As many of you now know if you read my reviews I've become a proper gym junkie of late! I live at the gym, I train really hard and am actually thinking of training as a fitness instructor! However not only am I finding that I'm gaining weight and muscles rapidly (which is and was the plan lol) I'm gaining something else! I've always suffered spots but of late because of sweating what feels like all the time working out not only do I have the usual spots but my skin is really (and I mean really) getting congested with blackheads which is really making my complection look dull. I've got outbreaks on my cheeks and on my chin and if I squeeze them (yes I know I ...  Read the complete review

As I am unable to use soap on my face, due to combination/sensitive skin with occasional outbreaks, I have a used a variety of cleansing gels and facial washes over the years. I picked this one up for the first time a few years back, after using the Garnier Fresh 24 hr day cream, which I was impressed with, when I saw it on offer in Boots, when the Garnier products were on a 3 for 2 deal. *The price* It currently retails for around £3.15 for 150ml, available at Boots, Tesco, Semi Chem and most Chemists and Supermarkets. However, I don't think I have ever paid full price for it, usually a bit of shopping around and I can get it on offer, once as ...  Read the complete review

Garnier, with that woman who whispers the name at the end of the adverts. There are no whispering women in my bathroom, which is just as well because this is a product that you want to use in private! The Skin Naturals range is designed for people on a budget, but for those who take good care of our skin. There are a range of products to be picked from. This Cleansing Wash is designed as a daily wash for faces. This means it can replace soap in a skincare regime. The best way to use is is after a bath, then standing at the sink in a mirror so you can where you are applying it to. Take some of the liquid into the hands and work into a lather. When I did it, a ...  Read the complete review

~~What is it?~~ It is a soap free cleansing wash designed for normal and combination skin. It is stated as combining " purifying agents with pure fruit waters " to rid skin of traces of make-up and dirt; leaving you feeling clean, fresh, and with your skin being able to breathe. The skin naturals range uses natural ingredients wherever possible. ~~How easy is it to use?~~ Very easy to use. Like most other cleansers, massage a small amount between wet palms and smooth over face and then rinse off. I have always been able to work this into my daily routine without any struggle. ~~What is it ...  Read the complete review

Having run out of my Gatineau cleanser, I popped into superdrug and saw this on special offer for around £2. It's not really a cleanser I would normally try as I like to use higher end products (I'm not a rich snob I'm a poor student, I just think you get what you pay for with these things!). But I thought I'd give it a try since I had run out. The cleanser is a very thick clear, colourless gel which is kind of aerated with lots of bubbles through it. I found it to have a fruity smell similar to grapes with a hint of mint to it - very pleasant and not too synthetic smelling. You only need a very tiny blob of this stuff as it lathers really well into a thick ...  Read the complete review
