Normally one to be quite careful with a skincare routine, I have grown a little weary and downright lazy when it comes to looking after my face. This might be why, when purchasing my £4 jammies from Primark a few weeks ago, I couldn't resist picking up another bargain which lay in wait beside the tills.
Primark 4 in 1 gentle facial cleansing face wipes ... a pack of 2 for £1. Now you and I both know face wipes rarely come cheap, you spend up to a fiver or more for a half decent supermarket brand so this was a bargain I couldn't resist.
I didn't think for a minute they would be of a substandard quality or full of ingredients that may strip my skin of all it's goodness. It's Primark! What was I thinking?!
Aahhh.... *shakes head, tutting at ones stupidity*
I used these for around 2 weeks solid and have suffered from full on pizza face ever since! Painful, obvious, big, red, blinding spots have crept up all over my usually clear-ish skin. Urgh.
Silly thing is it took me a fortnight to realise the source of the damage.
Now I am on a mission to 'fix my face'. I am back into a cleansing and toning routine with a bi-weekly Strivechtin facial scrub, my trusty aromatherapy associates oil slathered all over my face with a little darphin purifying balm for good measure. Keeping my fingers crossed that my skin clears up as quickly as it flared up.
Other than booking myself in for a facial (any excuse!) Does anyone have any other quick fix recommendations?
