Oily skin sufferer? Here's some products you might want to try....


BOTANICS | Sensitive/Oily - Cleansing Mousse (available from Boots RRP £4.07)
Pump action all the way! 2/3 pumps of this product will be plenty to cut through daily oil and grim. Light texture and very lightly fragranced, this is a great cleanser that doesn't leave your face feeling tight or itchy. Best used directly with hands and doesn't require an entire 'regime' to use. Packing is simplistic and the pump extends to the bottom so there's very little wasting of the product. The only downside is you may need to repeat cleansing twice if you  have a lot of product to wash off. Soap free and has sweet gale/anti bacterial - particularly kind to problem skin with spots and blemishes. **** out of ***** stars from me!

St Ives | Naturally Clear Apricot Scrub (available from Boots/Superdrug)
Oil free facial scrub, ideal for those with sensitive or oily skin. Helps prevent blackheads and blemishes... what's so unique? it does exactly as distribed on the tube. Great to alternate with another daily cleanser.  Great smelling product, not overpowering or highly perfumed, only needs a small amount to work into the face. Apply to dry skin for a really deep scrub although not recommended on a daily basis as slightly abrasive. Great for all skin types.  . Have used on neck/chest area which works a treat.  New packaging is eye catchy although retains water in the lid if you are a shower user!  **** out of ***** stars.

Good Things 'Miracle Matifier' available from Boots RRP £9.00
As the name suggests it is a "good thing" and it certainly matifies! The delicious smell will follow you all day! The divine blackberry and Gojiberry help absorb excess oil leaving your skin feeling moisturised, smooth and shine free. Works great with all types of foundations that i've tried (and there's a few!). This is animal free product and suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Can't fault this product.... you will absolutely see and feel immediate results! **** out of ***** stars.
