Best Of 2010. Part 3 - Skincare:

So I already posted my favourite makeup and body care products of 2010 so here's the last (probably!) installment - skincare! I've since discovered some real gems which will soon be blogged about, but these were the most used of this past year, so here goes :)


Cleanser: Cellnique Gentle Foaming Cleanser. I was sent this for consideration and fell in love. I have since bought myself a back up since I liked it that much! It makes my skin squeaky clean but nourished, smooth and soft at the same time. Some cleansers can dry out my sensitive skin and makes my face feel tight but this one is perfect. Will definately continue to use in 2011 too :)

Toner: Witch Hazel. This changed my skin completely. I started to use it for it's refreshing purposes only; it's great to refresh tired skin in the summer, especially if you store it in your refridgerator. But I soon discovered it was clearing up my skin completely, making it totally smooth and supple. The smell is a little strange but you get used to it, I recommend picking up a bottle of this - it's cheap! Around £2/3 - and trying it for yourselves!

Moisturiser: Dermalogicas Ultracalming Serum Concentrate. This is probably my star product of 2010! Dermalogica are my favourite skincare brand and this is likely to be my favourite from them, it moisturises without being heavy on my skin and has a light, lotion like texture so sits great under your foundation. This calms any red patches or irritation in my skin like a dream and moisturises SO well. A+!

Face Mask: Aspirin Mask! I am yet to find a mask that smooths, cleans and heals blemishes like the aspirin mask and I continued to use it throughout '10 as I have done for years. I use this once a month or so, either alone or mixed into a moisturising mask.

Exfoliator: Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant and S&G Massage Mitt. Daily Microfoliant is a rice based powder product which is added to water to create an exfoliating paste. It's gentle on my sensitive skin and really makes your skin feel fresh and new. I also love using the massage mitt with my regular cleansers to clean a little deeper ;) Both used and repurchased this year.

Makeup Remover: Boots Cleanse And Care. This is a duo phase makeup remover and recently I've heard they're bad for your eyes in the long run - anyone care to elaborate? But regardless this was used and loved all this year as it takes off even heavy eyemakeup SO easily.
For quick makeup removal I started to love Johnsons 3 in 1 wipes, as they dont leave my skin tight or sticky. Great if you're in a rush!


I was going to stop here, but may post one more! My favourite people, places and items etc of 2010 coming soon I think :)
