Question:
skanky skanky skin :(
A few too many late nights, central heating and a killer cold has left me all 'orrible - especially my skin!!
Loads of blackheads on my nose, skin zapping and moisture in an instant, but lots of blocked pores/little pimples due to clogging up from heavy moisturisor, grey looking, lips look burnt :cmeek: as they have dried out so bad - I am vile!!!
I need budget help - I can prob spare £20 to help get my skin on the road to recover, pls, someone recommend some products, I'm desperate!!
awww sorry to hear your skin is playing you up Ohara, i knows it boring and maybe you already do it but drinking plenty of water, the 5 a day ( or more ) fruit and veg thing multi vitamin supplements and omega oils etc will help, as for products i find Nutrogena 2 in 1 wash/mask really helps, it has BHA which gets into your pores to clean them out, its around £3.75 for a huge tube ( i have heard its like Dermalogica Derma Clay wash or something like that ) and use a muslin cloth to wash it off with, and maybe a lighter moisteriser ?? and dont for get to get your 8 hours of sleep,:)

:wave: a d**n good pamper is needed young lady ;)
great advice already given with the cleanser..have a good pore tightening mask (like clay) a clarifying lotion, easy on the moisturiser ...maybe one on dry bits only (oily skin formula) get plenty of vitamins inside you..fresh fruit/veg , maybe a supplement to tide you over this bad spell.
I have recently proved that expensive is not always the best..there are fabulous offers in Superdrug at all times and you can treat yourself with several products easily for your 20 quid ceiling. I still say it is the regularity of using the products, ie twice a day that does the magic, not necessarily the brand !
get some early nights, fresh air..yep, even a brisk walk in the cold if you're well wrapped up ,will bring peaches back to those cheeks:cmeek:
If you follow a regime for a week or two , you will soon see results, but it is inside as well as outside, so cleanse both !

bugger, I can't use any clay based products as they make my skin ultra sensitive :(
I def hear you about the 'cleanse inside and out' - it really does work, so won't do I usually do it?? Healthy eating and lots of water from now on! I'll be checking out superdrug aswell, see what goodies they have instore :cool:
Yeah, sorry to go on about healthy eating, but by the way you describe your skin it's clearly a result of overindulgence and not enough sleep! I don't think any products will help much without overhauling your lifestyle at the same time.
I posted about flaxseeds/linseeds a while ago - I know it's a faff grinding them and having them with your brekkie, but they have made such a massive difference to the state of my skin, it's unbelievable. One tiny little half tablespoon a day and glowing, clear skin! I am in love with the little buggers :faint:
Lots of water, a few really good nights' sleep, fresh food, and you'll be looking hot again in no time!
