Skincare Haul & Cleanser Review

So, I've been on a mission to find a cleanser and moisturiser.

I went out almost 2 weeks ago, just after getting my Mia2, and bought a couple of contenders.

The first was Soap & Glory Peaches & Clean, which is £7 for 200ml. First impression, this smells just like peaches, with a hint of mint. It leaves my skin feeling soft, not tight at all and very clean. I didn't really research the purchase, just went with what I read on the bottle. Research seems to say this cleanser is good for skin that tends towards being oilier, which is not me, but I have had good results with periodic use.

I also bought Good Things  Fresh Start Creamy Cleanser. This is lovely, very creamy and the texture is gorgoues but I think it's more aimed at younger skin, I'd say teens to early twenties. I love the feel and semll but I don't think it hs the moisture need for skin more mature (god I hate to describe myself as "more mature").

I also got Good Things Stay Clear for my daughterk how is 8 but already experiencing blackheads and the beginnings of breakouts (much more than I would like to believe at her age to be honest) and her skin seems to be more like a teenagers. The results are fantastic, her pores are clearing with nothing but using this product.

I also bought Good Things 5 Minute Facial. I've only tried this once and it initially felt quite moisturising but 5/10 minutes after rinsing I could feel my skin tightening, a sure sign of dryness.

Overall, I think for people in their teens/early 20's Good Things is a great range, just not for me. The texture of the products I have tried so far is gorgeous, the smell is quite faint but the results are great for the age range they aim at.

So far, my favourite cleanser/facewash is Benefit B.right but Soap & Glory is a close second.

I will do a post soon on the various cleansers I have tried with the Mia 2 and also to update on my progress with the Mia 2.

Let me know your thoughts on the best cleansers, the Mia 2 and anything else that takes your fancy!

Love you x
