Honestly, I’ve been very lucky with my skin and never really suffered from major breakouts. But like most people my age I am not blessed with flawless skin and have been trying to come up with the perfect combination of products to beat those irritating spots when they appear. Finally I think I’ve cracked it.
Firstly, Clearasil’s Pore Cleansing Pads are something I’ve been using on and off for a while and they’re brilliant. They’re so much easier and quicker than face wash which, for me, is perfect – I can never be bothered with the whole face wash routine especially late at night when I’ve just got in from work and want to go straight to bed. The pads exfoliate, prevent spots and it only takes a minute (amazing). They’re also nice and refreshing for in the morning.
The second product in my super cool spot fighting team is Clearasil’s Overnight Lotion. A recent discovery that is a really winner for me. Again, it’s quick and easy to use (no faffing with face wash), it doesn’t feel heavy like some lotions I’ve tried in the past and best of all it’s a prevention as well as a cure. I’ve been using it ever other night and so far, so good.
The final product in my fantastic three is Garnier’s Essentials Day Cream. This product really came into its own a couple of months ago after I came down with a virus that left me covered in oh-so-sexy red blotches – not going to lie, I would have made a convincing extra in one of those deadly virus horror films. A combination of the virus, calamine lotion and various anti itch creams left my skin, and face in particular, dry and in desperate need of moisturiser. Enter stage right Garnier’s Essentials Day Cream a few days later my face returned to its pre-virus, well moisturised self and I was again a very happy, un-blotchy bunny. In addition to its post virus face revival qualities this face cream smells amazing, is light and quickly absorbed into the skin. For an extra bonus point it doesn’t cost a stupid amount of money – I picked it up for about £4 at Sainsbury’s.
I’ve tried many, many products over my teenage years and I’ve finally settled on these three that are fabulous and actually WORK. :)
