Clean & Clear blackhead clearing scrub

HELLLO, hope you're having a good week so far!









I have been using Clean & Clear blackhead clearing scrub (available at Superdrug, link HERE) for the past week and I can honestly say it's been working very well on my skin. I don't have acne or bad blackheads but I just wanted to have clean & clear skin - pardon the pun ;) - by eliminating the ones that I do have.

Like it directs, morning and night I wet my face after taking of my makeup (if I have any on) and then apply it. I usually put a little bit on my left palm and then use my right hand to apply it to my face as I get really scared that it might go in my eye so I'm cautious.

It contains Chamomile Extract which contains soothing, anti-irritant alpha bisabolol (The active ingredients in Chamomile, reduces puffiness also restores and repairs skin.) 
It also contains Jojoba oil which is a natural extracted liquid wax from the jojoba plant. This natural oil is excellent for the skin and hair. It is superior to other skin and hair oils. This mild oil is a natural moisturizer that absorbs quickly into the skin.

It doesn't dry my face out, infact it feels very moisturized and in the morning, my face is very clear.
I think when using this, you have to make sure that the other things that touch you face are clean. Towel, makeup brushes etc because there's not much point washing your face with and then adding on the bacteria again with these items.

After applying, I can feel it on working on my skin as it starts to sting, nothing too painful though. I can feel the special exfoliating micro-beads working. I leave it on, have a little sing for about 30 seconds, wash it off and then dab my face off with a towel. 
Although, it isn't over-drying, I still mosturize because my skin can get really dry. I've noticed the difference in my skin, in that it feels so much more softer!
My skin feels extremely soft before I go to bed and and when I wake up in the morning.

It smells fresh like kiwi or cucumbers, I'd say!

I want to try out more skin products for clearer skin so if you have any suggestions, lemme know!
Thanks for reading.

Re-Gen Cream.

I have blemishes/pimples (unfortunately I'm not a fine girl no pimples) on my face and I've been looking for something that's inexpensive but will still do the job and I think I've found it! I found out about Re-Gen Cream through a youtube channel and I absolutely love it! I bought it at Home Bargains for £3.99!


It does a lot of different things but I'm using it to help protect against the drying effect of wind and water & moisturise my skin, to reduce the appearance of blemishes and pigmentation marks and to make my skin soft and supple!

It come in a tub containing 125ml , it might not seem like a lot but honestly, you don't need to put too much on the face anyway  so I reckon it'll last about 4 - 6 months.

I use it in the morning and evening after a bath/shower so that my skin can absorb it better and before applying my foundation. When putting it on, I can feel it working as it tingles and stings but I don't mind besides my skin does feel very soft after applying it, if I do say so myself ;)I find myself just stroking my face like a weirdo as it's so so smooth. 
I love that it's cheap and also easy to carry around when travelling for example. If When you buy it, let me know how you found it. :)

Thanks for reading!
