First thing to do before even thinking about touching make-up is washing your hands , in the house we have quite a few liquid soaps but 'Champneys , citrus glow energising hand wash' is my favourite . I was given this by my mum and love the smell ! It has : Eucalyptus , cardamom , orange peel extract and lemon oil . It smells so fresh and I look forward to using it .
After a quick shop in Boots to find a new mild cleanser for my sensitive skin I found ''Boots essentials cucumber facial wash'' , it was so cheap at £1.50 and worth a try ! And so far so good ! Obviously it smells of cucumber so is lovely and refreshing now it's summer - just please don't use too much as I find it foams very well !
Also in my quick shop I found ''Boots tea tree and witch hazel night treatment gel'' this stuff is great !! just please make sure you don't get it anywhere near your eyes at all , they'll burn and stream for days ! I have an issue with spots around my mouth and chin - night time dribbler ? but using this gel after cleansing with the cucumber wash to the bottom half of my face and neck has done a treat , you only need about a 5p size blob so at £2.99 I will definitely buy this again when it runs out , being a gel it doesn't feel greasy and its antibacterial too due to the tea tree .
A product that I always use when I have a spot on its way is ''Neutrogena visibly clear , rapid clear treatment'' its a tiny bottle that you can take anywhere and just apply to the spot and it's meant to work in visibly reducing spots in just 8 hours ! I find it does work really well - it can however make your skin very dry and a little goes a long way .I tried the cleansers that go with it , but they made my skin so dry and itchy ,so they got binned ! Currently for sale in Boots at £3.99 , I might buy this again when it runs out - nearly empty now , but I might try the spot treatment to go with the witch hazel night gel instead !
Something I've been a fan of when my skin is having a really bad day is using distilled witch hazel after cleansing , it calms my skin and can be used on bruises , minor cuts etc. You used to be able to buy a bottle of it from Wilkinsons for about 98p , but the price has gone up to around £1.70 , still worth buying though .
Last year I grabbed two lots of this stuff from Tesco ''Soleil Beauty face defence matte fluid SPF 50'' and I'm glad I picked up two , basically its a SPF 50 face cream protecting against UVA and UVB rays , it has a slight bronze tint in it too , which works fine on my really pale skin .
I love the smell of sweet sweet vanilla ! So I use this spray a lot , it even gets sprayed around the house to freshen throws , bedding and towels . Last time Boots had an offer on 3 for 2 , all the three items I got were this product ! It just smells so yummy .
