, it is really good when applied over another moisturiser though. I started trying it over my Dramatically different, and the results are amazing! It smooths out my skin, and a small amount really goes a long way, a small blob on the end of your index finger should do your whole face (amazing!). My face is much more under control since using the tester of Moisture Surge, and the tiny pot lasted me well over a month. I was pleased to see this product on offer in a set for £27 (RRP £30 on its own). The set came with a  make up bag, moisture surge, moisturising lip gloss and all about eyes serum, a great little package!


Haircare:

My scalp has been UNBELIEVABLY dry and flaky these past few months. I think I put it half down to stress, and half down to the constant change in weather we keep having. I have found that harsh scalp treatments are actually making my scalp worse, and that I needed something much more moisturising. I was quite nervous of trying E45 shampoo, as I had a vision of it basically being E45 I'd be putting on my hair! Well this wasn't the case. £5.10 from boots, not bad, and it seems to be working wonders! I have used it twice this week, and from the first use, I could tell that it was going to work even when applying it in the shower. It instantly soothed my scalp and after drying it, I could see visible improvements. This shampoo is great, I really recommend it for dry, itchy and flaky scalps.




This was just a quick update on some products I've used this past month!
