Ultra Cleansing Pads

I have heard about these Cleansing Pads from Caroline Hirons. If you don't know who she is I recommend you to check her out here. She is a skin care specialist and she always talks about really good skincare and how to use it and why. I have tried Nip+ Fab Cleanings Pads and they were cleansing but I wanted more from them. Now I am about half way though Clearasil and I must say I love love love it. 

It says that it reduces oil & shine - I don't know maybe a little but then again I don't have oily skin and it certainly doesn't dry mine out. 

Unblocks Pores - well I never believe this statement, it is exfoliating so it maybe cleans them out. I suppose unblocking is a better word for cleaning. 

Evens skin tone - ah I doubt that. 

Removes dirt and Exfoliates which is essentially the same as unblocking pores. 

Yes it is exfoliating and I love that because it is not messy. You take a pad, I think one side is a little sharper than the other and you exfoliate. I always wash my face after using this or any cleansing product to be honest, I just don't like them on my skin. 

This smells strongly of spirit. It smells so strong it will make your eyes water. It has salicylic and citric acids that are good for killing bacterial so trust me your face will feel super clean. 

It cost £5.99 and you'll find 65 pads in a tub, which I think it is a good value for money.

Since I started using cleansing pads I noticed that my spots had a little chill. They do come on but not as often or as many as I used to have. They also heal fast. 

I really like the fact that it is exfoliating as I don't need a separate exfoliating product and it is softer than some exfoliating products. You also just need one pad to do your whole face. I usually do mine after I had full face of make up, before I go to bed. I'd love to go to be with really cleans skin that's the only reason why I use it at night. On the days I don't wear make up I tend to use face wash and call it a day.

What are your exfoliating go to products? How do you fight your spots?

Skin care

Cleansing!

OK I take my skin for granted. I've got good skin and I do get breakouts and I have a lot of blackheads that I tent to pick A LOT! (Bad Izabele) Please don't do it, you just gonna spread the bacteria and eventually get even more spots. 

Having said that I do try to take care of my skin. I am only 20 years old so I think I don't need any serums that are packed with ageing stopping ingredients. During that day I have a selection of moisturizers that I use depending on my make up and I only give my skin a little pumper at night. Maybe that's not enough but my skin is still happy. (touch wood) 

After a long day I would use eye remover to take of my eye make-up, (if I am wearing foundation I would run the same cotton pad across my face) then I take Garnier Micellar water and clean my face. I take a Nip+Fab  cleansing pad to clean my face again. It is packed with lots of acids to kill the bacteria on your skin; the same bacteria that make your spots appear. My final step is to wash my face with Clearasil face wash which leaves my skin squeaking clean, literally. Because you strip your skin of it's natural oils you will be in desperate need of moisturizing. Your skin would feel dry like a piece of paper and it is super uncomfortable. 

Nip+Fab cleansing pads I found in Superdrug and they were on a deal so I paid £3.59 but originally it cost about £6. This is a good price as First AID cleansing pads are over £20 and it does pretty similar job. 

Clearasil  gel wash I got from Boots for £5.99 however, I am sure you would find it everywhere even in super markets. 

I've been using this combination for over a week and I must say it did prevent a lot of spots (as I was coming to that time of month and usually I get bad breakouts). Of course you must try yourself to know if it works for you. It might be a bit too much for your skin as it literally leaves your skin dry. I think this would be amazing for people with oily skin and if you have acne. 

If you wanna know more about skincare and what ingredients you should be using to help with your spots you should read Caroline Hirons' blog.
