BOBBlogChallenge week 4 – Pamper Products

This week’s theme for the BOBBlogChallenge is beauty pamper products. These products wouldn’t be something I would use to often but there are a few I love to use to relax every now and again.

The first product I have chosen is facemasks.

 Facemasks help to remove dry skin and keep your skin fresh and clear. I do sometimes buy facemasks but I much prefer making my own. That way you really know what is going onto your face. I usually get my recipes online from different websites but a good one I have found recently is womansday.com. They have a number of recipes for facemasks for all different skin types! You can check out the site HERE

I also like to use a few Anatomicals products. Such as their ‘’farewell the scarlet pimplehell deep cleansing mud mask’’ and their ‘’look, you’ve got chocolate all over your face anti-stress mask.’’ Anatomicals are one of my favourite brands for these kinds of products. I have also recently used their ‘’puffy the eye bag slayer wake-up under eye patches,’’ and I absolutely love these. All these products always make my skin feel soft and refreshed.

Now the second product I have chosen for this blog is

 LUSH Dreamwash Shower Smoothie.

 This is something I received a sample of from the LUSH shop in Dublin to try out and review and I had previously written a review on it before. But I will put it in here again to say I love using this product. Something I always look for in my shower products is a lovely smell and I have to say that this product always smells amazing as do most of the LUSH products and I find even with my dry skin, it helps moisturize and clean my skin. I wouldn’t use this on my face because my face is extra sensitive but other friends who use this product have told me that they would use it as a face wash and it works perfectly to keep away black heads and acne. This is a product that I would recommend to try out and see if it works for you. I have heard some mixed things from people with sensitive skin but for me it has worked great! If you are a bit wary about using it then why not go into LUSH and ask for a sample to try out on your skin first. J

My third and final product I have chosen is 

Aveeno Stress Relief Foaming-Bath.

I love Aveeno products as they’ve always been very kind to my skin for so long. I have never had any problems with irritation while using them. And there is nothing different about this foaming-bath product. I love to take baths, they are so relaxing and nice but ever since I was a child I have often found that many bubble-bath solutions that I have used often irritate my skin. It was only a few years ago that I started using Aveeno products but really see a change in my skin. I would recommend anyone with sensitive or dry skin to check out their products as I can almost guarantee they will benefit you.  For this Foaming-Bath wash, while the smell is lovely and I can almost feel it helping my skin while I take the bath, which is very relaxing, there aren’t many bubbles. So if you like a bath with a lot of bubbles, maybe you shouldn't go for this. But again if you suffer from dry skin, I think you should try it out. Even if you don’t have sensitive or dry skin, I still think it would benefit your skin!

Well that’s it for this blog post! I fairly waffled on for a while but I hope you enjoyed reading all the same! J

I would also like to ask anyone who can take a second out to vote for me in a modelling contest I am currently in for Wear We Wander. The voting closes on Saturday and I am currently in 2^nd place. Still a good few votes from 1^st though. So if you could spare a second to vote that would be just amazing! Voting is also daily so if anyone remembers then a vote a day would be much appreciated! <3

If you click on the HERE it will bring you to the voting page.

Thank you all for reading!

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.”
