CombinationOily Skin<br />
If your skin, like mine, can be very temperamental, one minute it’s soft and supple, the next it’s dry yet<br />
strangely oily, then look no further than the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Gel. This absolute<br />
beauty of a moisturiser is yellow in colour which glides onto the skin perfectly, I can really feel it hydrating<br />
and moisturising my face. What’s even better is that it acts as an amazing base for applying makeup, making<br />
foundation blend into the skin beautifully. I am totally in love with this moisturiser<br />
and I think it is perfect for oily and combination skin in the cold winter months,<br />
ensuring that your skin does not become dry whilst minimising the oiliness found<br />
in the t-zone area of the face. For £17.50 it is on the pricey side… but the gel-like<br />
consistency of the product means a little goes a long way, and it seriously does, my<br />
bottle has lasted me 7 months!<br />
Hydrating<br />
Beauty<br />
Hydration is absolutely key throughout the<br />
autumn and winter months (I know, where<br />
did the summer go?) and this applies to<br />
all skin types, oily, dry, sensitive, ageing<br />
and young. For the past few years I have<br />
tried and tested various moisturisers, both<br />
high end and high street to try and fi nd the<br />
perfect one which would make my dry and<br />
dull weather worn skin become fresh and<br />
awake….so not much to ask eh?<br />
Only recently have I discovered the wonders and benefits of using an eye cream daily and a little<br />
really does go a long way! One of my favourites is The Miracle Worker by Philosophy, which<br />
is tinted and quite thick, making it a good base for applying make up underneath the eyes.<br />
Personally, I feel that this can be used on any skin type, not just ageing, and I can’t comment on<br />
it reducing wrinkles! However, it definitely covers the dark circles and I do feel like my make<br />
up looks more radiant when applied over this eye cream. If you are looking to invest in an eye<br />
cream that will reduce the signs of ageing as well as making you look more glowing and radiant,<br />
then definitely look no further than this!<br />

Moments<br />
Normal<br />
Skin<br />
If you are a lover of a<br />
spa-like feel from your<br />
skincare products, then<br />
look no further than<br />
the photo. If there is<br />
any brand of skin care<br />
products that never<br />
cease to amaze me, it’s<br />
Liz Earle, all of their<br />
products are absolutely<br />
worth the price tag. The<br />
moisturiser smells so<br />
pure and natural and<br />
blends so nicely into the<br />
skin, afterwards you’re<br />
left feeling refreshed<br />
and awake – just like<br />
you’ve visited the spa!<br />
If there are any products<br />
I can recommend for<br />
getting rid of blemishes<br />
and acne and that<br />
would give your skin a<br />
well needed revitalised<br />
boost no matter what<br />
age, it is Liz Earle.<br />
Just one week after<br />
purchasing their Hot<br />
Cloth Cleanser my skin<br />
was completely clear –<br />
and that never happens!<br />
As if you don’t already<br />
need more tempting,<br />
the moisturiser is<br />
packed with natural<br />
ingredients such as<br />
borage and avocado<br />
oil, beta-carotene and<br />
vitamin E. Again, the<br />
price tag is a little hefty<br />
at £19.50, but a little<br />
does go a long way,<br />
and trust me, it will be<br />
one of the best skincare<br />
purchases you make!<br />
Any products with a * have<br />
been sent to me but my<br />
opinions are my own.<br />
Ageing and Dry Skin<br />
If you are looking for a moisturiser that will transform your ageing complexion into a<br />
youthful and more radiant one then look no further than the Dr Organic Intensive Daily<br />
Treatment Day Cream*. This moisturiser is extremely nourishing and rich, which I found<br />
unusual for a daily treatment. However, I tested this moisturiser on a few people other<br />
than myself and found that it works absolute wonders not just on ageing skin but for very<br />
dry skin too. If I had a day where my skin felt tight and dry, just popping some of this<br />
moisturiser onto my face instantly gave my skin a wake up call, which is why I think it is<br />
perfect for applying during the winter months when your skin really needs a boost! Even<br />
on my young skin, this moisturiser left my skin feeling firmer and more awake, definitely<br />
something I wasn’t expecting! Also, for the price of just £8.19 I am seriously impressed<br />
with the glass packaging, making it look far more expensive than it really is.<br />
