skin care

So as a hairdresser working in a small salon with hairdryers on the go all day creating dry heat my skin can tend to suffer from this making it dry , dull , dehydrated , and one week out of the month spotty and if youre female we all know what that week is ! 

Since ive been a youtube lover for the past year watching videos from the likes of pixiwoo ,tanya burr , zoella , louise (sprinkle of glitter) , vivianna does make up and just recently starting to watch athriftymrs as shes also from manchester and now im constantly looking at beauty mouths blog aka caroline hirons , ive been picking up tips and alternitives of products that seem to be quite a cult product . 

i must say since watching the pixiwoo collab video with caroline on youtube and following her blog ive realised ive been doing everything so badly and so wrong .
so now i only use my johnsons baby wipes if im desperate and changed my skin care hopefully for the better. 

So the products ive been seeing everywhere is the liz earle range including the hot cloth cleanse n polish although ive never owned this product ive heard nothing but good things about it and it seems to be what everyone is talking about on youtube along with the emma hardie cleansing balm which i havent had the chance to try yet. BUT i was in asda earlier looking along the skin care aisle as you do ... 
and these little beauties caught my eye 


First off i just want to say each of these tubes are 50ml mini versions and u can buy all of these seperately  ranging from £7 each .
I got this as like a trial box and the price ... TEN POUNDS ! bloody bargain . what first attracted me to this was the hot cloth polish as ive been umming and ahhing about the liz earle version. So when i saw these minis in the box i snatched it up as it was the last one came home and was itching to get my make up off and try it .

Step 1 . melting cleansing gel - you use this and the polish on dry skin first impressions of the gel is quite thick and feels very moisturising you feel as though your using something from a spa . Rub in circular motions all over your face and neck wet hands and carry on rubbing and it turns into what feels like a milky liquid . Rinse off with warm running water and pat dry and my face never felt tight or dry or red baring in mind my face can be quite sensitive ...but it was fine.

Next step the hot cloth polish ...same as before using on dry skin after you have used the gel . rub into your face for a little while run the muslin cloth that is included in the pack and gently wipe away ,patting dry and then finishing with the beauty serum which fealt very nourishing and dried quickly and didnt leave any form of sticky residue. 
Seperately i bought the night cream which looks like this 

The colour is baby pink and is quite thick in texture and a little goes a long way and again isnt sticky .
All in all i think these are great cheaply priced little products . They are paraben free not tested against animals and contain no mineral oil . 
The packaging says they are suitable for all skin types and i dont see why not so go check them out you can get them from asda and online hopefully you wont be dissapointed. I will do an update in a few weeks to say how im getting on with them :)
