Review: Purex face wipes.

I have always struggled with bad skin since a very young age. I have tried various products all ranging in price and type and nothing was working. The other day I was in a local shop when I picked up a pack of 3 wipes for my face as I needed some more, I didn't look at the brand as I was in hurry and just paid for them. Later that night I used one of the wipes for the first time and it has revolutionised my face and my skin has never felt better. So here is why Purex wipes are my go to skin care product and why they should also be yours. 
My skin has been dry, flakey and spotty since I can remember. When I was teenager I hated my skin and wanted to hide all the time. As the years went by I tried several products and nothing worked. I was starting to think there would never be an end to my bad skin. Fast forward to year and a bit ago when I was pregnant with Alice and my skin had never looked worse. It was red, itchy and I had never seen so many spots. I felt down and miserable about my horrible skin and tried to cover it up with make up. At the time I worked as a receptionist and I was extremely self conscious about my face and some days didn't even want to leave the house. Time went on and I went on to have my beautiful baby girl, I was hopeful that after I had her my skin would start to die down, but alas no luck, it was getting worse if anything. By this point it was really getting me down. I had plans to return to my YouTube channel but couldn't even pick a camera due to being so embarrassed at the state of my skin. I search the Internet far and wide for skin care products, I spent many days reading the reviews but they were all so mixed. I decided that I couldn't waste anymore money on products that weren't going to work. I accepted the fact that this was going to be the way it was for now and that maybe one day my face would clear up but for now I had to live with it. I thought the best way to deal with my bad skin was to just wear make up everyday to hide it. At the end of everyday I would sit down and remove my make up with normal face wipes and my skin would always be red, patchy and sore. There just seemed to be no winning no matter what I did. My face wipes that I was originally using had finally ran out (even though I hardly ever used them as they were so harsh on skin I mainly used a baby wipe to remove my make up). A few days from now and we were out at a local shop, we didn't have much time so I quickly scoured the shop and came across a pack of 3 wipes, without thinking I just picked up the wipes and paid for them and left. When I arrived home I got out the wipes and used one of them for the first time and it has changed my life. When I first got it out the packet I wasn't hopeful as I had used so many different wipes in the past and very few left my skin feeling good after, however I was pleasantly surprised. Purex have made wipes that make your skin feel refreshed and moisturised all in one. There are three different types of wipes: 

    1. Exfoliating facial wipes- Double action cleansing, exfoliates and cleans, dermatologically tested, toning and gently hydrating and refreshed and radiant. 
    2. Deep cleanse facial wipes- Against blemishes, deep cleaning, removes make up, purifying agents unclogs pores and protection against black heads. 
    3. 3 in 1 facial wipes- Make up remover, cleansing and toning, removes unwanted oils, PH balanced and dermatologically tested.    
After one week of using the wipes I can already see a difference in my skin, it is clearer and brighter than it has ever been. A quote from Purex themselves "Each Purex Visage wipe is specially formulated for all skin types and leaves your skin feeling clean and refreshed" and it does exactly that. Since I have been using these wipes I have left the house make up free on several occasions as I no longer feel I have to hide my skin. I will be continuing to use these wipes until they run out and I will definitely purchase them again.  So if you are struggling with bad skin or you are looking for a product to remove your make up then I highly recommenced that you try these wipes from Purex, I am so glad I found them and they are definitely one of my favourite skin care products that I own! Thanks for reading the post, speak to you all soon!

Review: L'Oréal Dream Lengths Shampoo and Conditioner.

For the past 6 months I have been trialling out a new shampoo and conditioner from L'Oréal called "L'Oréal Dream Lengths Shampoo and Conditioner" and it has revolutionised my life and here is why: 





















When I found out I was pregnant Alice I immediately started to see a change in my hair, it had become brittle and very thin. I was really upset by this but thought to myself it will get better once she is here. A few months after Alice was born and there was little to no improvement and it started to bring me down. My hair was falling out left right and centre. I was at my wits end and didn't know what else to do, I tried a wide selection of  hair care products all ranging in price and nothing seemed to work. After around 6 months I decided to just give up and come to the realisation that is my hair now. I always wore my hair up as I was ashamed of how bad it was getting, the few times I did wear it down I had no confidence. One day I was at a local baby group with Alice and I was speaking to another mum about my situation with my hair and she said she also suffered with hair loss when she had her baby and told me that she used L'Oréal Dream Lengths Shampoo and Conditioner and its restored her hair completely. I was in complete and utter shock at just how healthy and shiny her hair looked and all from a shampoo and conditioner that you can buy in most hight street shops. Instantly I went online and Googled the shampoo and conditioner and read 100's of amazing reviews all from lots of other women who swear by the shampoo and conditioner so I went out to my local SuperDrug and purchased it at such an amazing value of £2.99 each. I couldn't believe such an amazing product was such a low price. That night I went home and washed my hair with it and I will never forget that night when I dried my hair after washing it and I looked in the mirror and I could instantly already see a difference, my hair was shinier than ever and felt so soft. From that moment onwards I knew that this was definitely the product for me. A few months had now passed and I was still using the shampoo and conditioner which surprised me as it has lasted me so long but with the L'Oréal Dream Lengths a little goes a long way. I couldn't get enough of this stuff I was literally telling everyone I know just how great it is and how its changed my life. So what makes it so great you ask? "Our creamy, caring shampoo is enriched with a cocktail of Keratin, Vitamins and Caster Oil. The formula cleanses and helps to reinforce the hair."A statement from L'Oréal themselves. Fast forward to this present day, a whole 6 months later from when I started to use the product and my hair has never felt better, it is longer, healthier and stronger than ever. I cannot recommend L'Oréal Dream Lengths enough. I have definitely found the hair care product for me and who knows it could just be the product for you. So if you are struggling with hair loss, brittle and breaking hair and you need something to bring it back to life then why not try it for yourself, you wont regret it! Thanks for reading, speak soon!
