I’m not one to change up my skincare much especially if I’ve
found some that works well for me but after I came back from my holiday in June
I revamped part of my skincare & fell more in love with a few old newbies
from a few months before.
Let’s start off with the products I’ve had for the longest.
This have to be my Mario Badescu products, I picked these up back in May after I
start to run out of my then loved Pixi Glow tonic. I want another exfoliating
toner but that was easier for me to get & with a better price tag. I found
about Mario Badescu quite a long time ago when my acne was still bad but I never
braved trying anything. I was only reminded of the brand when I was doing an
online search for an exfoliating toner.
The Glycolic Acid Toner only has 4 ingredients compared to
the Pixi Glow Tonic which has 19 ingredients. The ingredients in the Glycolic Acid Toner are
water, aloe gel, grapefruit extract & glycolic acid. This toner is great
for anyone that suffers from scarring as it helps reduce the discolouration of
scars & it’s also helps to keep the looking more vibrant an less congested.
This product cost £15.50 for 236ml or £26.50 for 455ml.
The next Mario Badescu product is the Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs & Rose Water. This is a great product to add moisture back into
the skin. I like to use this during the day when I’m wearing no makeup to give
my skin a little boost & to feel refreshed. It’s also great to use after
your face cream & it states that you can use this as a makeup setter &
a hair mist, I haven’t tried either of these but I can imagine your hair
smelling great if this was misted over your hair. Onto the smell because the spray
has rose water this really reminds me of turkish delight, I love this smell. This product cost £5.95 for 4oz or £10.25 for 8oz.
Let’s move onto the products I bought after my holiday,
firstly I bought these as I need more soothing & hydrating products as I got
a little burnt on holiday, I clearly didn’t listen to my Sun Protection 101
tips. I’ve always heard good things are the Super Facialist by Una Brennan range,
so I thought that would be my best bet to try & find some new products that
I know will work with my skin. The first thing I picked up was the Vitamin C+
Brighten Cleansing Oil. I had never used cleansing oil till I went on holiday &
picked up a mini of the Mac Cleanse Off Oil (Which is amazing). Since I loved
the Mac cleanser so much I thought I would try a more purse friendly cleansing
oil.
The Skin Renew Cleansing Oil is infused with Vitamin C,
Olive, Grapeseed & Rosehip oils. This cleansing oil also has Rosemary oil,
Vitamin E & Cucumber oil in it. This starts off as an oil but once water
makes contact with it, it turns into a milky cleanser. I find this removes my
makeup a lot faster & easier than my previous cleanser. This product cost£10.99 for 200ml.
The Rose Hydrate Mask is a great 5 minute intense moisture
mask. I like to use this ever week or so to add moisture back into my skin especially
when it gets really dry or I’ve worn quite a bit of makeup that week. This mask has White Willow which enhances skin
cell turn over, it also has Vitamin E & Urea with soothing marshmallow
extract to hydrate, plump & replenish the skin. You use this for only 5 minutes
& then wash off; you are left with incredibly soft skin. This product cost£9.99 for 125ml.
