I'm really into my skincare at the moment and I'm really enjoying trying new products that will help improve the condition and appearance of my skin. But it got me thinking more about my skin type and what products are actually aimed at me. We all have different skin types and everyone's skin has different needs. But do you know which cleanser is right for your skin?

If you have dry skin, you will be used to sore, dry and flaking skin. Your pores will be small and you'll be more prone to dullness. When it comes to picking the perfect cleanser for dry skin, it is essential that you find one that is going to be soothing and moisturising. 

The best type of cleansers for dry skin include cream based cleansers which work amazingly well for those with very dry skin. Some of my favourite cream based cleansers are the Liz Earle Hot Cloth cleanser and the No7 Soothed and Gentle cleanser. If you wear a lot of makeup on a daily basis, then an oil based cleanser can be a great option for you. Balms are also great for those with dry skin as they're so soothing and gentle. 

It is best to avoid foam cleansers if you have dry skin because they can be too harsh and strip the skin of all it's natural goodness, which can end up leaving your skin feeling and looking more dry than before. 

Sensitive skin

The cleansers that will aggravate sensitive skin are those that include harsh chemicals like fragrance, alcohol, mineral oils and paraffin oils. Foaming cleansers also must be avoided because they have the tendency to strip the skin, which can end up leaving it dry and irritated. 

Because sensitive skin types can suffer with any of the other skin types such as dry, oil, combination, or dehydrated, it can be hard to find the best cleanser that will work for your sensitive skin needs. The safe options to go for include cream or balm based cleansers that you can use with a cloth for extra soothing.

Oily skin

I never really noticed a lot of changes in my skin between the seasons until the past few months. This winter my skin has suffered with the cold weather, blowing my nose constantly during a heavy cold, constant hand washing during illnesses and a lack of care from being so busy with the Christmas period. I've really had to up my skincare the past few weeks to combat my tired, dry and dehydrated skin. I wanted to share with you some of the products I've been loving and have been using in my routine recently.

There are so many different spot treatments and products within the beauty market, all claiming to do different things for your skin whilst still keeping the one aim to get rid of those annoying spots that just won't seem to budge. I've tried many treatments over the years to get rid of hormonal breakouts I suffer with usually on my chin, but what also sometimes crop up on my cheeks or forehead when I'm stressed. Some have worked well, others not so much. But one I'll always go back to was just sat in my bathroom cabinet, a product I've been familiar with since I was younger and one my family always ensure we have somewhere in the house.

The one product I'm talking about is famously used for things like nappy rash, eczema, sunburn and minor burns, due to it being an antiseptic based cream. Sudo Crem is the one product I'm going on about and the one product I'll never stop using. I love using it treat acne. It literally works miracles on my skin. And whenever someone has an annoying spot or has a terrible break out, I'm always recommending them to put on some Sudo Crem and watch it just disappear in a matter of a couple of days.  

What I love the most about Sudo Crem is that you're not limited the amount of times you can put it on during the day. Of course don't put it on every single hour, but reapplying every few hours is totally fine and I have slept in Sudo Crem plenty of times before, as it's just easier since you don't have to leave the house with white patches on your face and can keep it on for a good period of time. 

The reason why Sudo Crem is so good for treating spots is because it works on reducing and healing angry red swollen spots. With the help of the antiseptic parts of the cream, your spots after one use of the cream reduce in redness and size. I always feel like mine almost shrink and shrivel up after using this. Come the second use of Sudo Crem, I then notice a significant reduction in the spot size and also the appearance, with them almost close to healing. I then either apply another amount for a third time or leave it to go away on its own naturally, which also works just as well since the redness and swollen look has completely gone.

What's also a massive seller for me is that Sudo Crem really helps to avoid your spots scarring or leaving any marks on your skin of where your spots once where. For me this is a massive pet hate when my spots scarre, as they are such a pain to get rid of and I've tried everything to try stop it. Sudo Crem is the only thing that helps to heal them properly and return my skin back to normal. 

The cream is also good for any dry skin suffers out there. The cream will help to get rid of any dry patches or flakey skin by calming it down and soothing the affected area. My cream always feels quite cool when I apply it onto the skin, just by keeping it in my cupboard. This can make it super soothing on the face, especially if you have any sore dry patches. The smell also plays a role in why it is so calming as it is thought to have lavender inside, which we all know is a calming and relaxing scent. 

For me Sudo Crem is super underrated when it comes to skincare and I always feel like it's one that is forgotten about in the beauty world because it is aimed more at babies and younger children. But the reality is that it works for so many different things. It's quick and convenient to use. You do not need to apply many amounts of it to achieve the results you want, which of course is an acne free skin. It's also so reasonable priced against other acne treatments, that you can end up spending a fortune on in one go, let alone when you need to repurchase, and they probably do not even work as well as the easy option that comes with using Sudo Crem. 

Sudo Crem is the one spot treatment I'll never stop using!

When it comes to skincare, I'm all for affordability because testing out new products to find the perfect ones to suit your skin can wrack up quite an expense if you're not careful. That's why T-Zone's new bamboo and charcoal range is the skincare brand you need to try to combat oily skin and any stubborn blemishes you want to get rid of. We all know how beneficial charcoal ingredients have on our skin due to the high surface area it contains which helps with absorption. The bamboo and charcoal range aims to use its ingredients to draw out impurities, absorb excess oil and dirt that can be found in our pores to make way for clearer and healthier skin. The past few weeks I've been testing out a few products from T-zones new range and just know that they are perfect any oily skin sufferers...
