Skincare Saviours

Skin Saviours Avene Triacneal Eucerin UVA UVB Aquaporin Active Origins Clear Improvement

Although I've used a scarf as a background this time round, these skincare items are saviours for me all year long not just in Autumn and Winter!

Eucerin AQUAporin Active SPF 25 UVB + UVA Protection* RRP £16.50
As a big fan of Eucerin skin and body products I was excited to give this a try when it arrived a few weeks ago! It promises to provide deep 24 hour hydration to dehydrated, sensitive skin. This is right up my street this time of year when my usually oily/combination skin starts to play up with the change in weather/heating etc. and dry patches pop up! I recently took a reaction to a face tanner I used and my skin got really dry and flaky and none of my usual moisturisers were working so I gave this a whirl and have been so happy with the results! At first, although this moisturiser has SPF I though it would be too rich for me during the day but since my skin was so dry I piled it on anyway and was surprised by how well it soaked in, soothed and smoothed my skin. I didn’t use a primer and felt it gave a good base for my makeup too! I love the fact it has both UVA and UVB protection and will definitely be taking this on a short trip away next month (thank God for hold luggage)! There is a whole scientific explanation as to how this hydrates involving the skins aquaporin’s which you can read about here. The Eucerin range can be found at Boots, Look Fantastic, Escentual, Feel Unique and some independent pharmacies!

I got this in a set last Christmas and its one of the first Origins products I've tried and loved. The activated charcoal in it is meant to act like a magnet to draw out anything clogging your pores like dirt and pollution through daily life. I like to use this about once a week for a real deep clean and my skin always feels amazing afterwards! It really softens it and seems to draw out any impurities by drying up spots and blackheads! Plus I love how quickly it dries in! I like to rinse this off just in the sink with my hands, I found when I used a facecloth it stained really badly and didn’t come out in the wash but other than its great! I’ll then follow up with a moisturiser like the Eucerin one I’ve mention above as I find it can dry my skin out a bit but it’s totally worth it!

Skincare Saviours Origins Clear Improvement Alpha H Liquid Gold Eucerin UVA UVB Aquaporin Active Avene Triacneal
Top to bottom - Avene Triacneal, Eucerin AQUAporin Active SPF 25 UVB + UVA Protection, Origins Clear Improvement
This has become my Holy Grail spot product! It’s pricey at £23 but it lasts ages! The product itself is a yellow paste that is not greasy in the slightest and helps eliminate severe imperfections. I use this over active spots at night where it helps to dry them out and also over old acne scars which I find it helps to fade. I have a funny feeling this is being discontinued as unfortunately as it’s out of stock on a lot of sites, this seems to have happened to a lot of products I love over the past few months! Avene did just bring out a new product called Triacneal Expert and their Cleanance Expert is also targeted towards spot prone skin so they would work well too!

Alpha H Liquid Gold RRP £33.50
This is one of my favourite treatments and I have gone through various bottles of it! It’s an overnight chemical exfoliator and I bloody love it! It claims to resurface the skin and help to diminish wrinkles, pigmentation and sun damage. I totally bought this because of the hype and its one I’m happy to say completely delivers on its claims! I can’t quite put my finger on it but my skin just looks better the morning after I’ve put this on. It’s clearer, more even, and plumper and my old acne pigmentation doesn’t look as pronounced. Couldn’t be without this now! Available at Beauty Bay, Cult Beauty and Look Fantastic among others!

Have you tried any of the products I've mentioned? What are your skincare saviours?

P.S. I also just got Twitter and Instagram and they are embarrassingly empty at the minute but links are below if you feel like saying hello :)

  2. I tend to stick to my no7 skincare range, but I love when a cream doubles as a primer like Eucerin!

  12. I seriously need to try the Alpha H Liquid Gold, I keep hearing so many people raving about it but I've never tried! Also, I like the Origins Clear Improvement mask - their skincare in general is just fab! Although, recently I've tried out the Sanctuary 5 minute thermal mask and truth be told, I actually prefer it to the Origins one! I'd recommend giving that one a go if you can get your hands on it, I don't think you'd be disappointed! :-)

  13. I've never tried any of these, but they sound interesting! Clinique 3 step is enough for me, with the occasional use of Clearasil's toner!xx

  16. I'm with ya on the dry skin this time of year! I usually have normal to combo skin but lately it's been incredibly dry so none of my usual moisturizers have been feeling that hydrating lately, I've always wanted to try Eucerin though so this one seems like a great place to start :)

  21. Have heard great things about the Origins Charcoal Mask so it's been on my wishlist for a while now. I just want to try and use up what I already have first but will definitely try it soon. Shame it dries the skin a bit. Might get a sample first. x

  26. chemical exfoliators are so awesome esp leave on ones like the alpha h. i haven't tried that one but have used other brand's before and they really work so well. i'm using one from Reversa (a canadian brand) right now but its really high in alcohol so its been a little too drying for me. maybe i'll order the Alpha H next.
