La Roche Posay Serozinc - My skin saviour!

Now available to buy in the UK this blue bottle is very much worth it!

Previously only available to purchase in France... it's finally here!

Dubbed as a toner / facial mist, it also treats your face. Calming and soothing blemishes, sores and other ailments due to the zinc content.

A spritz of this after cleansing and you will see the difference in your skin.

It is a lovely refreshing, hydrating and calming toner. I use this as my second toner to help calm and soothe irritation. More importantly, to treat and prevent any future blemishes.
I have sensitive skin and I find I get on really well with this spray on toner. Doesn't leave my skin feeling tight or stingy and dries quickly to allow you to carry on with your other skincare regime. I have definitely seen a major improvement in my skin. Those pesky breakouts around my chin area have really calmed down and the ones I do get seem to go a lot quicker and don't seem to be as angry!

Contains 0.10% concentration of Zinc Sulfate as-well as 0.75% concentration of Sodium Chloride.
Excess oiliness is eliminated, whilst the skin is soothed and future blemishes are reduced with continued use due to its astringent properties.

Close your eyes and spritz a fine mist all over your face. Feels lovely cooling and refreshing and I can see me using this non stop come the hot summer months!!

Currently on offer 2 for £10 with the usual price being £7.50 its a bargain worth bagging! Escentual.com

How to treat Pre-teenage Acne breakouts

I was on the hunt for a gentle but effective cleanser and treatment lotion for my son, who as he approaches his teen years, has started to get a few spots! 

Now you know something works when it runs out and you feel a sense of panic if you don't have another one. 

My son felt this exact rise of panic when the tube of La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo he'd been using ran out. ... If it goes on the shopping list above milk and bread AND chocolate!! Then you know it's good-Un!!

I have to admit the two step attack on his pre-teen spots really seems to be keeping them at bay, with the odd appearance now and again which is to be expected. He is extremely happy and has stuck to the routine religiously!! Which surprised me.

So here's what I recommended for him.....

Vichy Dermablend to cover a Multitude of Flaws!!

Vichy Dermablend

How I use the Foundation, Concealer stick & Setting Powder.

Who knew these little hero's were hidden away in the skincare isle of Boots?
Not where they should be... pride of place, on display in the make-up section!!

These little gems from Vichy do a fantastic job of disguising unwanted flaws or imperfections. The foundation is light to wear, that even if you dislike the feeling of foundation on your skin, this one is worth a try. There is no mask effect and is very comfortable to wear.
When used with conjunction with the Vichy setting powder, sets to a smudge and water resistant finish.

So here's how I use them...

When spots attack.....Effaclar Duo + Origins

Spot treatments I have found to work for me and help calm the redness.

I am always on the hunt for spot busting creams and serums, 
that work and do what they promise to do. 

After trialling lots of different types i now have it narrowed down to these little heroes.

I don’t have lots of spots (did when i was younger) but instead have pesky stubborn ones that seem to stick around forever. Especially by my chin. 
Then i’ll get the occasional angry deep rooted red one, that has its own postcode!!
That's when i go full force into blitz mode!!
