Cleansers I Love And Recommend

Hello Folks and welcome back to my blog tonight I am going to talk to you about cleansers I love.

The first cleanser that I am loving is the elemis pro radiance cream cleanser.

This is my third bottle of this cleanser there is a previous post on the blog on my elemis skin care products and have also spoken about them in on my youtube channel. 

The elemis cleanser you apply to dry skin and lightly massage into the skin till has warmed up and loosened, the formulate doesn't actually get warm it just says on the bottle to let it warm, leave for a minute to dissolve then remove with a damp cloth, you get a elemis mitt with the product but you can use a face cloth.

I really love it as its all natural products such as ylang ylang a moringa seed, acai fruits, sweet Brazilian orange plus lavender and patchouli. I cannot stress enough how amazing this product smells it's so therapeutic.

You get 150ml for around £27.00 so this is I would say mid price range.

I was so excited to finally purchase this item and am over the moon that I did purchase it.

Its the pixi in collaboration with the lovely skin expert and queen that is Caroline Hirons with the double cleanse.

Oh, my god, this is the holy grail if you haven't got this I suggest you go out and buy it forthwith.

You get 2 x 50ml 

Step one is the solid cleansing oil- this is to remove makeup and sunscreen you take a pea size amount and rub it all over your face even onto your eyes to get all that eye makeup and mascara off and can I just say it's totally amazing and your not left with any residue of eye makeup or mascara.

step 2 is the cleansing cream- this cleanses the skin in preparation for the next steps within your skin care routine, again using a pea-sized amount of the cream rub between your fingers and pop all over your face then get yourself a wash cloth and remove the cleanser and you have nice smooth and cleaned skin.

I believe this retails for £ 24.00 pounds on the pixi website and on cult beauty, i picked mine up from e-bay for half of this price.

This is the only pixi product I have ever tried or owned and I can't definitely say I will repurchase this product, I only use this cleanser when I have to make upon wich isn't every day so it is going to last me a long time.

This isn't a cleanser but a cleansing wash, I have tried many a cleansing wash or facial wash and they have been ok, then I got this baby in a sample set and instantly fell in love with it.

It's the elemis ( not surprise there then ha) sensitive cleansing wash.

Now my skin is slightly sensitive, normal combination.

You get 200ml for around £22 which is fantastic, I use this every night in the shower after using the elemis pro radiance cream cleanser. 

You massage into the damp skin I leave for few minutes then wash it off, I leave my skin feeling very refreshed with the lovely ingredients.

It contains extracts of thyme, german chamomile, lady's mantle, which is used for antibacterial properties and are infused with unique milk protein base for a calming experience, I highly suggest this it works so well and if you like the scent then it's very relaxing.

And last but by no means least there is this new discovery which is the Vichy one step cleanser for sensitive skin.

I picked this as part of my Latest in Beauty Box. 

this is a 30ml sample and it says on it.

1. cleansing milk

2. toner

3. eyes make up remover.

paraben free.

It's a Vichy thermal spa water.

You apply this straight onto a cotton pad and apply to the face in circular motions and leave it to dry in no need to remove at all, so this is perfect for if you are in a hurry and need to get going but still want to make sure that you have included this step within your skin care routine.

It has a slight scent to it but not overpowering and it has been fine for my skin considering it's my first attempt at using this product and brand and I have no complaint and will even consider buying the full-size product in the near future.

well, that's all from me let me know in the comments below cleanser you use and recommend I would be interested to know and hope you have a fantastic Friday night whatever you are doing.

Things That Help My Anxiety

Evening folks tonight I thought I would share some ideas on what  helps my anxiety.

1. A GOOD CRY, If am having a particularly bad episode it can feel like my my head is so tense and going to exploded, a lot of people feel like you have to hide being upset but I don't care anymore I know from experience that if I let it all out in a good cry then there is so much release.

2. If the weather is nice and I know its not always the case in UK go somewhere that has water and bit of sand and sit with either my thoughts and reflect on things and listen to the water, or again find a quiet stop and listen to some music this is really relaxing just getting fresh air can clear that cloud of anxiety passing over.

3. This might seem odd to people but looking at cloud relaxes me so much I don't know what it is about them but just adore them and on a day where there are loads of them I like to sit and stare at them and go into a little daze.

4. Reading get lost in a good book its fantastic escapism and not only that but reading is just the best, when you find books that really grip you there is nothing better.

5. write down what you have achieved in the specific moment when your having a moment and then look and think this isn't as bad as other episodes and look at what .is triggering this episode, identify it and then but it to bed as such.

6. Laughing, I know you prob thinking when your feeling anxious how on earth will you be wanting to laugh but if you can get through the fog and heavy head or panic which ever the feelings it is that your having, then look at some funny videos on you tube or on your phone from friends and laugh it really will pick you up.

7. TALK,  particularly if your having a really bad episode then phone that good friend or partner just someone you can trust and know will listen and speak to them or ask them to distract you from yourself. I know this can be hard as you don't want to burden people and they have there own stuff going on, but if they love and care about you they will take the time, some folk also don't like to open up, i,m a very open person so i find it better to open up or it makes me feel much worse.

8. Go onto a anxiety Facebook page or other anxiety social media  and talk to like minded people who know just what your going through, believe me your not ALONE!!!.

9. colouring books, I got a few off those adult colouring books and there so relaxing defiantly recommend them.

10. anxiety pod casts cant help also there are a good few out there. 

The anxiety coaches 

Not another anxiety show

Anxiety slayer

The anxiety guru show 

there are loads.

Well I hope that this will be interesting to you guys and I would love to see comments on what helps you to deal with your anxiety.

So please leave comments down below and follow me and come back for more posts and have a great evening.

And remember, if you cant love yourself how the hell are you going to love anyone else xxxx
