Eucerin Even Brighter Day Cream and Pigment Spot Corrector Review

I used both these products until they were empty by the way, and I can honestly say, they made a difference... not a big one, but overall my skin tone does look more even.

The day cream is a lovely light texture but still feels nourishing to the skin, it doesn't leave any residue so it's ideal for morning use. The pen is best to use at night - just dot on to areas that have high areas of pigmentation. 

I had a few dark dots on my cheek from picking spots (sorry) and used the corrector pen on those, and they have faded, but they do tend to fade over time anyway - but I'd hasten to say this speeded up the process slightly.

I think the main thing when battling pigment spots is to massage your face and keep it really well hydrated, this ensures they're a good flow of oxygen to your skin to help it regenerate... oh, and don't pick your spots!

Would I buy again? Yes, but don't expect miracles. 

#Review Nip + Fab Fitness

These products are amazing for a post gym scrub-down. Now, not to be too graphic, but I sweat when I work out… profusely might be too strong a word but, you know. I mention that only because my gym partner doesn't seem to perspire at all - weird!
Anyhoo although working out is great for my muscle tone I find my skin suffers from blocked pores and a bit of sweat-induced 'Bacne'. I'm sure this is a common problem so I don't mind sharing.
Nip + Fab products are amazing for combating this as they contain Glycolic acid which literally melts away sebum and sweat without being too harsh. They leave you feeling squeaky clean after a workout and smell really fresh too.
The price point is amazing also - definitely worth a try for gym bunnies!

Acne & Me...

 Me, today. Acne free. I actually have NO pictures of me with spots as I refused to have my photo taken for a year!

Until you have bad skin, you don’t realise how important having good skin is. I’ve had fat days, (really) bad hair days and countless fashion mishaps over the years but until I developed adult acne nothing really bothered me about my appearance.

The odd spot is horrible but can be dealt with, but having spots and boils on my face every day knocked my confidence like nothing else. To make matters worse I found out (through having the allergic reaction of allergic reactions) that I am allergic to the active ingredient in all spot creams. Typical.

Something had to be done, and I urge anyone who suffers with bad skin not to beat yourself up about it but to go and see your GP as soon as possible. I had tried cutting out sugar, dairy, exercising more, exercising less but nothing helped – when I told my GP about this he busted a common myth. Acne has little or no relation to your diet; it’s often to do with bacterial or hormonal imbalances that can only be treated with medicines.

I was put on a course of antibiotics for a few months which, thankfully, cleared up my skin a treat! Sadly, because of my dark skin I was left with scarring which can be as bad as the spots themselves so my doctor recommended having a Salicylic peel or Microdermabrasion.

I went to a clinic called Sk;n where they offer lots of different Acne treatments. After a really thorough consultation I was recommended laser treatment for acne, which scared me at first but the process is really gentle on skin; and as it uses no chemicals, it’s brilliant for people with sensitive skin or allergies (like me). After a couple of treatments my scarring was almost invisible; I would definitely recommend seeing a skin specialist and not suffering alone – people need to see their skin as not a cosmetic thing, but as a health factor and seek professional help for any problems.

Has anyone else suffered with Acne? What kind of treatments have you used?
