A Fresh Faced April | Elizabeth Arden

Hello everyone! So, I thought I'd up my skincare game because because my skin has absolutely hated me these past months, I've never had to worry about spots, dry skin, oily skin and redness but recently I've had all of those problems so thank you skin, thank you very much! Therefore I thought I'd take extra good care of my skin so I delved into the world of Elizabeth Arden and I'm in so deep I don't think I'll be coming back any time soon.




Skin Balancing Toner 


If you have combination skin like I do it's really important to use a toner which is alcohol free because the alcohol can really dry out your skin and prevents the balancing factors that your skin needs. I feel this toner really gives my skin the right amount that it needs. This toner works over time to really help with oily skin problems, the result is clean skin that feels soft, soothed and refreshed, I use this toner after I have cleansed with my Elizabeth Arden cleanser and it's important to use this daily as part of your regime to notice a difference in your skin. I do feel a very light stinging every time I use this but I take that as it's working because it's reduced the redness which I especially had on my cheeks so much.

Optimising skin serum 

This product is used to improve skins clarity and tone, I like to apply this before my lotion and I feel that it really absorbs into the skin because it's very light and a little really goes a long way. This product uses a retinyl complex which gently helps to retexturise the skin which I feel has drastically helped in making my skin look a lot more healthy and glowing. After using these products for almost 2 months my skin feels a lot softer and the dry patches and redness I found that my skin was very blotchy and red and since using these that has calmed down drastically.

Skin Balancing Lotion
Firstly I love how light this lotion is, it's very easy to absorb into the skin and a little goes a long way. The scent is cucumber which makes it really refreshing on the face. Because this lotion is oil free it's great for my combination skin. It contains botanical extracts which really help to keep the skin hydrated which is something my skin seriously lacked, also because it's very hydrated I feel it's really reversed the dryness of my skin and it's a lot more smooth and soft than before I was using this product which is a plus. This is definitely a winner in my eyes.




Skin Balancing Exfoliating Cleanser 
My favourite product has to be this skin balancing exfoliating cleaner by far! This has to be the best exfoliater I have ever used, there are bead in the product and I love products with beads in however sometimes I find them too harsh or scratchy but with this product they're very gentle and smooth on the skin when rubbing it in. I found after using it my skin felt revitalised and healthy throughout the day. I feel the micro beads also help to really remove the dead skin and all the dirt that has built up on my face. 

 Elizabeth Arden now has to be by far my favourite skin care range and after using these products for around 2 and a half months now the appearance of my skin has improved so much so I really recommend these products. Firstly I'll use the toner, then the exfoliating cleanser, then the optimising skin serum and lastly the skin balancing lotion and I do this regime morning and night as I feel that's the best for me and so far it's really improved my skin. What Elizabeth Arden products would you recommend?
