7 best drugstore face products
For my face, I do tend to break out or always have some sort of blemish on my face.
But over a couple of months lets say more than 6 months, using the products below has tremendously helped me face a lot.
It is very important that you have a facial routine, either once in the morning, day or evening.
I always have a face routine after I come home from either work or university, I take my make-up off and start with my usual night time face routine. I can not stress enough how good it is for the skin to get treated. Just like we need to get food to survive our skin also needs to survive.
St Ives Apricot Face Scrub
This is one of the best scrubs to fight blemishes, the small beads in this products makes you feel as if it is washing all the blemishes away, Within the first week you notice a huge difference. This product is a worthwhile purchase as not only does it make me feel and look healthier, but since it acts as an exfoliator, it removes the dull look and makes it a more radiant skin. I usually wash my face and then add some product on my hand and rub the product between my fingers then massage it onto my face. If I have any bumps or spots appearing, by massaging it, it helps reduce the size and gets rid of the bumpy look on my face afterwards. The best thing about this product is its 90% natural ingredients, what more could you ask for!
Next is Body Shops Tea Tree Face Mask.
This mask you can see an effect immediately, it removes blemishes and you feel as if your skin has become a light shade. It is ideal with this face mask that you do not go directly under the sun as it may cause some irritation. After applying this product, you may feel some sensation as this mask is an anti-acne face mask. But I find that rather soothing and makes me feel it's doing something to my face. But at all times apply some product to see if it causes any allergic reaction then immediately stop using the product and contact your doctor. and contact your doctor. This mask helps remove impurities as it does absorb excess oil produced from our face and calms blemish-prone skin. This mask I don't tend to use this every week, I would say I use it every twice or once every month, because the effect of this mask lasts me for a while, and when my face is having a rough time, then I use it at least once a week. It makes my skin feel calm and refreshed.
Origins Black Charcoal Face Mask
This purchase is not one to regret. This is an amazing product. I definitely would repurchase this time and time again. It does wonders to my face. I feel after I apply the Origins black charcoal mask, any whiteheads naturally comes out, any sports that are underneath the surface of my skin seems to vanish, This definitely has a massive impact on my face routine. Same again I tend to use this twice a week, but days that my face causes troubles I tend to use it once a week. Our skin tends to have dirt, debris on our skins generally but more so under our skin. We live in a climate where our area is very polluted which has an effect on our face. This unclogs the pores and instead of a cloudy looking skin, it makes it free and clear of dirt. The ingredients also help our skin, as the charcoal acts like a magnet to draw out dirt or "cloggers out of the pores" It has white china clay which absorbs environmental pollutants. And lecithin and this helps dissolve the impurities.
The way I use this is by getting a flannel and running it under very hot water, so the towel is moist and then placing this on my face, to open up the pores, then apply the mask. I wait for it to dry then I rinse my face.
Superdrugs Tea tree skin care facial wash
These two products below I use almost every single day. After coming home as a night routine, I put some on my palm after taking my make-up off and massage this on my face. I really like the lemon facial wash because I feel it gives me a fresher look. The tea tree facial wash makes me feel my skin look clearer and my face appear whiter if that makes sense. This product is a must for me. It's really affordable and sometimes they have really good deals in Superdrugs they do two for one offers! A must, must, must purchase for me. This product has antibacterial properties, so I feel as if even after a thorough clean of getting rid of my makeup with makeup wipes and Garnier micellular cleansers etc, this makes me feel as if it gives a final good wash. It makes me feel as if it gives a healthier clearer looking complexion, by getting rid of impurities and excess oil. This two products always makes me feel super refreshed.
Nivea Gentle Exfoliating Scrub
This is one of my most recent purchase, I have been using it for about 3-4 months I will say. I really like this product as not only are the beads really fine, but the solution, it's almost like a rich moisturiser, so it makes my skin feel prepped. Also not only is it an exfoliating face scrub, but it is really moisturising which is quite surprising and actually a contrast as you assume exfoliating to be a rough face exercise but the solution is very rich. It's almost like your putting on a silicon based primer. I tend to use this once or twice a week. It's quite great at removing dead skin, but also maintaining the moisture of my skin. It has Vitamin E which is great for my face as it's an antioxidant so removes free radicals, that could damage the cell structure.
Neutrogena Spot-stress Control Daily Scrub
I don't really use this very often, so it shouldn't really be in my best top 7 facial products because at the beginning this product uses to break me out. It may not have been this product, it could be a number of factors example not drinking enough, sleeping, exhaustion and many other things. But now for the past month or so I use it like once or twice a week, it isn't that bad, but I will keep you guys updated!
