INVESTING IN SKIN CARE IS ALWAYS TRICKY, SO MANY BRANDS, SO MANY CLAIMS. MY SKIN IS COMBINATION - OILY IN THE T-ZONE, DRY ON THE CHEEKS. THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A HARD BALANCING ACT AND I TEND TO SHY AWAY FROM HARSH EXFOLIANTS IN FAVOUR OF CREAMS.
THESE MOISTURISERS ARE CURRENTLY ON OFFER IN BOOTS FOR £3.32 EACH (NORMALLY £4.99).
MY PLAN IS TO USE THE MATTIFYING DAY CREAM UNDER MAKEUP EACH DAY TO KEEP EXCESS OILS AT BAY AND LIGHTLY MOISTURISE MY CHEEKS.
AT NIGHT THE HYALURONIC FORMULATION OF THE HYDRATING NIGHT CREAM SHOULD BOOST MY MOISTURISATION AND HELP KEEP EXFOLIATION AT BAY, AS BOTANICS CLAIMS -
"Formulated with hyaluronic acid, proven to immediately boost moisture levels, the nourishing formula leaves skin ready to face the day"
DAY 1 : MATTIFYING
THE CREAM IS EASY TO APPLY AND BLEND, I USED ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT ALL OVER THE FACE. IT SETS TO A LIGHT SATIN FINISH FILM ON THE SKIN.
MY SKIN FEELS TAUGHT AND MATTE, IF A LITTLE DRY ON THE CHEEKS.
AFTER A FEW HOURS A SMALL AMOUNT OF SHINE HAS STARTED TO BREAK THROUGH ON THE T-ZONE.
MY MAKEUP APPLIED BEAUTIFULLY OVER THE MOISTURISER AND AT THE END OF THE DAY I DID NOTICE LESS OIL AND SHINE THAN I WOULD NORMALLY HAVE.
NIGHT 1 : HYDRATING
I PUT A GENEROUS AMOUNT ON AN BLENDED IN THEN HIT THE HAY.
THE NEXT MORNING MY SKIN FELT PLUMPED AND REFRESHED. I ALSO NOTICED A LACK OF DRY PATCHES AND FLAKY SKIN.
SO FAR THESE HAVE BOTH WORKED WONDERS INITIALLY BUT THE PROOF IS IN THE LASTING SO I WILL UPDATE AFTER A WEEK OR SO OF DAILY USE.
BOTANICS . AVAILABLE FROM BOOTS.COM . £3.32
