Murad Perfect Balance

A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to attend a Murad Event hosted by Dr Murad himself. It was a really informative evening and I didn't feel that Murad were just trying to push products, he stated more than once that lifestyle had a much bigger impact and was full of useful tips.

Murad's philosophy is all about 'inclusive health' making the right lifestyle choices as well as the correct skincare for your skin type will result in a better complexion.

Just in time for Christmas, Murad have released five Try Me kits each tailored for different results. I opted to try the Perfect Balance kit which aims to control oiling maintain clear pores, whilst giving the right amount of hydration. The Kit contains T-Zone Pore Refining Gel, Blemish Treatment Concealer, Oil-Control Mattifier, Hydro-Dynamic® Ultimate Moisture for Eyes.

I've been trying all of the products for a couple of weeks and so far I'm impressed, no drastic results yet, but as we found out at the event your skincare can take up to a month to show affects. I'll be reviewing the products in more depth very soon. The star of the show so far though us the eye cream, it's got the nicest texture and sits perfectly under concealer.

The Kits are available now from Murad's Website (link) and the Perfect Balance set costs £42.50 (worth £89.70)

New Additions to my Skincare Routine

La Roche Posay Micellar Solution

La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo

Elemis Fresh Skin Super Boost Moisturising Serum*

Just a few thing’s I am going to be slotting into my skincare routine. My skin has been behaving a bit weirdly lately, I’ve been having a few breakouts, along with some dry patches, and some odd reaction to something. A very lovely sight!

I bought the Miccellar Solution as I have heard a lot about Bioderma, and as it’s so hard to get here, I thought this would make a good alternative. I used it to remove my make – up last night and was amaed at how quickly and gently it got rid of it all! A brilliant alternative for people who are addicted to face wipes! It costs £11.50 for 200ml.

The Effaclar Duo is a hard one to describe, I will be using it implace of moisturiser in the morning, and it contains AHA/BHA’s to help clear pores, and calm breakouts. I’ve got high hopes for this and hopefully I will see some good results! It costs £13.50 for 40ml.

I was sent the Elemis Super  Boost Serum* and will be using it at night under my moisturiser, I have used it a couple of times so far and it feels gorgeous on the skin. Really moisturising, but not greasy and sinks in quickly. A great moisture boost for younger women with dehydrated skin.

I’ll be doing an updated skin care routine in a few weeks, when  I have had a really chance to test these products and settle into a real routine! In the mean time look out for a few more ‘Dealing with Acne’ posts, as I will be posting one on Exfoliating and Cleansing very soon!

 

Disclosure: The Elemis Serum was sent for my consideration by PR.
