Wednesday Wrap Up: Wrap Up Great Skin


Hello everyone

My skin has been a nightmare recently!!  I hate waking up in the morning and looking in the mirror and the first thing you see is a big blemish which then takes days to disappear.  To everyone else it probably doesn't look that bad but to you all you can see in the mirror is that blemish, and it feels like its looking at you....  This time I had had enough and decided I needed to find some products that would do away with it!  A bit of experimentation later and the blemish is no more!  Here are my skin saviours that leave my skin glowing, radiant and beautiful....

I think a big mistake I used to make when I was having a breakout was to try and keep my skin quite dry until the oiliness passed but I've learnt that this is the worst thing to do as your skin will keep producing more oil to keep your skin hydrated.This time I have been using Hydra Beyond Hydrating Gel Cream at night to keep my skin hydrated and protected all night and day.  It provides 48 hour moisturisation which means I can use a less thick day cream whilst still having hydrated skin.  Also at night I use a dab of Clear Emergency Instant Spot Treatment directly on to the blemish.  This spot treatment is a saviour for unexpected breakouts.  By the next morning I could see that the redness was reduced and within a couple of nights usage it was really easier to cover up with concealer.  

My final saviour item is a face mask.  I have this Face Mask Gift Set left in my Avon collection from the Xmas gift guide and it has little 5ml versions of 3 Planet Spa face masks- including the Thailand Lotus Deep Pore Cleansing face Mask which makes sure all the rubbish in your skin is well and truly cleansed out.  When your skin is feeling a bit grummy a bit of spa relaxation is just what's needed.  

Hydra Beyond Hydrating Gel Cream is £3.50, Clear Emergency Instant Spot Treatment is £2.25 and the Face Mask Gift Set is £4 all in Brochure 6.  

This is what works for my skin.  It might be different for you so leave a comment below with what your skin care saviours are.
