Washes & Cleansers Reviews
What cleanser should I use? Foaming cleansers are great for oily/combination skin as they break down and reduce excess surface oil. Cream cleansers are great for normal/dry skin as remove impurities without breaking down too much oil. Oil based cleansers are perfect for dry/very dry skin and won’t remove vital skin oils.

REN Rosa Centifolia Micellar Cleansing Water
Right, let me just get this out the way as I find it so pointlessly misleading and confusing; Rosa Centifolia is not a range designed to specifically target Rosacea, redness and other high-colour concerns. It’s a range designed to calm, soften and hydrate all skin types. Rosa Centifolia is actually the name of a Dutch…

Fine grooming is the mark of a modern gentleman. It is the way a man presents the best version of himself to the world. The wise-words of Tom Ford and what an honour. I’m lucky enough to be one of, although I’m pretty certain the I’m actually the first blogger to get my hands on…

Anthony Logistics Glycolic Facial Cleanser
This is actually Anthony Logistics’ top seller at Sephora for ten years running. It’s deliciously creamy, non-greasy, soothing, and very cleansing. Most readers and many followers on Twitter will know that I’m very pro-foaming face washe and very anti-cleansing oil/balm etc. I like the feeling of being clean, so I was naturally a little sceptical…

L’Occitane Immortelle Brightening Collection
Over the last month, I’ve switched my entire skincare regime to the L’Occitane Immortelle Brightening collection. It’s always a big risk to change your skincare regime in one, big wallop as you never quite know how your skin is going to react, therefore I always recommend to gradually change 1 product at a time, but…

Bioderma Micelle Solution Micellar Water
I’m rarely one for a beauty trends, although BB Creams are amazing, specifically the Korean Blemish Balms but Micellar Waters are all the rage and I have to admit, I’m on board. The biggest micellar water offering seems to be revolving around Bioderma, a French brand launching here in the UK this April. From my…

Individually hand-made, Kose Seikisho Soap is a mild but highly effective, medicated soap that will clear up even my worst breakout.

Clinique 3 Step Skincare System: 2 Dry Combination for Men
After a fantastic consultation at Manchester’s Selfridges, Exchange Square, I was shocked to learn that for the first time in my life, the perfect Clinique system for me is Number 2 – Dry Combination. Most of my life I’ve used Clinique’s Anti-Blemish solutions, but over the last year my skin seems to have finally vanquished…

SK-II Facial Treatment Cleansing Oil & Cellumination Mask in Lotion
For an upstanding beautiful, natural skin tone, bare your skin to Japan. As an undergraduate Japanese language student, it would be remiss of me if I didn’t at least attempt to translate their slogan and that was my best attempt (that made anywhere near sense), please correct me if I’m wrong. If you’ve not come…

Crème de la Mer The Cleansing Gel (The Original)
You’ll probably know by now that I am a pretty massive Crème de la Mer fan, for the reason being that they’re a brand who’ve successfully combined luxury with true efficacy. Until now I was using The Cleansing Foam, but not religiously and only when I was feeling particularly oily and in need of a…
