Witch Skincare | Review

I've been a massive fan of Witch for years now, I was first introduced to them roughly 5 or 6 years ago as I'd been complaining about having horrific breakouts to a friend of mine, so they recommended that I try them out because their products contain witch hazel which is well know for fighting blemishes. I honestly haven't looked back since, I've tried other brands but nothing has come close.

Witch Blemish Stick | £2.59 Boots
I have re-bought this little stick countless number of times now, it was one of the first products I bought from Witch! You know when a spot hasn't quite developed but it's so...angry, and it irritates the skin and becomes quite painful because of that? Well I can't recommend this more! It does tingle which makes it very tempting to itch at, but it will help the spot go down quicker. 

Witch Concealer | £3.79 Boots
This is another product I've bought a few times before. It's quite a strong concealer and helps reduce the apperance of spots rather well! I tend to use it twice, once before my foundation and once afterwards. I do this as the concealer has ingredients that help fight spots as well as hiding up the redness, it'd be a waste if it was just applied on top of foundation like I usually do! I would never use this concealer for anything other than a spot though, because it's a spot fighting product it is quite drying to the skin, not something you want to be using for your under eyes.

Witch Cleansing and Toning Wipes | £2.99 Superdrug
I used to use make up removing wipes daily, but after discovering that they can be bad for your skin if not washed off properly I started to use micellar water. But let's be honest, when you've gone for a night out and you get home, us girls will still have skincare in the back of our minds and wipes are the quickest and easiest thing for us when we're being lazy and just want to get into bed. They remove make up easily, mascara takes a bit longer to get off but I think that's the case for most make up removers. These are perfect to combat your spots whilst removing your make up, especially if you're in a rush, having a lazy day, or even travelling. 

Witch Overnight Clearing Serum | £5.99 Boots
As I mentioned earlier on, spot fighting products are usually quite drying for the skin, but not this one. Not only does this minimise blemishes, reduce redness and prevent future breakouts, it also leaves your skin feeling incredibly soft from the added Vitamin B3. My skin has been alright lately so I can't comment on the blemish reducing side of things yet (touch wood), but maybe this is why I haven't had any unwanted spots - who knows! Either way, my skin absorbs the serum pretty fast and feels so incredibly soft when I've woken up even from the first use.

Witch Hazel Bursting Beads Face Wash | £3.99 Superdrug
I've used face washes by other spot fighting brands and I haven't liked them to say the least. They tend to make my skin feel dry, tight and just really horrible. But desperate times call for desperate measures and all that! So I try to avoid them unless my skin has gotten bad. But this one actually leaves my skin feeling refreshed and soft which is such a nice feeling! Making it perfect for everyday use.

My Rodial Glamtox Routine

As a person who loves all things makeup, you would think I would be high up on my skin care... Shamefully, I'm not. But the past month I have been determined to change that! One of the brands I tried to up my skincare game with is Rodial, who are a brand that I've heard so much about but never had the chance to try them out for myself, so I was extremely excited when I was given the chance to try out some of their products from their 'Glamtox' range...

Step 1:
Once I've woken up, I'll wash my face (to rid any makeup I might have missed the night before) then brush my teeth etc. Then when my face has dried I use the Serum (£59). I was kind of wary at first because I've used so many hair serums where if you use too much you end up with greasy hair, so the thought of a greasy face really didn't appeal to me. But I was pleasantly surprised, my skin absorbs the serum quickly, no sticky or greasy residue left behind and it leaves my skin feeling ever so soft.

Step 2:
Once the serum has absorbed into my skin I then use the Day Cream (£75) over the top for extra moisturising effects. Both the day and eye creams have SPF 15, which is really useful for the up-coming summer months!

Step 3:
I then rub in the Eye Cream (£50) using my little finger in circular motions to help tackle my dark under eye circles. Dark under eye circles is something I am REALLY paranoid about, I don't know why but I try to focus on them a lot in both my skincare and make up routines.

Step 4:
I then proceed to apply my makeup as usual!

Since starting my glamtox, I have noticed great changes to my skin, it has never felt this soft in my life, it feels like a baby's bottom! The one big change I've noticed is the pesky dry patch of skin I had on my face seems to have cleared up greatly too, still a bit dryer than the rest but I think with continuous use of this product it will definitely clear up. However since I am only 20 years old, I cannot really comment on the anti ageing/wrinke side of things yet, but it has definitely made a difference on my dark under eye circle and the hydration works a dream, I am still so impressed with how soft my skin is!

Have you tried anything from Rodial? If you would like to see more of their Glamtox range you can find it here.
