Advice on acne

 
I have had bad acne for quite a while now and getting rid of it has always been a massive problem of mine, but I have found a series of products which have helped my acne slowly go away.
 

The picture on the left is from august 2014 when my acne was really bad and it still is in some ways. After this break out I began a regular skin care routine which consists of these products:
1. Product one is a moisturiser which I believe is by the brand Creightons - its a perfectly clear balancing mattifying moisturiser which also claims to help control problem skin, help prevent spots and blackheads, it has a matt finish non oily formula for all skin types.

how will this product help my skin?

this moisturiser contains Salicylic acid which gets rid of spots, so if you have spot ridden skin try and get a product with Salicylic acid in.


2.  Epiduo gel is a product I got from my doctor it contains benzoyl peroxide which is also in the acne.org products and truly works to help get rid of spots.  so if you can't get hold of this specific product have a look at acne.org .


3.  This product may come as a surprise as it is make up, this foundation is seventeen's on the spot. the foundation also contains salicylic acid and claims you'll have clearer skin  in 4 weeks. I picked this product up when I spent a few days away in London, it was discounted and I needed a new foundation so I bought it. I am so happy I bought this product as not only is it a light weight, easy to apply foundation and its sold at such an affordable price.

here is a picture of my skin now - today even I have no make up on and in the matter of 5 months my skin is almost clear in comparison to the photo above.

    I don't personally suffer with acne which I am very lucky for, but I hope your acne clears up and the product continues to work! Lovely blog!

My Summer Book Challenge - TBR

Image
Hello Lovelies, As of tomorrow it is the first week of the six week holidays in the UK aka the summer holidays (vacation). So I thought I would set my self a challenge to read at least 6 books one for each week!  Here is the first book that I am currently reading!  The Mortal Instruments City Of Ashes This is the second book in the The Mortal Instruments Series when I started the first book I thought it would just be another annoying over the top fantasy novel especially after seeing the (awful) film of it but I judged a book by its cover and fell in love with the series the characters are so well developed and I am in love with the way Cassandra Clare writes! Most authors that write in 3rd person I hate because i feel like it is so disconnected to the characters but she doesn't do that you can acknowledge the characters emotions, thoughts, beliefs and why the characters act a certain way! I am just in love with this book series!  I thought to continue with the next book ...

Dear Nicole Arbour | *Rant*

Hello, Disclaimer: i do not know nicole, i haven't seen any of her videos so i am simply building my opinion of her from this video. she may be the loveliest person in the world but i just wanted to address this video and my opinion of it! This is a rant so apologise for any spelling errors or if I offend you.  Watch the video:  http://youtu.be/CXFgNhyP4-A This may not be what I usually post on here but i felt like I had to adress this. One of the most controversial youtube videos I have ever seen was uploaded on the 3rd of september entitled Dear Fat People. I have just watched that video and I am appalled not only by her using being bigger than the average person as a joke but her ideas to stop people from being 'fat' disgust me.  Even  at the start she says people are already mad at the video. why upload a video that you know will offend millions of people globally? What i am saying is that is she trying to shock people? for what ever reasons i don't know maybe sh...

My Fave 80s Movies

Image
Hello Lovelies, I have to admit I kind of love anything 80s or just anything vintage! So here is my post on some of my favourite 80s movies, these are MY favourite 80s movies I am in no way saying they are overall the best 80s movies of all time and no over movie can top these. The 1980s is known for its pop music, big hair and crazy fashion trends but it also has some great movies and here are some of my favourites. Pretty In Pink (1986) Pretty in pink is a teen romance movie starring Molly Ringwald who is infamous for playing the ‘Princess’ in the breakfast club but in pretty in pink she takes the role of the outcast Andie along with her characters best friend in the movie Duckie played by the Two and a Half men star Jon Cryer they go through school unnoticed until a rich and popular boy called Blane asks Andie out. My Review – This movie is incredibly cheesy like a lot of romance movies of the 80s but that is what makes this movie great it stars some of...
