Happy Easter, loves!
I thought I would show off my first 'proper' skin care range that I have started to use.
I decided to stop using makeup wipes around 2 months ago when my skin started breaking out due to working in a hot food shop, I figured the wipes weren't doing my skin any favours and I needed something to help soothe the redness and breakouts that were happening.
In the past, my go-to store for any kind of break out, redness or just general skin care was Lush, however, recently I popped into the Body Shop to look for a lip balm and came across the Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter.
Basically it is a hardened oil-based cleanser that breaks down make-up on your face, including waterproof mascara and tricky eyeliner wings. I have found the holy grail!
I've almost finished my first pot of it and I'm desperate for some more. Because it is made with camomile oil, it is super smoothing and soothing for red, blotchy and even super sensitive skin, all of which, I have.
To use, you collect some of the product in your fingers and massage it gently all over the face, it works as a break down agent for make-up and really lifts left over product from your face. I use it on a dry, make-up covered face making sure to get the creases of my nostrils (where pesky blackheads can pop up) and around my hair line. Once you look like you've been punched in the face, take a damp muslin cloth (also available from the Body Shop for like, £2 BEST. INVENTION. EVER.) and wipe away!
The Camomile oil in the cleansing butter leaves my skin feeling incredibly soft and squeaky clean and it smells amazing.
The Camomile range from the body shop includes lots of different products and after falling completely in love with the cleaning butter, I went back in pursuit for more deliciously smelling things.
I found the entire range on the shelves, but when I bought them, I got them in some sort of deal/ promotion pack which included: Camomile Gentle Eye Make-up Remover, Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil and some beautiful soothing eye gel that also contains Camomile.
From the pictures I have taken, the most obvious difference between the Cleaning Butter and the Silky Cleansing Oil (while the two products sound pretty similar) is that one is a liquid in a pumpy bottle, the other is a hardened oil. Personally, I love both. I genuinely cannot fault either of them other than the Silky Cleansing Oil is a little bit messier than the hardened oil, so if you're not a fan of oily hands or find those kinds of things little hard to manage, then I'd point you in the direction the hardened oil.
My skin still has a few spots from working in a warm environment however, I am going to bed feeling confident that my skin is clean and well looked after and it feels even better in the morning.
What's your favourite skin care product?
