Basic facial using Sukin Blemish Control Kit.
Started using this because my Vichy cleansing product changed, now my Bioderma cleanser has run out and am waiting for new product, I tend not to use this type of product on my neck as it can dry it out, then I have to get Aveeno to add moisture back. I used to use Vichy Cleanser on my neck and dry areas.

Review
Liked the Eucalyptus fragrance, my skin is a bit dry, so worried if this will dry the dry skin too much.

Conclusion
Even though the Sukin blemish kit is to dry out blemishes, it hasn’t actually dried my skin out.
Out of interest of using Euculyptus as a blemish cure I discovered this info:
EucalyptusKnown for its strong, refreshing scent, eucalyptus oil also has anti-inflammatory properties. This makes it ideal to use on inflamed, painful acne (as long as you dilute it with a carrier oil first). It might be particularly good for dry skin.
This is my problem, sensitive skin with dry areas but an oily nose.
This product is worth perservering with, will let you know how I do.
I’m actually a fan of these new age type beauty products, but I do also use chemical products.
When you have sensitive skin these new age type products often hold the answers.
Eye cream instead of under eye patches
The boots eye cream is quite good as it doesn’t seep up into your eyes, a few beauty bloggers have been commenting on such eye cream products.
(Will still use the patches if I can get them as I use them with the new face sheet masks, that don’t fit my face shape anymore; I have to alter them to fit now as they are a different shape than they used to be for some reason?)
Really glad I found this tip from a tutorial, I suppose you don’t, ‘need’ face sheet masks either really lol!!!
You do need facials though, so this has given me a way to go forward.
The dragons blood product is quite different and exciting, also it contains collagen
What does dragon blood do to skin?
It helps to plump and rehydrate skin, which in turn will reduce fine lines by increasing hydration in the skin. The soothing properties make it great for calming sensitised or irritated skin, and it can also help minimise breakouts thanks to its antimicrobial properties.
This is possibly great to rehydrate the skin after drying blemish treatments, I also have areas that could do with re plumping and it also helps minimise breakouts.
I think I’ve found an alternative blemish reducing formula for dry senistive blemish prone skin, to replace sheet masks until they come back.
Will let you know how I do.
Have to say these new age products have helped my skin problems loads since I discovered them, may be worth looking into if you have a different type skin to mine.
Hope you enjoyed this facial.
