Ultimate Dry Skin Solution!

The skin on my face is... horrendous, that's a fact.
I am forever getting spots, trying to get rid of them and ending up with dry, scaly skin. Nice. After going through many many moisturisers and not getting the right results, I took drastic action and choose the most intense moisturiser I could find.
E45 Cream.
'Treatment for Dry Skin Conditions'
 Yepp that's me.

Beautiful Stuff

It worked absolute miracles, left my skin with no hint of dryness but yet not oily. Perfect.

My skin has slightly improved growing older and less of lose pesky hormones so I have actually moved onto the E45 Lotion.

 It is a lot  lighter than the cream. To put it on simply squeeze a small amount out and it spreads well, at night I put on two coats of this, since my wipes and cleanser leaves it very dry and tight feeling.

For me E45 is fab and at a low price, around £3 per bottle, and can be bought at any drug store or supermarket. Also in competition with it was Liz Earle's "Skin Repair Moisturiser' which I couldn't speak any higher of, but unfortunately mine ran out, and I find it a tab pricey unfortunately.

Note: this is also great for dry legs/arms/hands... everything!!

Mud Therapy - Deep Cleansing Mud Mask

'Superdrug Deep Cleansing mud mask with natural mineral benefits of dead sea mud naturally detoxifies and remineralises. This clay based mask will help promote a clearer complexion, leaving skin softer and rejuvenated'

While out shopping the other day I decided to treat myself (and skin) to a face mask.

Now, i'm not really the face mask type of girl, and i've always associated them with early teen sleepovers where it was the fun highlight of the night.
Now as a late teen, I am once again giving them ago.

This is what I went for, it is the 'mud therapy' Deep Cleansing Mid Mask' by Superdrug.

There was also one with Aloe Vera in it... but I preferred the purple bottle, so got this one which contains 75ml of 'mud'

It's a great size as not being too big means its easy to bring for a night away, but not small enough that it runs out quickly!

After removing all makeup and washing my face the time came to apply it. It comes out of the bottle a mud colour (surprise surprise), then when applied to the face is a dark green, and as it dries a light green.

When I applied it at first to my face, it stung a little. Now, i'm not sure if that's just me or happens for everybody (i'll let you know after the next slumber party). Though as it dried in, the stinging stopped so I guessed it was all right.

Casual

You leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes and after all you have to do is 'rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry' so I did. 

It did leave my skin feeling a lot softer and cleaner after so I was very happy with my little purchase. Thursday nights have become 'Facemask Thursdays' (to me) and I look forward to my little weekly treat. 

Though if your expecting a miracle cure for all spots on your face you wont get it, sadly the wee buggers were still there after the 15 minute mask. (Not that I expected them to be gone).

Overall conclusions; a great product for the tiny price of £2.59.
