So, i've been using Simple Skincare range for a couple of years now and about a year ago i found out about their oil balancing range, which i have found to be very good for my skin. I started using the Oil Balancing Moisturiser and also the oil balancing makeup remover wipes. Both worked very well and i was happy id found something which didnt aggravate my skin as it tends to be sensitive at times.
So anyway, i'd heard alot of good things about the Body Shop Skincare and i decided to give it a try. I purchased the Seaweed Cleanser and Toner and also the Mattifying Day Cream which is for Combination/oily skin. All the products smell really good and although i thought they were going to be great for me the toner seems to burn my skin off! The Cleanser and moisturiser seem to have a tingle, but when i use the toner and check in the mirror 5 minutes later my face is just covered in red and looks like its burning and its reeeeeeally sore!
So, im thinking maybe ill return these or give them to someone because i really can't use them. What i am happy about though is that i went to Boots today and bought some stuff from the Botanics Range as i really needed something to help my skin ( the body shop range also made me break out and each day i woke up with a new spot on my face!! Not good! )
I got the Face Sensitive Cleansing Wipes and ive used them already and they seem to be fine, no burning so thats great! I also got the Skin Brightening Toner which is for all skin types and i used that earlier too which gave me abit of a tingle, but thank goodness i didn't come out in redness again and my face didnt burn!!
After that though, as if i hadnt already used enough products on my face for one day lol, i decided to try the Aspirin face mask as i heard its meant to clear up any irritations and god, my face was bloody irritated!! :( The aspirin mask helped loads though so im really glad i found out about this and gave it a go, will definately be doing this again. Feels sooooo smooth now!
Anyways thats that little rant over and done with!! Damn u body shop!
