Oily Skin Skincare Routine

I suffer badly with oily skin and it doesn't seem to be getting better even during winter. As it's a New Year I am on a quest to achieve perfect skin this year (or at least, try my hardest) so I'm hoping these products will do the trick.

The Garnier and Simple products are pretty straightforward and self-explanatory. Two facial scrubs to help get rid of excess oils and impurities and a moisturizer to help keep the shine at bay.

Th nspa facial oil may seem odd to use when you're skin is producing too much oil. Well, I've heard from a number of sources (including my all time favourite beauty vlogger Nicole Guerriero) that applying a facial oil to already oily skin, can trick the skin into thinking it is producing too much oil. Therefore is slows down the production of natural oil. It makes sense!

Think of it this way...

If you strip your skin of all its natural oils and moisture it is going to produce more to replace the ones it has lost. 

I'm looking forward to using these, in particular the facial oil, and getting some reviews up!

Have you used any of these products before?

My Hair, Nails and Skin Holy Grail

Over the past year I've discovered a hidden gem in the he vitamin world that has helped me to improve my hair, skin and nails.
I'm in no ways being paid to write this, I just want to share something I've found that really works for me! 

Sea kelp is a supplement available from health shops like Holland and Barrett. They are tiny tablets that are branded to support weight management because they contain Iodine which is a key ingredient in any kind of fat binding or weight loss tablet.

I was recommended these on the basis of it being a vitamin for hair and nail growth no weight management and after having tried these for over 6 months I can confidently say, they do nothing to help with weight loss.

After taking these 3 times a day for at least 2 weeks I've noticed a dramatic increase in the growth of my hair and nails, especially with the latter. My nails are longer and strong than ever which I am pleased about, and my hair is growing like the clappers.
