Product rave! *skincare*

So this is my first post in a whiiiiiile.... I really don't know why I haven't posted in so long, I guess I just haven't felt motivated to sit down and write.. And after all, what's the point in writing for the sake of it?

Anyhow! I've recently been getting back in to the beauty and skincare 'scene' and picking up a few products which have interested me along the way. I rarely find make up items which I find to be the ever elusive 'holy grail' material, but instead find myself stocking up on countless new items of skincare.

My goal with skincare is always to find a genuinely good routine for my skin. It would have to incorporate elements such as deep cleaning, gentle on the skin, nourishing, spot fighting, brightening, tone correcting and the list goes on..... But the main goals are gentle and tone correcting for the moment.

Having been a user of such regimes as Clinque 3-step and other systems which are 'spot fighting' etc etc... I have found that gentle really is the way forward. I tend to swap my products around depending on how my skin is behaving on a particular day and just work with it.

Current regime:
Basic eye make up removal with Simple eye make up remover cream.
Cleanse with origins rinse off cleanser (used with a muslin cloth or flannel & warm water)
Pat skin dry
Follow with Superdrug's naturally radiant 2 in 1 serum and moisturiser.




Now this is the product rave.... The 2 in 1 product from Superdrug. This stuff is amazing!!! I have recently been experiencing dryness and flakiness on my skin, and nothing was working to calm it down. I have found that following my regime with this amazing product that my skin is so soft to the touch and absolutely flake free. I'm currently using it morning and night - it's on a half price offer at the moment so I will definitely be stocking up!!!

I have used products from this range before and I am aware of the products they use and the claims that they make with this 'brand' and that is that it is supposed to be hydrating and brightening. I would definitely agree with these claims, and have enjoyed every product I've tried from the range so far.

Having used the serum/moisturiser for around a week now, I actually took my make up off tonight and this is what spurred me on to write a blog post, I was stunned at how clear my skin looked with a considerably brighter look with my pigmentation reduced. It's not often I look at my bare skin and think 'wow this doesn't look half bad!'

Anyway guys I really recommend at least trying something from this range, and definitely take advantage of the half price offers! The night cream and also hot cloth cleanser are favourites of mine and I will repurchase them again soon!

Thanks for reading (apologies for the rambling) :) Lucy xx
