As I've mentioned before my skin is terrible. I've never really got to understand my skin as it regularly changes. I'm not sure if this has been down to recent changes in my life and the stress that has come with it, changes with hormones and contraception or if my skin is just getting back in to it's past routine of playing up whenever the hell it feels like it.
Nether the less I recently started a routine using Clinque's three step anti blemish. I've found this has helped my skin stop breaking out as much and leaves it feeling soft, clean and gives a good base for my make up.
I still have hang ups though and especially hate the size of my pores and my acne scaring.
I've heard lots of good things about Origins. Through reading blogs and through other bloggers suggestions especially at CFW. A mask that Laura suggested to try help clear the appearance and size of my pores was the origins clear improvement mask. I think it's something I'm going to have to try, even if I can get a cheeky sample. Origins is a brand I've wanted to try for a while so with this suggestion I'm going to give it a go.
I then whilst reading Charli's blog came across the brand witch. She especially recommended the witch blemish stick and gel and the concealers. Boots currently have a 3 for 2 offer on and considering the price and the reviews I've seen I think I'm going to pick up some of these products to try.
My scaring is something I'm not exactly a huge fan about. I'm hoping I can resist the urge to pick the spots that do sometimes show up by blobing the blemish stick or gel over them so I don't increase the amount of scars I do have.
I'm also excited to try out the make up. I find it's sometimes my make up that makes my skin worse and causes my skin to react badly. The make up has the same spot fighting properties as the gels and washes. I'm not sure which concealer to I'm going to purchase yet. I do tend to find it easier with a liquid concealer rather than a stick as I find it hard to blend with a stick. I may even purchase both though to find which works best for me.
As I mentioned for the price alone, this brand is one I want to try out. I'll try keep you updated to see if they work for me.
Love
