REVIEW: IS CLEAN & CLEAR A GOOD ACNE MOISTURISER?

I'm not usually a fan of high-street acne treatments. A lot of the time, they don't work for acne prone skin and they can often make it worse. However, I was looking for a new moisturiser and I was recommended to try Clean & Clear's Dual Action Moisturiser, and I was not disappointed.

For a start, this moisturiser is oil-free, and that's what you want from a moisturiser, because the oils in them can often clog up your pores and do more damage than good.

It claims to relieve dry skin and combat acne at the same time.

REVIEW: ILLAMASQUA MATTE PRIMER

So this Primer is a little pricey (for a primer), but after Michael James recommended it, I had to try it! I managed to pick this primer up through Asos.com (huge shoutout to the great guys over at Asos) for around £19.

I just want to say, this is probably the best primer I have ever tired, and works AMAZING for my skin. So the concept of this primer is that is keeps your face matte throughout the day, underneath make-up whilst doing all the other things primers do (evening out skin tone, filling in pores, making make up look more flawless) and it does them all brilliantly.

MAY P.O.T.M: MAX FACTOR SMOOTH EFFECT FOUNDATION (WIN!)

Welcome to the new Product Of The Month feature (stay tuned till the end of the article to find out how you can WIN THIS PRODUCT in whatever shade you desire). We're kicking of May's product of the month with a product that I have been using a lot of recently, and that's Max Factor's new Smooth Effect Foundation.

This light and delicate foundation is great for everyday use and wears well for long periods of time. It looks smooth, has a nice light coverage (not too heavy, and not thick enough to cover blemishes).

REVIEW: PERFECT FOR DRYING OUT ACNE: PANOXYL 10% ACNE GEL

Anyone who suffers from acne knows how much of a constant pain it is. There are so many products out there, a lot of which just don't work. With acne, you want something that works fast that gets rids of spots the minute they start to come up, and I've found the perfect product!

First of all, you need to make sure you're on some medication for the acne, because it needs to be treated from within. However, whilst your on medication, it can take months to even make a tiny difference, so you still need to be battling those spots on a daily basis.

REVIEW: NIVEA VISAGE ANTI-WRINKLE Q10 DAY CREAM

I'm an 18 year old and I use anti-wrinkle cream. Why? The younger you start, the better your skin will be in the future (so I hope). It is called Anti-Wrinkle cream after all, and we all know that prevention is better than cure.

There are a lot of day creams out there on the market, at a lot of different prices, but my favourite has to be Nivea Visage's Anti-Wrinkle Q10 day cream and it's affordable, at around £10.

My problem with a lot of day creams, is they can be heavy, greasy and you can really feel them on your

REVIEW: IS CETAPHIL THE MIRACLE ACNE MOISTURISER?

For people with acne prone skin, finding the perfect moisturiser is one of the hardest things. So many moisturisers aren't good for our skin, because they contain perfumes, harsh chemicals and colours.

There was a lot of hype around Cetaphil online, with people saying it was the perfect thing for people with sensitive, dry and acne prone skin because it was free from perfume and claimed to rehydrate dry, damaged and sensitive skin.

Even my Doctor recommended it, and had a little stand with leaflets from all the products in his office.

REVIEW: DOES BAREMINERALS MAKEUP REALLY WORK?

I'm sure you will have heard of BareMinerals make up. It's the make up that claims to be better for your skin, gives you flawless coverage with a natural finish.

Being a self-conscious male, and not having the best skin in the world means I like to turn to makeup to help make my skin look healthier and hide redness and imperfections. It's not the 'norm' for guys to openly wear make up (even though 99% of the guys on TV will have been sat in a make up chair for at least an hour), so I like it to look natural, almost as if I'm not wearing any, and it's very hard to achieve that look.
