For someone who suffers with dry skin, I have an obsession with
hydrating skincare products. I am a huge fan of the original Palmers Cocoa
Butter Formula lotion so as you could imagine, I was super excited when Palmers
offered to send me some goodies from their skincare range. So if you’re
anything like me and you’re wanting to improve dehydrated skin, then look no
further than these affordable products. Warning: You will become obsessed.
I seem to go on and on about how I don’t like using wipes for
makeup removal as I find it too harsh on my skin therefore as an alternative, I
stick to micellar waters or oil based cleansers. This is where Palmer’s UltraGentle Facial Cleansing Oil* comes in handy. I use two generous pumps of this
to massage in circular motions on a damp, makeup-caked face then I rinse thoroughly
with warm water. Despite wearing waterproof mascara, this cleanser dissolved
impurities and all traces of makeup within seconds leaving my skin feeling soft
and cleansed whilst also giving it that glorious Palmer’s Cocoa Butter smell
which I adore. This cleanser contains 8 pure oils: Apricot, Argan, Soybean,
Sesame, Sweet Almond, Grape Seed, Jojoba and Rice Bran oil. The cleanser
doesn’t leave any excess oil on the skin which is something I’m very fussy
about and it claims to be suitable for all skin types as well as safe for
sensitive skin AND it’s cruelty free!
To me, there’s nothing better than pampering your skin with a face
mask once a week and I’m pretty sure I have found my new favourite mask.
Palmer’s Purifying Enzyme Mask* helps to purify, exfoliate and smooth your
skin. I don’t know why but clay masks are my all-time favourites, I get a weird
sense of satisfaction every time I use one (is
that weird lol?). This mask uses natural Kaolin Clay which lifts out
impurities within minutes to deeply purify and cleanse the skin whilst Papaya
Enzyme gently exfoliates resulting in baby soft skin. It says you can use this
mask up to 3 times a week however I only like to use it once a week for an
extra pampering treat! You only need to apply a thin layer of this and it
completely dries in the next 10-15 minutes. You can then rinse off with warm
water to reveal your soft and cleansed skin. I loved how this mask didn’t seem
to dry my skin out any more than what it already was.
This next product is what I was most excited about trying. I’m
going to admit that I have never tried any face oils in the past purely for the
fact that most of them seem very expensive. Palmer’s Multi-Effect Perfecting Facial Oil* is on the market for just £9.99 which I think is an amazing price
considering it contains the added benefits of Retinol (Vitamin A) which is an
extremely effective ingredient that helps to visibly increases the appearance
of firmness, diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles, smooths and refines
the surface of the skin and improves uneven skin tone. It’s very hard to find a
product which contains Retinol for such an affordable price range these days! I
have seen a massive improvement with my skin right from day one. My redness has
reduced and the pores on my nose seems less noticeable. I suffer with major
smile lines around my mouth which I have always been self-conscious about
however I’ve noticed a huge improvement in which I don’t notice them as much
anymore, not forgetting to mention that my skin appears more radiant and
healthy. I use around 3-4 drop of this on my skin every night before I go to
sleep so that I give it a good amount of time for it to do its job and sink in.
Have you tried anything from Palmer’s NEW Skincare Range yet?
