Beauty Bay: Skincare Edit

This week I have picked 3 skincare products, from some of my old favorites to more recent additions. After been tried and tested,  I’ll be giving them a rating out of 5. Check them out below:

Nip and Fab Glycolic Fix Daily Cleansing Pads (£12.95)

 I have used this product for about 2 years now and I absolutely swear by it. There are 60 pads in the packet and it lasts me about 60 days as I tend to use 1 pad every morning. The pads are soaked in glycolic acid, hyaluronic acid & blue daisy, which combined, contribute towards re-texture & resurface of the skin, they moisturise & refresh the skin as well as soothe and calm, respectively.  The product is a little bit pricey but one pad goes a long way and works wonders on blocked pores, especially for the problem areas around my nose and chin. My skin feels refreshed and soft after each use. I normally follow the pad treatment with the Glycolic Cleansing Fix and I find, that the combination of the two works even better.

Score: 5/5

Sanctuary Spa Ultimate Cleansing Oil (£12)wp-1474635675751.jpg

 This product is a newbie in my current beauty routine and already one of my faves. I got this gem as I’ve read that oil cleansers are great for removing stubborn make up, such as mascara. I’ve always been an avid user of make-up removal wipes but found that my make-up was never quite fully removed and I would wake up with panda eyes the next morning. So when Boots had a sale on the Sanctuary Spa Ultimate Cleansing Oil (on sale for £9), I decided to take a plunge and give it a go. I’ve got to admit that I was absolutely impressed with the results. The product worked wonders on removing all the make-up from my face, even the stubborn mascara!! The only downfall for me was that you have to wash off the oil afterwards. But other than that, it’s a great cleanser and leaves my skin feeling very smooth and moisturised.

Score: 4/5

Bioré Deep Cleansing Charcoal Pore Strips (£9.49)wp-image-248670759jpg.jpg

I’ve discovered these little strips by accident a couple of months ago, while they were on sale at Superdrug and they are magic! As mentioned above, one of my main problem areas is around my nose, so these little strips really get rid of all the impurities in that area. The box contains 6 strips and lasts me for about 6 weeks, as I use one strip a week to remove all the excess oil. The downfall of this product for me is definitely the price. However, knowing that it works and works well, trumps the high price tag.

Score: 4/5
