The Body Shop Vitamin C Energising Face Mist

Comes in a opaque spray bottle.
An energising face spritz.






 I bought this product not knowing what it did or how good it was. It sat in my shelf for two months before I found it and tested it out. I bought mine in a body shop outlet in York. The price I paid for it was £10. For £10 you get 100ml of product. It comes in a handy spray bottle form which makes it easy to spray onto my face.


 I spray the product onto my face after I apply toner and before I apply my moisturiser. After using this consistently in my skin care routine in the morning it has helped lighten my scars, brightened my skin and made it appear whiter.

Pros: 
 - It faded my acne scars.
 - It whitened and brightened my skin.
 - The spray bottle makes it easy to apply directly onto the skin.
 
 Cons:
 - It has a scent of citrus.
 
 What this product claims to do:
 - Whiten skin.
 - Energise skin.
 
 Best for:
 Every skin type.
  
 Not good for:
 People that are sensitive to Vitamin C products.
 
 Would I repurchase?
 Yes! It helped to lighten my scars and brighten my skin.

Acne Face Mapping:What your body is trying to tell you.

Breaking out in certain parts of your face could be your body's way of telling you that something is wrong with your body inside so it is important to take care of your body because that can effect the way your skin acts. The face is divided into 8 different regions. The forehead, the temples, between the brows, on the nose, left cheek, right cheek, lip area, chin and jaw.
 
 Breaking out in the forehead region:
 - Sleep before 10pm to let your liver rest.
 - Drink plenty of water.
 - Sleep in a regular schedule.
 - Eat healthy food.
 - Wash your hair thoroughly because oil from the hair cam transfer onto the face and cause breakouts.
 - Wash your hats regularly or you might get the leftover oil and makeup will rub on the forehead and cause breakouts in that area.
 
 Breaking out in the temples:
 - Reduce the amount of fat in your diet.
 - Eat less processed food, junk food and fast food.

 Breaking out between the brows:
 - Avoid being stressed.
 - Avoid smoking.
 - Avoid drinking alcohol.

 Breaking out on the nose:
 - Eat less spices and garlic.
 - Get more fresh air.
 - Go for walks everyday.
 - Get more fresh air.
 - Make sure you are getting enough vitamin B.
 
 Breaking out on the left cheek:
 - Maintain a normal daily routine.
 - Try to keep in a positive mood throughout the day.
 - Don't let your body overheat.
 - Try to relax.
 -Practice proper hygiene
 
 Breaking out on the right cheek:
 - Avoid fast food and junk food
 - Avoid mango, taro root, wine, and seafood or other foods you may be sensitive/allergic to.
 - Eat less sugar.
 - Get more fresh air
 
 Breaking out in the lip area:
 - Eat more fibre.
 - Include more fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet.
 - Eat less spicy and fried foods.
 - Change your toothpaste.
 
 Breaking out on the chin and jaw:
 - Reduce the habit of eating before bed. (Eating before bed will also make you gain weight faster.)
 - Eat more fresh fruit and vegetables.
 - Get more rest.
 - Sleep early and wake up early.
 - Practice a proper hygiene.
 
 I usually break out on my right cheek because I rest my head in my hand whilst studying. I also change my pillowcase more often to reduce the oil transfer from my hair to my face.

Watsons deep cleansing nose pore strips.

There are a lot of pore strips on the market and they are common to find in drugstores and are affordable. I decided to try this pore strip because I could see blackheads appearing around my nose. I don't have a lot of blackheads or whiteheads but I used this because one of the blackheads turned into a pimple. I don't like this pore strip. It left my skin red and sore and didn't pull any blackheads out. I will not be repurchasing this product but I will be looking out for other pore stops.

Pros:
It is cheap.

Cons:
It barely took out any blackheads.

What this product claims to do:
It claims to take put blackheads and whiteheads.

Best for:
No one.

Not good for:
Everyone.

Would I repurchase?
No. It left my skin red and painful and didn't pull out any blackheads or whiteheads.

Quality: 0/10
Price: 10/10
Application: 2/10
