How to get glowing bridal skin -at home!
I’ve cracked it. I really, really have. So here I was, wasting my time on lotions and potions, drinking copious amounts of water (bleugh!) and squeezing my face until it bled (well that might be an exaggeration, but at least until it was fairly sore). I have blackheads. Lots of them. They took up lodgings about a year ago on my nose and my chin, and sat there, laughing at me as I tried in vein to evict them with nose strips, facials, sandpaper and even, I’m ashamed to say, my own, horrible fingernails.
I didn’t know what to do.
Who to turn to.
Where to go.
And then, one day I had a bit too much time on my hands (Pamper Sunday I called it), I decided have a hot shower to open my pores and cracked out my new Clarins Gentle Refiner to give it a whirl. This is my fave of the three (the set also includes a gentle exfoliant and gentle peeling cream) cause I just love when I can feel exfoliators working. Trick with this one is not to rub, rather just massage it lightly into your skin. The Gentle Refiner is a rich cream formulated with two types of perfectly spherical microbeads, one exfoliating, the other refining. It lifts off all impurities and dead cells and makes your skin super sparkly and smooth.
Then I took my Boots Blackhead Remover and the Magnifying Mirror I stole from my mom during the week and just went for it. Honest to God I was stunned at what came out of my skin when I pressed the remover to it, stunned and weirdly satisfied.
After about an hour of (careful) prodding and shouting ‘LOOK AT THIS’ at himself. I finished my mini facial off with my current moisturiser obsession; Origins A Perfect World. It smells amazing and is a fab anti-oxidant with White Tea (great for detoxing the skin).
And I’m gorge! Seriously my pores look the best ever (and I’ve had my fair share of facials) and my skin feels a lot smoother than it has done. Overall I’d give my discovery a 10/10!
