I have never been one to write about anything beauty or skincare related so the start of a brand new year and a brand new product launch may just be the perfect excuse.
✽
As I mentioned I am not one for a healthy and regular skin care routine but I do pretty much know what my skin likes and dislikes. 2017 especially has been the year I've gotten to grips with the kind of products that work in harmony with my skin, rather than irritating it I have stuck to what i know without venturing into new skincare hypes. I am very lucky to of never suffered with spots or acne or a sallow completion in the winter months just dry patches which are maintainable especially during this time of year.
One of the things I love most about this collection is the price. For me, I feel that if its on your face for only a few minutes each morning why spend a fortune? Personally I focus on budget skincare, however, a time I would consider spending more is for a vegan/ cruelty free product. Luckily this collection is both!
Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Foaming Face Wash (£3.50) - First of all this little beauty is the number 1 face wash sold in Boots at the moment! The fresh scent makes it perfect for early mornings as I find it really helps wake me up - a very hard job as I am not a morning person in the slightest. This whole range definitely have a unisex scent to them that’s really refreshing! I also found that this works amazingly to wash your make up brushes.
Charcoal Facial Scrub (£4.69) - At first use the black formula may be a little off putting but bear with because this is an amazing scrub. Not much to say apart from it does exactly what it says it should! This is a light enough scrub for daily use if that's what you're after but still manages to leave my skin feeling refreshed.
Charcoal Face Mask (£3.89) - Mud masks have been extremely hyped up in the beauty world and also pretty darn expensive for the little pot you receive. Having said that, they really do make a difference to my skin so this little beauty is the best of both worlds. Simply pop it on and leave for about 15 minutes and then rinse off, I use this after the facial scrub and my skin has never felt so soft and clean!
Charcoal Pore Strips (£5.99) I'm one of those weird people who love looking at the pores on my nose but constantly repulsed and regretting it. That being said I've always been a little shy of pore strips as ones I've used previously have been a little painful to remove and pointless but this the two step application means that you have a moisturising, repairing mask that helps soothe the skin afterwards and close the pores - perfect.
Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Spot Wand (£3.40) I've heard very good things about this product with its inventive double ended wand which offers a day and night treatment. Apply to angry spots and they'll be gone by morning!
Shine Control Moisturiser (4.19) - This probably my favourite from the range, the light and serum-like formula is perfect especially for dry skin as I found the combination of other products in this range had left my skin a little dry, especially in my T zone. I think the lotion would definitely be too light as a winter moisturiser, but for summer it’s beyond perfect. The light consistency allows this product to give a flawless base to apply make up onto as the light layer is perfect for the morning.
Charcoal Facial Wash (£3.17) - Like the scrub this also took me by surprise at the colour when i first saw it come out the tube, but what was i really expecting from a Charcoal collection?!! This product works so well after the scrub to smooth over any areas that have been affected leaving you with super soft and clear skin.
Tea Tree Toner (3.99) - I've been dedicated to my Body Shop toner for years but this product has given it a run for its money (literally).
