First up is the famous Pixi Glow Tonic (Click here to buy!). I first heard about this acid exfoliator from the amazing Caroline Hirons (Click here to view her blog!). I really liked the sound of acid toning as an alternative to exfoliating with beaded cleansers. I also thought that the acids would help my spot prone skin. Then, for Christmas I got given the Clinique Clarifying Lotion which I mistook for an acid toner. In fact it doesn't have any skin beneficial acids in the ingredients (as far as I can see) and has a high alcohol content. I have heard that alcohol is not good for teenage skin so as soon as I found this out, I stopped using it and purchased the Pixi Glow! I have seen a big difference in my skin; I don't get so many blemishes anymore and when I do, they don't look so raw and heal much quicker. I have even noticed a fading of my blemish scars since using this. My skin looks A LOT healthier and my complexion is in better condition as it is radiant and more even. I don't feel the tingle like I used to with my Clinique one but I am definitely seeing a difference so I know that it is working!
This next one is the Neal's Yard White Tea Facial Mist (Click here to buy!) and it is a re-purchase. I first discovered this at a Neal's Yard party and absolutely fell in love with the scent. It is so refreshing and calming. I use this in the evening to help me sleep and sometimes during the day to stop my skin from drying out. I use it after I have toned with my Pixi Glow Tonic give my skin a boost of hydration. It also has antioxidants which my skin loves. At £11 I don't think that it is too expensive but feels really luxurious to use.
When I went for my Clinique skincare skin consultation, the lady recommended the Moisture Surge (Click here to buy!) to me to help with my dehydration. I was originally put off by the price, but my lovely Ouma surprised me at the airport before our holiday and bought it for me. It is a very thin consistency so you only need a pinkie-finger- scoop for the whole face. It feels so thirst-quenching on the skin and makes my complexion look perkier in the morning. It is also a really versatile product because you can use it under or over make-up.
In my opinion, all three of these higher end products are totally worth the money. All of them are part of my evening skincare routine if I am going 'all out' and I can definitely see and feel a difference in the morning.
Thank you so much for reading! What higher-end skincare products do you think are worth the price?
