Recently, I've been really into taking good care of my skin, after having a long period of seriously neglecting it - and then suffering the consequences. Purchasing good quality skin care is definitely important, and one can never have too many face and body products to chose from! So with that mind set, I set out and have collected a whole new selection of skin care these past couple of weeks.

A lot of people - my best friend included - have told me that they don't much rate Simple products. However, from being a really young teenager, Simple has been my skin care go-to brand, and I've personally never suffered with any problems as a result of using their products. I find that they are exactly what they say on the packaging; 'kind to skin'. I've always had really sensitive skin, and for the most part, my skin has always been on the drier side, and despite these major flaws in my skin type, Simple products have definitely always been kind to my skin, and really sorted out my skin when I've taken enough care to use their products correctly and regularly.

Okay so I know that many people frown upon those of us that use make-up wipes , and admittedly, rightly so. Unfortunately, if you're like me, and your skin is super fragile, then trying to scrub your make-up off with a cleanser, toner, balm or whatever is certainly not ideal. So, as a result of having terribly sensitive skin, I've had no choice but to go down the make-up wipe road, which is a decision I can't say I've come to regret. I'm sure everyone has realised that make-up wipes aren't designed for taking off the kind of radical eye make-up that I wear on a day to day basis, and so to tackle that issue, I begin by taking off my eye makeup with a bit of this amazing Simple eye make-up remover dabbed on to a cotton pad. One swipe, and eyeliner, eyeshaddow, and even mascara is pretty much wiped fully off - I most definitely recommend this product. Although (and I don't know if it's a result of having horribly sensitive everythings) I have found that using too much of this product can give me terribly dry eyes. But, despite that one drawback, I'd say this is a quality product, that's extremely affordable compared to other products of it's kind. Then, I use the Simple Kind to Skin Cleansing Facial Wipes to tackle the rest of the make-up left on my face. Now, I'm almost completely sure you've heard of this product before with the likes of Zoella featuring this product in a few of her latest videos, and it is the Simple Kind to Skin Moisturising Facial Wash. After using the Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Daily Scrub for so long and seeing no visible change in the way my skin looked, I switched to this product and I'm glad that I did. Despite the fact that (sadly) it didn't miraculously clear my skin up, I did see a slightly more noticeable change than  previously had by using the Neutrogena product (though I'm by no means saying it was completely useless). This face wash is definitely suitable with those of us who are prone to dry skin, and surprisingly this wash doesn't make my skin feel as tight after using it compared to millions of other facial washes that I've used prior to it. This wash makes my skin feel squeaky clean and less gross than it does when you've had a face full of make-up on all day - so I'd certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a cheap and effective face wash.

I'm not going to go into as much detail with these next few products, but that doesn't mean I love them any less. I'm not usually drawn to more fresh scents - usually the products that tend to draw me in are more sweet or fruity smelling scents, but I'm addicted to the smell of these Soap and Glory purchases. The Butter Yourself lotion is surprisingly moisturising and has a long lingering scent, which really surprised me with its quality due to it being a drugstore product. I especially love the body scrub in this set, which is probably one of the best scrubs I've ever used, which is hard for me to say after I loved Soap and Glory's previous Scrub of Your Life a whole lot. After using this, your sin feels as smooth as a dolphin's and ready to be washed with the delicious Foam Call body wash. I haven't yet tried the hand mask/cream, but I'm sure it'll be an excellent product, and I'll be sure to let you know what I think of it!
