So 2 weeks ago I was having a wander in Boots and found myself being intrigued by the 'Botanics' skincare range by Boots. I decided to buy the 'Mattifying Cleansing Mousse Shine Away' & the 'Mattifying Gel-Cream Shine Away' from the 'willow bark' collection.. (don't ask) for oily/combo skin but they do also have a purely combination range too, if you don't suffer from oily skin! I don't have a clue what the 'mattifying' part implies, but neither products have a matte texture! Actually I've just read the back of the bottle & it says that the 'willow bark' acts as a clarifier and "helps to unclog your pores, refine skin texture & actively target imperfections.." Ooooh!
The cleanser is actually a foam which I really love because it's just so easy to apply and wash off! It says that it "cleanses, clarifies and reduces excess oil." I have been using the cleanser, then a toner (not of the Botanics range.. my favourite toner is the Garnier Refreshing Toner) followed by the Botanics gel-cream moisturizer! I am really happy with this product because it is very liquidy (not even a word..) & easily soaks into the skin and dries very quickly!
I have been repeating this routine on my skin every morning and evening now for 2 weeks & I am MORE than pleased with the results! ..I suffer from quite an oily T-zone and these products combined have worked wonders! My skin is so smooth and not at all oily! I feel revitalized after every use.. Although the one thing I would say is that after the first use I thought my face felt a little stiffer and more tight, but after the second use I didn't notice it again!
Overall I am really pleased with these 2 products and will continue using them in the near future!
Enjoy, Lottie xxx
