Describe your skincare routine in 5 words
Gentle Cleansing, Active Ingredients, Nourishing, Soothing, Calming.
What’s your skin type?
A mixture I would say; Sensitive/Combination/Acne Prone (unfortunately)
What’s your favourite skincare product?
Ok, so this may come as a surprise (If you haven’t read my ‘bio’ already) Sudocrem! Been using it for years, it’s my hero! I’m surprised they haven’t brought out a skincare range.
Top Blemish Zapper?
Again, Sudocrem! (Honestly I’m mad about it!) or sometimes I will add a small amount of water to a zinc tablet until it turns into a paste-like texture, then I would apply it to the problem area and leave it on for 10-20 minutes, this really does the trick at reducing the redness and the blemish itself.
Face wipes yay or nay?
NO! NO! NO! They are FULL of harsh ingredients and contain a large amount of alcohol, I wouldn’t even recommend baby wipes!! If you want your face to become a fully ripened tomato then go ahead!!
Toner yay or nay?
I would have to say nay, they really don’t do anything for my skin apart from leaving it dry, sore and irritated. I would much prefer to use a spray/spritzer after cleansing to bring back that moisture loss and pH balance from cleansing. But, then again they don’t do a lot for the skin.
High end skincare?
Definitely! But there have been some high street skin care which has made me think twice about buying high end skincare. Créme De La Mer has been the most effective whilst showing a noticeable difference to my skin!
What’s the most unusual skincare product you’ve tried?
Well actually I’m reviewing that very product! I will give you a hint, ‘Aura-Suma’.
Tell us your top skincare tip
Indulge yourself to a face mask once or twice a week, depending on what your concern is, always go for something with ‘active ingredients’! If you suffer from acne on a day-to-day basis like myself, why not consider taking a zinc supplement once a day – studies show the a decrease in zinc CAN cause acne!

With you on the sudocrem! Amazing stuff!!!
Hi Lisa, totally! I sometimes use it as my night time moisturiser.
Agree about face wipes, horrible things
