My Himalayan Cleanse

Hi everyone! So this week I've been super excited to start my very first blog. Its something I'm not going to take too seriously! Recently I've found my new found love for skincare, considering I've had thee worst skin for the past few years, and it started to seem as though absolutely nothing was working for it. I thought it would be a fun idea to start writing useful product lists and tips weekly, to help other girls out there who are suffering with that skin type that just doesn't like to be fully clear.. even for one day!!

So, last week from Monday to Monday I started my first project, as you would like to call it. I decided that I would buy two new skincare products and try them out for a full week, faithfully, taking before and after pictures. The results I seen were outstanding!! I was always the one to cry away to my mum about taking me to the doctors to get tablets and creams for my skin, but she knew herself my skin wasn't that bad and they wouldn't do much about it, but it annoyed me and really effected my confidence. I started becoming more and more reliant on makeup, not leaving the house unless my brows and contour was 'fleekin' .. but for me probably like many of you, the oily skin type does not agree with this! It lead to more and more breakouts. So, January 1st 2017 came, Christmas was over, I had ate everything in sight, and my skin got a sore touch of greasy fatty food intake - I couldn't move due to my food coma andddd I looked like spotty betty - not good! Anyway.. that gave me a severe kick. I adventured into Boots and lifted their Garnier Micellar Cleansing water (for those of you who have me on Snapchat, I always rant and rave on about it). I had heard great reviews about the cleansing water, but in all honesty I was just too lazy to go pick up a bottle and actually use it. For the following few days I used the cleansing water night and day every day, it works a dream!! Cotton pad and a generous amount of the water and the makeup glides off your face - including them liquid eyeliners that usually have you looking like you've just balled your eyes out to The Notebook. While I was using the cleansing water I started thinking about facemasks and had heard that The Body Shops 'Himalayan Charcoal' was amazing. In all honesty I was completely clueless and just took a chance and went for it without reading into it, my skin needed TLC and it needed it quick! The first night I used the mask I felt like screaming it was super stingy on my skin, I began to think was I allergic and was I going to come out the other end looking like 'frickin' sherk'!! But my pores were just that bad, it felt like it was eating the dirt out of them, and so it was. A week later after using the cleansing water every day and night and the mask every second night, my skin was amazing!! It looked so bright and refreshed!! For any girls out there who have bad skin or find it hard to keep it clear for even a short period of time I would definitely invest in these two products:

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water - from Boots 400ml usually around £5 however boots always has offers on
