GladSkin Review For Adult Acne



Since puberty really I have had spots. And I am not just talking about the odd one here and there i'm talking a full face of angry redness. When I think about Acne I think of really awful scars etc but when I took my 'before' pictures for this trial I realised bloody hell I really do have acne haha. Its pretty depressing, I cant even contemplate having a day where makeup isnt an option. 
So when a trial came up from GladSkin - I couldnt refuse. They pride themselves on their acne gel which eats all the bad bacteria off your face - which leads to the angry spots. I also have dry skin in places (T section) where I over scrub. No amount of moisturizer heals this so I opted to try their Daily Care cream too!



This is how it came, with instructions too. 
You apply the gel on your face 2-3 times a day ( I do it morning and night and extra in the day if I am having a bad skin day) and once that is dry (2-3 mins) you apply the cream over the top!
You wait for a few mins and then do your daily makeup/skin routine. 

I have used these both for a few days and noticed my skin was actually getting slightly worse - though I dont know if that's because I am coming up to my period and thats when my skin gets the worse no matter what I do. However, I have read my own reviews on this product and a lot of them say that their skin went through a bad phase but then came out good. So I am persevering haha and hoping "it has to get worse before it gets better" rings true as it is my graduation coming up!!! 

I have taken my 'before' pics (and very apprehensive about posting them as I have never noticed how ugly I am haha) and will take my 'after' pics once I have completed the trial.

UPDATED Hair Worx - Hair Growth Review

I think I may not be the only person in the world to have SUPER slow growing hair.. It has taken me approx 20 years to grow it half way down my back (3 inches past my boobs for reference) so I have been thinking about buying some hair/skin/nails style tablets. I brought some from Superdrug a few years ago and they were so huge!! probably the size of my little finger nail (I have long nails) I'm not too bad with swallowing tablets but they were unbearable and would stick down my throat so they would leave a horrible after taste. To be honest I didn't even notice much difference after the course anyway so I gave up hope. I had been thinking about taking some again as its my graduation coming up and wanted to look the best possible (my hair is awfully thin and I have slight adult acne). I was delighted to be kindly gifted these tablets by Hair Worx. I will be doing a 'before and after' post once I have finished the course of tablets as well so you can see the difference yourself :). 

I have been taking them for a week now and I can honestly say I can see a tiny bit of difference. I'm not expecting miracles as my hair isn't great anyway but I am hoping just to finally be happy with what I look like. In addition to this, my skin has also calmed down too. I know the tablets aren't specifically for skin but as the tablets are a mixture of different vitamins etc vital for hair growth which also relates to clear skin and nail growth. 
Here is where you can check them out on their website; http://www.tnhealth.co.uk/
and their Amazon link; Amazon



UPDATE

I have finally finished the course of this product! I have taken before and after photos to see if you can see the difference. I personally can - its not had a rapid growth as my hair isn't like that so it just wouldn't be possible. BUT I have noticed a change in growth as I have noticed I haven't needed a trim so often so therefore it's been getting longer because less has been taken off. Which leads me onto the saying the quality of my hair has changed, its gone from being quite coarse and dry to extremely shiny and manageable! The product is a mix of supplements to help promote healthy hair and as I am a vegetarian I dont get a lot of protein or iron (promoting strong hair) so this has really benefited me!

Between these photos I have had one hair trim (a month ago) and dyed my hair the night before!!

Fun In Blackpool!

Welcome to Blackpool..







Last Saturday, I traveled up to Blackpool with two of my best friends with the intentions of lots of chips, laughs and penny machines! We met our other best friend Abbey up there as she was moving home from Uni (preston) and we decided to help her whilst making a day of it!!
First of all we were starving so we got some chips and fish 'barms' (massive piece of fish between bread) they were so hot and crispy - so delicious!! I love seaside food, so much so that my mouth is watering and i'm going to have to go and get my tea haha... I'm back!!
We decided to go and sit on the beach to eat our food - however, we forgot the trauma of the seagulls which saw the food and went for us all! We just kept running and running - it was horrific as I hate hate hate seagulls haha but obviously absolutely hilarious to look back on!!

After that traumatic experience - we then decided we actually wanted to do something whilst we were there so we got tickets for Madame Tussauds and the Sea Life Center for only £20 which I thought was really good considering a normal ticket for one thing is £16.50! I have a feeling things in Blackpool are infamous for being tacky and rubbish? Not sure if I am right haha but this first place was definitely a mix between the two! Some were crazy good - enough to want to look into their eyes to make sure they werent real as we have all seen those celeb pranks where the people are posing and the celeb suddenly moves! However - some were completely AWFUL! not sure if they havent been updated or just genuinely bad, hence the labels underneath them all... (ps try and spot the horrendous ones!)
