The Skin Saviour
I was having a pretty horrid time with my skin for what felt like a couple of years. Nothing had been working to clear the constant array of spots that were developing on and around my chin (my chin has always been my issue area), and although you're told your skin will clear once your teenage years are behind you, my skin was doing the opposite. It was infuriating and confidence bashing!
I normally spend ages researching and reading reviews on products before I buy them, but after reading a few rave reviews, I bought the Pixi Glow Tonic from ASOS (no surprises there), slightly on a whim. I wasn't expecting miracles but I was wrong. After only a couple of days, my spots were clearing and my scars fading! Scaring is one of the worst aspects of having spots for me! I didn't want to get my hopes up too much though, as the time of the month was approaching and this plays havoc on my skin. However to my surprise, nothing! This has continued until now, barely having a spot in 4 months. If I have had a spot, its been small and has cleared up within a couple of days instead of the huge underneath the skin spots that I used to get, that would seemingly last for weeks.
It has been so nice not wearing as much foundation and concealer, or worrying about my makeup wearing off and revealing spots. I generally use this once a day, at night, however if i do feel a spot developing I sometimes apply both morning and night.
I just hope this product continues to work its magic on my skin as it really has been my skin saviour up to now! The 250ml bottle costs £18.
Have you tried the Pixi Glow Tonic? What are your skin saviours?

St Tropez In Shower Gradual Tan
My lowdown;
It's definitely a gradual tan and only adds a hint of colour with one application however after 2-3 applications over a few days it builds to a darker yet still natural looking tan. Even with a mitt, i still sometimes get the occasional streak however the times i've used this there has been no streaks, no lines, nothing! Which is probably what i like most about it. It's easy to apply, it just feels like your putting on a normal body wash and doesn't really have much of a smell.
The downsides are it really is a gradual tan, no good for anyone wanting an instant hit of colour. Although application is easy, it is also strange. The first time i used it i kept the shower running and stood in the corner as my shower is big enough for that however i felt like it was a waste of water. Turning the shower off as suggested on the bottle, you have the problem of being cold for 3 minutes. There is also the issue of knowing when 3 minutes is up, i resulted to counting in my head haha. Although it doesn't sound like a long time, it does go a lot slower when your stood there.
Despite that, overall i do like it and i can bear standing in the cold for 3 awkward minutes for a easy, streak free, natural looking tan.
Have you tried it yet? What do you think?
