Like most girls of my age I am constantly trying to find a skin care routine that keeps my spots at bay. I've never really had bad acne but due to being pale skinned whenever I do have a break out my skin has red blotches for weeks after the spots has gone.
Whilst looking for my usual face wash in Tesco I saw an offer on the brand Skin Wisdom. I'd previously read some great reviews on their products and so thought I'd give it a shot.
I bought the Skin Wisdom Skin Essentials Cleansing Milk (200ml) and the Skin Wisdom Skin Essentials Refreshing Toner (200ml). They are both £2.50 each.
You massage the cleansing milk into your face and neck using small circular movements. Remove excess
cleanser with cotton wool, followed by using Skin Essentials Refreshing Toner. It says that you do not need to remove make up before hand but I found that using the cleanser on its own does not remove it all and so I used a face wipe before hand. The cleansing milk is SO soothing and made my face feel so clean and refresh! It will last a long time as well, but even if it didn't at £2.50 each its not exactly leaving a hole on your purse!
The refreshing toner is used after the cleanser to remove any left over impurities and by looking at the cotton wool pad after use it definitely does its job. The only problem was that it seemed a bit to strong and my skin stung a little after use and felt tight. However, this only lasted a few seconds and is probably due to me having sensitive skin.
After a week of use I can safely say that my skin looks and feels a lot clearer. For the price and quality of this product I give it a 10/10 and will definitely keep it as my daily routine for the foreseeable future.
What are your daily skin care routines?

I got this gift set for Christmas from my Aunt and up until last week I hadn't used it! However, due to the cold and snow I felt I needed to start moisturising on a daily basis as my skin was suffering from the horrible weather. I'd also like to apologise for the awful quality of the pictures! My camera has broken and so I'm having to use my iPhone until I get it fixed.
The box and tubes it comes in are girly and elegant, with pin up girls on the front. I find myself wanting to keep the set in the box and putting it somewhere I can regularly see it as I think its so pretty.
These 5 moisturisers are the perfect size (50ml) to put in your handbag or take on your travels. They are from M&S and were around £6 or £7.
The body lotion is a super light moisturiser which left my skin feeling smooth and hydrated. It didn't take long to soak into the skin and so thankfully I wasn't stood in the bathroom, semi naked, for too long in the cold. The only down side is that because it is so small I've nearly used it all up in one go but for a travel sized product I guess that's expected!
I have yet to use the bath cream as I'm living in halls at the moment and so don't have a bath! But from how amazing all the other products are I am going to assume this is of good quality too.
The body polish is used to buff up your body by gently exfoliating away any dead skin. It smells absolutely gorgeous as it is blended with coconut shell granules (exfoliating).
Although I wasn't blown away by the shower cream it did its job well and smelled lovely. Again, because of its small size it will probably be empty by the end of the next use.
The hand lotion that came within the set is by far the best product. It is a very light hand lotion that does not take long to set in and left my skin feeling nourished and silky smooth. Again like all the other products in the set the fragrance is beautiful and not over powering.
All in all I give this gift set a 8/10. Its good quality for the price, fits easily into your bag and I do recommend buying.
Again, apologies for the poor quality pictures, hopefully my camera will be fixed soon! I would also love your opinion on my blog so far (I know there's not alot to go off yet)! Where am I going wrong? What could I improve on? And what would you like to see more of.
