A luxurious and effective skincare kit from The Body Shop

Advantages: Extremely luxurious, very effective and smells gorgeous
Disadvantages: None for me

...I love trying and testing new products, particularly toiletries and whilst I found my perfect cleanser many months ago, I was delighted to receive The Body Shop?s Seaweed Skincare Kit as a gift a couple of months ago. The gorgeous sea blue coloured zipped net gift bag contained four items from the range, namely Deep Cleansing Facial Wash, Clarifying Toner, Mattifying Day Cream and Clarifying Night Treatment. Attached to a silver chunky chain, which is attached to the zip is a circular penny sized silver emblem displaying The Body Shop logo together with a number of cardboard tags, which provide further details of each of the products contained within the kit. To enable me to achieve the best results my normal cleansing and moisturising products were pushed to the side whilst I tried and tested the four items; all of which were used...

Review of The Body Shop Seaweed Skincare Kit

Crashed out skincare

Advantages: moisturising, soothing, gentle on sensitive skin, fresh
Disadvantages: it's being discountinued!

...This is a face mask with a difference, only natural ingredients are used and it's freshly made. This means that you'll be getting the best of the vitamins and nutrients, but it causes the product to have a short life span of around 2-3 weeks.

Lush say "All skins need tender loving care. A blend your mum would create is she knew what she was doing.

Review of Lush A Crash Course In Skin Care

  Neurotic Males Guide to Skincare

Advantages: Works, Looks Nice, Great Results
Disadvantages: Expensive, Uses Some Controversial Ingredients

...Since the time I was born I have had very dry skin; as a child I used Hydrocortisone cream which only ever soothed the itching and flaking for a while and then caused the dryness to flare up again, with the added bonus of making my skin hyper sensitive. It wasn't until I became an image obsessed, self absorbed, love hungry teenager that it actually began to bother me (turning up to high school with dry skin peeling off your face is not the ticket to popularity, apparently). Along with super dryness I also managed to get the few spots, which eventually turned into more than a few spots... So being a thoroughly neurotic male I took my money to the nearest Beatties, looked for the cosmetic station with the prettiest assistant and got a free 'Clinique consultation'.... and I have been using their products ever since. The 3 step skincare...
