Sukin Blemish Control Kit

-

My skin is quite prone to spots and blemishes so I really wanted to find a product that would help to control breakouts and reduce the redness I have. I've used Sukin products before but never knew they had a blemish control range until recently. The Sukin Blemish Control Kit* (£19.95) contains 4 products to help calm and clear the skin, three are 50ml and one is 15ml so decent sized samples, and handy for travelling with.



Clearing Facial Wash purifies the skin while removing dirt and impurities with Quince and Pomegranate. Pore Perfecting Toner refines and refreshes the skin with Eucalyptus, Tea Tree and Mint. Spot Banishing Gel helps to fight breakouts with Willowherb, Salicylic Acid and Eculyptus, while the Oil Free Moisturiser clarifies and balances the skin with Willowherb, Quince and Moringa.

Willowherb is said to fight the causes of blemishes in just 30 minutes! And while I didn't see a huge improvement that quickly, I did notice a big difference within a day of using these products. My redness was greatly reduced and no new spots formed over the last few weeks of using these products  - up until the point I used a wipe to remove makeup one day....slap on the wrist for me! But the banishing gel has been taking care of that thankfully.

I found the Facial Wash to be lovely, foamed nicely and left my skin feeling clean and fresh. The Toner and Spot Gel was also very nice, but I'm not a huge fan of the moisturiser. I just didn't feel it did enough for my skin. I will be continuing to use the kit but will swap out the moisturiser for something more hydrating. All the products smelt very strongly of Tea Tree, although the smell subsided shortly after application. I don't mind the smell of Tea Tree, however if you don't like Tea Tree then this is not the product for you.

      The moisturiser is lovely, just not hydrating enough for me unfortunately.

Antipodes Aura Manuka Honey Mask

One thing I love about skincare products is a good face mask...who doesn't am I right?! I was very excited this month to be given a chance to test out the Aura Manuka Honey Mask from Antipodes. It is suitable for most skin types, but especially great for blemish prone skin, so perfect for my skin type...in theory. The Antipodes Aura Manuka Honey Mask * is £26.99 and comes in a 75ml foil tube inside a cardboard box (which can both be recycled!) As a little goes a long way, I can see this mask lasting a good amount of time. Containing a blend of Manuka Honey, Avocado oil, Carrot oil, Grape Seed extract, Pohutukawa flower extract and vitamin E alongside essential oils of vanilla and mandarin, this face mask is sure to leave skin soothed and deeply hydrated. Pohutukawa (known as the New Zealand Christmas tree because it flowers gloriously in December) contains antioxidants which help neutralize free radicals, while Manuka Honey contains anti bacterial properties to hel

March Love Lula Beauty Box

The March Love Lula Beauty Box* contains 6 products from brands including Balm Balm, Ayumi, Madara and Soul Tree, with the contents having a total value of £52 which is fantastic value for this box. Love Lula are making some changes to their monthly subscription which will be coming to an end in May. I will miss the surprise treat every month but don't panic! Love Lula will be making the boxes available to purchase on the store individually as opposed to being subscription-based. This provides the opportunity for future Beauty Boxes to be curated with a more defined theme or purpose, which sounds exciting to me and I can't wait to see what the coming months will bring. Anyway....back to the box in hand.... Balm Balm Super Light Coconut Cleanser (£15, 100ml) This gentle cleanser is made from blended coconut oils which have been mechanically extracted from virgin coconut butter making it a super light oil. It can be used on sensitive skin including the eye area making it perfect
