Anyone’s skin have a meltdown after Christmas? From all of the over indulging it’s safe to say my skin suffered. Alongside getting back on track with eating better and drinking more water, these skincare picks have saved and restored my skin from the devastation caused by too much prosecco and chocolate…
I’ll start with my current mask of choice, the Super Facialist by Una Brennan Salicylic Acid Anti Blemish Mask £9.99 – an absolute godsend. This mask really does help to clear my skin and prevent blemishes. Probably one to stir clear off if you have sensitive skin as it does have a slight stinging sensation at first, which I’m guessing is the Salicylic acid. My skin doesn’t feel too tight or dehydrated after using this like some clay masks making it perfect for use all year round.
When it comes to targeted blemish treatments La Roche Posay has been my go to brand for years. I find the original Effaclar DUO to be quite intense and dry out the skin too much, whereas the Effaclar K £14 does exactly the same job without leaving too much damage. This manages to reduce redness overnight and stop any other blemishes appearing in the surrounding area – a must have if like me you are prone to the odd breakout.
In terms of a serum it has to be the Nip and Fab Gylcolic Fix Serum £15. As the name suggests this contains Gylcolic acid and acts as a exfoliator, but it only contains 4% so isn’t too harsh on the skin. After using this continually I do notice that the fine lines on my forehead aren’t as visible and my complexsion looks much clearer. This is a really nice serum to use if you want to introduce gylcolic acids into your skincare routine, it’s the first one I tried and still a firm favourite!
Lastly a product with holy grail status for me, the Philosophy Renewed Hope in a Jar moisturiser £35.50. Usually this doesn’t get a look in during the colder months because I need something more hydrating, but when my skin isn’t behaving I know that switching back to this will do the trick. It is a gel moisturiser so it feels lovely and cooling on the skin, and more importantly it keeps my skin clear and helps with any blemish scaring I may have. A fab product if you have that typical “teenage skin” even though you’re in your 20’s – it manages to keep things clear without being too stripping.
I try and combine these products with a hydrating toner and cleanser and it seems to work well for me. What products do you reach for when your skin is misbehaving?

My skin has been awful since the holidays! I can't wait to try out some of your recommendations :)xo, Lizhttp://lipstickandconfetti.com
Aw please let me know if you do 🙂
I tend to use the Liz Earle range as I hardly break out with that unless my diet has had a lot of grease in it. Never tried these products though!Isobel xNew post: http://fashionistachic14.blogspot.co.uk/2017/01/fashion-advice-what-i-would-tell-my.html?m=1Insta: https://www.instagram.com/isobelceline/Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/isobelcelineNew Video: https://youtu.be/RqefMiIyfswBloglovin : https://www.bloglovin.com/blogs/fashionista-chic-12984939
Yeah I used to swear by Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish, I trust all of these brands when it comes to blemish treatments x
Ugh my skin is awful at the moment – I really need to try that Nip and Fab range! I always use Clinique and it seems to do the trick 🙂 Think it's just all of the crap I ate over Christmas coming out on my chin haha! xxJessie | allthingsbeautiful-x
Yeah my chin has took the hit mainly, so annoying! Ahh I've actually never tried any skincare from Clinique, want to try the take the day off balm from them 🙂 x
I love the La Roche Posay brand! I found the Effaclar Duo dried out my skin too much but the new formulation of the duo plus doesn't at all! The Nip + Fab Serum sounds amazing i've been looking for an exfoliating and its hard to find ones that arent too harshRonniewww.veronicabizzarri.blogspot.co.ukxx
Oo I'll have to try that next then, thank you for letting me know! Yeah it's perfect, I want to try the Pixi Glow Tonic next x
I really need to focus more on my skincare for this year and buying the right products. I really love philosophy's products a lot. I think there are so many products out there it's hard to pinpoint the right ones. Love the products you showcased here! xoMcKenzie | maybemckenzie.com
I agree, my go to brands are Kielhs and Philosophy, everything I've tried from both of them I love! x
Some lovely recommendations Jodie – needed to read a post like this as my skin has been crazy lately! Ambar x | Her Little Loves
Thank you Ambar, glad you like them! Don't worry I'm definitely in the same boat x
Yup, my skin hates me right now! Definitely going to give some of these a go, I've tried other products from Nip + Fab, Superfacialist & La Roche Posay but haven't tested any of these yet xCharlotte / Colours & Carousels
Ahh these are my favourites! What else have you tried from the brand? I really want to get more from La Roche Posay! x

It's really good, I've tried a couple of products from the other ranges they have and it's by far my favourite 🙂
I totally agree on the Una Brennan mask – it's insane how effective it is!Jasmine xx Jasmine Talks Beauty
