My Top Five
Beauty Products I Can’t Live Without
So I’m
one of those really lucky people with dry, sensitive skin that reacts to
EVERYTHING. These are my top five products that work wonders for problem skin…
1. Benefit 'The Porefessional' This stuff is amazing on all skin
types, especially dry skin. It is the smoothest primer I have found, that helps
to cover dry skin as well as diminishing pores and providing a great base for
your make-up. I have one at home and one in my
make-up bag at all times, as you can even top up over your foundation: what’s
not to love?!
2. No.7 Beautiful Skin Radiance
Exfoliator
Sticking with the face, this scrub is another amazing product. It is
recommended as a once or twice weekly treatment, but I actually use it most
days, as it is not too harsh to upset my skin. It always leaves my face feeling
soft, fresh and most importantly, free of any dry, flaky skin…because no-one
wants a bad skin day.
3. 8 Hour Cream Without any competition, this is
the best cream for healing dry skin and spots. It’s not an immediate solution
(nothing is) but it’s pretty damn good. I put it on before bed, applying
liberally to affected areas, and let it soak in and work its magic while I sleep.
Cheap? No. Worth it? Absolutely.
4. L’Oreal Elvive Specifically, Re-nutrition . Annoyingly, this formula has become increasingly difficult to get, as
the newer ones have taken over, but it’s the best. (In my opinion). Out of many
products I have tried, this shampoo and conditioner are the only ones which
protect and nourish my hair and scalp without drying them out. And it smells
delicious…bonus!
5. Hemp Hand Protector (and Lip Balm) This stuff is incredible. It’s
smooth, moisturising and is the most effective hand cream I’ve used so far. Mum
introduced me to it last winter and I haven’t looked back. Also a quick shout-out
to the Hemp Lip Balm, equally amazing product, great for dried out lips, whether
from sun or cold. I haven’t got to the rest of the range yet, but it’s only a matter
of time…
