BOBBlogChallenge 'Skin Saviours'

So I decided to jump on the band wagon pretty late with this challenge but decided I’d post a week one to the challenge even if it is nearly a week late! :P I will be posting week 2 of the challenge tomorrow which is “Hair Heroes.”
This challenge has been set out by Samantha at AllTheBuzz and it is to post weekly around the same time about different products you like under different categories!
 This week is “Skincare Saviours,” so I have chosen 3 different products which I would define as my skincare saviours!

My first one is Simple Kind To Skin Purifying Cleansing Lotion & Soothing Facial Toner



Now these products are what I have been using for years to keep my skin clean and healthy. I find them nice and gentle on the skin with great results with continuous use.
Every evening and sometimes in the morning if my skin particularly bad I will use these on mainly my chin and around my nose as this is where I am affected most by spots.
These together really help fend off spots if you notice one coming up.

Next I have chosen Yes To Cucumbers Daily Gentle Cleanser.



Recently I decided to take a break from the simple products for my skin and use the yes to range. I have previously written a full review on this product which you can see HERE
I think this is great also a great skin cleanser with great results as long as you use it regularly. I found after so long of using it, if I went a day or two without using it then I would really notice spots coming up on my skin. Another great thing about this product is that it lasts for a very long time. I have had it now since October and used it nearly every night and again sometimes in the morning and I still have some left.
 I am back using the simple products again at the moment but I do like to change to and from sometimes to really see which is helping my skin the most.
I learned recently from a make-up artist in mac that cucumber face washes are mainly targeted for people with oily skin as cucumbers help take the oiliness out of your skin to give a much dryer look. This is also a reason I have decided to go back to using my simple products for a while as I do have quite dry skin anyway.  But for people with oily skin I think this is a product you might want to try out. J

And the last product I have chosen as a skin saviour is 
Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion.


As a person with eczema it is essential for me to moisturize my skin to keep away any flare ups of my skin and to help stop it itching at night which can cause me to scratch my skin and cause cuts.
I find Aveeno Daily Lotion to be the best moisturiser I have ever found that keeps my skin nice. I also use it on my face before applying make-up and before going to bed and have found since I did start doing this that dryness on my face doesn’t happen as much anymore and is less intense even though I wear make-up daily.  I recommend this as a must have for people with eczema or just dry skin in general. Aveeno also do a range of other products like shower gel and others that is also very good for your skin.

Well there you have it. These are my top skincare saviours.
I also consider my Cleanse Off Mitt to be a top skincare saviour but as I just posted a blog about it I won’t write about it here but it is definitely on my list!

I hope you enjoyed reading this and I will have another post for you tomorrow at 7pm on my “Hair Heroes.”

Cleanse Off Mitt Review


When the Cleanse Off Mitt was first released, I was not new to using this sort of thing to remove make up. For anyone who regularly reads my blog you will know I posted about the Nima Mitt a while back. While I did love that mitt I found it didn’t work as efficiently after a few uses. Well I’ve had the Cleanse Off Mitt for about a month now and have to say I absolutely LOVE it!



It is extremely soft on my skin which is a big issue for me as I have very dry sensitive skin and have to be careful what I use on my face. This is a big reason I don’t like using face wipes. Because of the sensitivity of my skin I find they sting and damage it quite a lot. 
Now I will admit I have been lazy a few times in the evening and reached for the face wipes but always find my skin ruined the next day.
But enough about that, back to the Cleanse Off Mitt!
The first time I used this product it was like taking a fresh soft towel across my face. It felt so lovely. I wiped around my face and when I looked at the mitt I could not believe how much make up it had taken off it just a couple of wipes!
Another thing I really love about this mitt is that it has two sides which can both be used! I usually remove all my foundation on one side and use the other mainly for eye make up and mascara and a quick second run over my face to remove any left over foundation. Even my water proof mascara, it takes off with ease.
After using the mitt I always rinse with a little bit of soap and squeeze out as much as possible to get all the moisture out of it. It comes with a handy little hook to hang up in my bathroom to dry fully.  But I have tweeted before about the quick dying quality of this product and usually find with a good squeeze out its usually nearly dry by the time I hang it up!
I don’t have a bad thing to say about the Cleanse Off Mitt as it is currently one of my favourite things in my bathroom. I would recommend this as a must have for women who wear make up everyday and just don’t feel the face wipes are doing their skin any good.
Because let’s be honest ladies… they definitely aren’t.

This is how the mitt looks after a month of being used!
Still so clean and fresh!

When I bought the mitt I also bought a second to giveaway and will be hosting this contest on my facebook page once I hit 200 likes! I’m still a bit off from this goal but am looking forward to holding the giveaway which will also feature an assortment of other products.
