Review on a skin saviour - Crystal Clear + OOTD

Crystal Clear Deep Cleanse Gel

Hello there!

I thought I would do a review on a product that I can truely say has worked wonders for me.

I had been suffering with bad skin, mainly on my forehead (T-zone) for a number of months and I couldn't seem to find anything that helped. I tried a number of face washes and moisturisers from Boots/Superdrug. I also tried for several months Pro-activ, I didn't think it helped at all. In fact I am pretty sure it irritated my skin even more. I would defienitly not recommend that! A complete waste of money.

For some people it's hard to describe why it is so difficult to find the right products for your skin. Other's have also said to me -

 "Why don't you stop wearing your make-up as it's making your skin worse"

It's this cycle you get stuck in, well it is for me anyway.

1: You have bad skin - and the one thing you want to do is hide it.
2: You cover with foundation/concealer/powder - Locking it all in.
3: This makes your skin worse

Many would say - Don't be so vain! Nobody cares!
But you feel so self consious when you have bad skin.
I do have make-up free days, Sundays mostly when I'm being very lazy doing nothing.



I was recommended the deep cleansing gel by my beauty therapist.  I was a little sceptical about buying this as nothing else had worked for me. It was £20.00, however when I looked online at the Crystal Clear website it was £27.00. So you may find prices vary.
It came in a proffesional looking box, with a guide book/leaflet inside. The bottle itself is a good size -200ml, it fits perfectly in my washbag for when I go away. The other thing about this bottle is it has a pump, which I find much easier to use.

That same day, I went home and used it. I first removed my make up - it also says you can remove your make up with it! I will have to try that. I pumped a small-ish amount onto my hands and rubbed them together. This facewash is soap-free so you can't make much foam with it. I rubbed this all over my face, in circular motions. Focusing mostly on my forehead and nose, I left for about 30 seconds before rinsing with luke warm water.
Instantly my skin felt better.

Would I recommend? ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
That's a YES!


I have now been using this for about 3 weeks. I can honestly say that my skin has been so much better. I don't have to wear make-up all the time to cover up!  I would say if I carried on using this for 1-2 months my skin would be back to how it used to be.

I feel so much happier ♥ 

I hope that at least one person who is in the same situation as I used to be read's this,
and that it possibly help!

It's worth a try (:

I also just wanted to put a OOTD from a few weekends ago.
I went to my boyfriend's aunt's 60th birthday party/40th wedding anniversary.
We stayed in a cute little cottage/hotel near Evesham.
The hotel garden looked right onto the River Avon.


I really struggled over finding something smart/casual to wear, but did my best.




My jeans were Topshop - (Not the exact ones but the closest too)http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=1&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=4629960&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=208527&parent_categoryId=203984&pageSize=20&refinements=category~[330510|208527]&noOfRefinements=1

My top was also Topshop - I would say go down in a size as it is very big!http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=101&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=6422043&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=230160&parent_categoryId=203984&pageSize=20

My shoes were also Topshop but in the sale for £10.00.
But I don't think they have them anymore ):
I had a black blazer but it had been such a beautiful weekend I didn't need it!

I found the chunky coral bracelet in H&M on a mad dash to try and find something quickly.

I kept my make-up fairly simple, and had my hair in a rather large beehive..
I didnt realise quite how large it was!

Hope you liked this blog! I will be doing another couple of blogs about a few trips to London coming up in October.


Thanks again for reading,

If there is something you don't think I have covered leave me a question..
