Winter Skin: Purity Organic Skincare

Purity Organic Skincare: Conditioning Cleansing Lotion




I am always on the quest for new natural/organic cosmetics and beauty products so I was quite pleased when I discovered the Purity Organic Skincare Range at Superdrug.



I have added the Conditioning Cleansing Lotion (150ml, £4.99) to my winter cleansing routine to cope with the weather. The formulation is quite rich and is definitely moisturising; it also serves as a make-up remover and is fragrance free for sensitive skin. I use it in the mornings and have found it to be excellent as it is extremely gentle as well as having a slight floral fragrance.

The packaging states it is 98% natural and 83% organic and is not tested on animals.
My verdict: Very economical and excellent for all skin types.

Products I am liking: Belli Acne Clearing Facial Wash



I wanted to try a specialised acne facial wash that contained lactic acid, rather than glycolic/salicylic products which can be drying and harsh; and eventually came across Belli Acne Clearing Facial wash.
What prompted me buy this was the fact that Belli skincare is actually a specialised pregnancy line and teratology screens each ingredient to prevent the absorption of harsh chemicals linked to birth defects, furthermore every product is allergy tested and free of artificial dyes and parabens. Considering I have quite temperamental and sensitive skin at times I thought I would give this a go.
So far I have used this every night before going to bed, as well an intensive mask leaving it on my face for around 7-10minutes twice a week instead of using another exfoliating product. I have also used it as a spot treatment and left a tiny amount on the pimple, causing it to eventually dry and flake away.
My verdict: I highly recommend this to anyone who has unpredictable and breakout prone skin, as it has produced quite noticeable results for me. It also serves as an alternative to current acne facial washes that contain BHA’s (beta hydroxy acids).

I purchased Belli Acne Clearing Facial Wash (£25 + £2.20 p&p) from The Little Pear Tree - Baby Boutique:
