Clean and Clear - Spot Treatment Gel







Clean and Clear Review 


Let me just say that apparently I’m 24 going on 13. I don’t know what happened but I’ve suddenly broken out like a pubescent teenager. Hormones, stress, not sure what. Either which way, we all get pimples now and then and for whatever reason I’ve suddenly got months worth at once.  During a recent food  shop in Tesco I stopped in the skin care aisle to look for some creams or spot treatment or a magic wand to help my face be normal looking again. I browsed through the aisle and stopped at the Clean & Clear products as I remember liking some of their when I was younger. I came across a few very similar products and to be honest with you I don’t know the exact difference between them, but I picked up Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment its about 5.50euro


The packaging  says that 100% of users saw a difference within 4 hours of application. That’s a pretty hugh claim and I was anxious to see how it would help my problem area. The directions said to cleanse skin and apply 3 times daily. I haven’t been wearing any makeup to allow my skin time to heal so as soon as I got home I applied it. It is clear, has a chemical scent and the consistency is a thin gel. Upon using it felt cool on my skin and tingled/stung a little bit – which I was glad about. 

I came back for a peek a few hours later and I was shocked. The puffiness of each blemish had decreased as had the redness surrounding it. I knew they claimed I would see results almost immediately but I didn’t think I actually would. As this product does create a thin film on the face I washed it off and applied more to fresh skin. After applying it 4 times (I know they said 3 but you can’t stop me now!) I was amazed and am thrilled to say that I saw a remarkable difference in just one day.

I am so happy to have found this product. I do not often have break outs as grand as this but believe this product will be useful in combating even the random pimple that appears.

Lush Buffy Review








LUSH Buffy review



First time I bought Buffy was only a couple of weeks ago,I know people have been raving for years about Buffy, but tbh I only brought it as my bum has tiny little red spots on it,and nothing else was working for me so, I said what the hell, I wanted something moisturizing to keep my skin smooth and as elastic as possible since I am super prone to stretch marks and spots in and around that area.

Buffy comes in two different sizes. I got a smaller one since it was my first time using it. I am sorry that I didnt get the bigger size now.  It is an amazing product I will for sure be buying this again.

Buffy is solid bar that fits nicely in a hand. What might confuse you is that officially it's called body butter. But again it's a body scrub! Well you do get two in one. How great is that? 

Buffy is meant to be used in shower. I have to admit it took me couple of uses to figure out how to get best out of it. It really needs to be warmed up under the warm shower and make sure your skin is really wet. If not you will just scratch your skin.

It has ground almonds and aduki beans that do the scrubbing part. I have to worn you it is not a gentle scrub, actually it's probably the roughest I've tried. BUT great thing about it is that also has cocoa and Shea butter to moisturize the skin. When you rinse off exfoliating bits skin is left so super smooth and moisturized. It does leave oily residue that I adore. I assume if you do not have really dry skin or you like lightweight lotions you wouldn't like this. Except for the great exfoliating action, my favorite is the "oily residue" part. I do not need body butter or lotion after Buffy. It really saves my time! But this is not for quick shower when you have to get dressed immediately because residue takes a while to soak into the skin.

If you want your skin to be super smooth and beautiful looking then,you should go buy this product. It is amazing and I will buy it again soon!
