Bad Skin Made Better

Oh Dear!!!

A very quick one this morning but I had to write about this! Basically I've had really rubbish skin this week. I think it's mainly down to going out on Saturday night and drinking more than is reasonable for a woman in her 30's (I was also dressed up as a kitten but that's for another day!) and then having a severe lack of sleep all this week.

Anyway, I was starting to despair so gave myself a mini facial last night. The effects have been amazing (if I do say so myself) and I've got a real glow to my skin this morning so I thought I'd share what I used with you!

1. I started off by massaging Sarah Chapman Ultimate Cleanse into my skin. I've only just discovered Sarah's products and they are beautiful. The cleanser contains a long list of fantastic ingredients including Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Dermaxyl Oligopeptide, White Lily, Coenzyme Q10, Borage Oil, Baobab Oil, Melon Oil, Rosehip, Jojoba Oil, Abyssinian Oil and Meadowfarm Seed Oil and it can also be used as a face mask.

If you look at Sarah's website, there are lots of tips for each of her products including the most effective method of application and how to get the best out of them. If you don't know Sarah, she is one of the UK's best facialists and is best known for her anti-ageing techniques.

2. After removing the Cleanser with a hot cloth, I decided to do a double cleanse and used my beloved Bioderma. I massaged it onto my face with a cotton-wool pad.

3. I then turned to my favourite face-mask which is Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel. I left it on for 10 minutes and removed it with a hot cloth.

4. I finished off my mini emergency facial with a layer of Sarah Chapman Age-Repair Serum and lashings of Elemis Pro-Collagen Oxygenating Night Cream.

I've got some exciting reviews coming up next week, including:

-The Clarins Christmas Range
- A fantastic NARS product
- A surprisingly good mascara
- Bits from the Bobbi Brown Festive Range xx
