I never really normally suffer badly with dry skin but in the last couple months I've had a few dry patches on my cheeks, so I've added the hydration boost back into my routine. Almost instantly the dryness had eased up and keeping on top of using this along with other products in my skincare routine, my skin isn't as dry as it used to be and instead feels soft & hydrated after every use. It's a very light-weight gel cream and sinks right into the skin without leaving it feeling greasy after application. You only need to apply a small amount too so this little jar will last you a while. -

I think this is one of Ole Henriksen's most popular products, I see so many people using this all the time on Instagram and I'm so glad this was in the Balance Babies Mattifying Oil Control Set that I got a while ago from Boots. It's taken me a while to try this as I've been trying to use up some of my older face masks first but I've definitely been missing out as this is such an amazing mask! Initially, I was a little worried that this wasn't going to be for me as I wasn't sure how this was going to react with my sensitive skin but this didn't irritate my skin at all. It smells minty fresh, leaves a lovely cooling sensation feel to my face and my skin is instantly refreshed & feels smooth once it's rinsed off. I'm 100% going to be purchasing the full size once this comes back in stock as I absolutely love this, it's definitely my new favourite mask! -

I've seen this cleanser all over my instagram feed so I picked it up from Boots when it was on offer a couple months ago. My favourite cleanser is one the Fourth Ray Beauty BFD Cleansing Oil so I always compare back to this one and there are definitely a couple of differences. This is fragranced and smells of oranges; my skin is sensitive so I'm not crazy about my skincare containing fragrance but this didn't irritate my skin when taking off my makeup (Ole Henriksen have since explained that this contains no artificial fragrance and the orange scent comes from orange fruit water). The only thing it's not great for is taking off my eye makeup as it's quite strong so can sting my eyes when taking off mascara, although it does do the job. My skin does feel smooth and refreshed afterwards so if you were thinking about picking this up, then I can definitely recommend it. It is worth the money as a small amount does go a long way and every bit of makeup was removed in an instant. -

This has become such a staple in my skincare routine! It's a very thin formula/texture so you have to be very careful when squeezing this out of the bottle as it can go everywhere but you really do only need the smallest amount of this product. It sinks into the skin quickly, giving your skin that little extra boost of hydration that it needs both in the morning and at night. The only downside is the packaging; it can be a little difficult to control the amount of product that does come out but if you use this constantly like I do, it becomes less of an issue as you get used to it and this small bottle will actually last you for quite a while. -

This is such a great product for removing makeup. I've only ever used a cleansing balm when it's been in a tub so already for me this is better as it's in a tube because I don't know about you, but with a tub you more or less always find yourself constantly reaching into the tub with your fingers to get the product out, unless of course you have one of those spatulas but not all of them come with those, so already this can be seen as a much more hygienic way to apply a cleansing balm. The product is a little thick so it can be a little hard to get out, however this does actually make it easier to control how much product comes out as you only need a pea-sized amount as this much will be enough to remove a full face of makeup. It's gentle enough for the eyes and it's not fragranced so it's the perfect cleanser for those with sensitive skin. I love the fact that on the back of the tube it also says it can be used as a face mask so I put this to the test too. If you're after something gentle and to soothe your skin, then this is the product for you. -

I've been eyeing up Dermalogica products for a while now and heard a lot about them. Their ultra calming range was at the top of my list; this product in particular does come in a mini size for just £19 but I managed to grab the full size bottle on sale for a bargain price of just £17 (usually £38) and at that price, I just had to pick it up to see if it really was worth the hype. To me, this is a miracle in a bottle. As soon as I applied this, the redness did instantly disappear and any irritation I had completely vanished. I wish I had taken a before and after picture to show just what it's like but I've honestly never tried anything like this before. Dermalogica's prices may be high but their products do work. If you can afford to buy them, then I say go for it. -

I've only been using a sample of this moisturiser that I managed to get in a set online but I absolutely love this. It's a lightweight gel moisturiser, which is what I typically go for when I look for a new one as I find these sink into my skin a lot better than a standard cream moisturiser. I'm not always the biggest fan of fragrance but this doesn't irritate my skin at all, I love the watermelon smell and it's not overpowering either. This definitely does leave your skin glowing & dewy and my skin feels so moisturised and refreshed after using this. -

I don't use this as a wash or a mask as I have other products for that so I typically just use this as a face scrub and surprisingly it's not caused any irritation to my skin and my skin definitely feels a lot smoother after I use this. It hasn't done anything for my scarring but it has helped to control my breakouts and I'm definitely feeling more confident with my skin since adding this back into my routine again after not using it for a while. -
