There's nothing quite like beauty treatments when feeling sore and rough. 

I was on a Police Academy binge as I felt like something silly and humorous to take me away from the stress, stress and more stress.

It really hit the spot and now that all my pampering products have arrived, I'm having a great time sampling them and writing reviews.

That's not work to me. I like helping other people decide if it's suitable for them.

If you have any other questions just pop them below, I just don't do before and after photographs.

On to the Creightons Vitamins C Superfruits face wash. It came out as a dense, clear (how dull), liquid. 

I didn't get any scent from opening the cap, as I mentioned in an earlier post but when I started using it, the whole room filled with a delicious citrusy fragrance.

I loved it. What a wonderful thing to wake up too. It flowed out simply and wasn't really foamy but I think on the brush, it will be.

I will just have to spin it for a while. I did intend to use it with the brush but the battery died.

That always happens but the brush is charged now, although I want to finish the other type before I try it out.

I'll just update or put the results in a separate post. Applying it, it didn't feel heavy on my face.

I avoid the cream ones as my face screams I can't breathe get this muck off.

My face feels soft and polished. As I stated I wouldn't see the need to apply a moisturiser afterwards but that is a personal preference.

My face is glowing, that's quite an achievement, without makeup, just my trusty face brush.

It didn't prevent or totally remove the pimples I had on my face but it somewhat diminished them. It's a gentle cleanser.

I recommend it for the scent alone. It does function well but there are probably better ones out there, that really clean below the surface.

#BlogLife293 - Creightons fruity face wash

My other supply finished yesterday and so I started with the Creighton's Grapefruit face wash.

It's 150ml with cute pink packaging and I paid £3.15 for it. The going price seems to be about £2.

The colour is sheer which I always feel is disappointing when the packaging is so bright and playful.

It's a gel like substance, thickish and when first applied has a strong sweet grapefruit scent which I find invigorating in the mornings.

As soon as you wash it off though, I don't really sense it on my skin, maybe faintly but it quickly wears away, which is a shame.

I did have some hormone related pimples flare up, prior to sampling this and now looking at my face in the mirror, my complexion is mostly clear.

It didn't prevent more blemishes from popping up though. I find the hormonal acne is the hardest to prevent.

My skin doesn't have any dry patches after using it and although it took ages, it does foam up on my face brush.

I'm not sure why it takes so long though, that was a bit annoying because I don't spend ages with the brush, I just go a few rounds and then stop.

Ahh I just read the description. The grapefruit possesses a natural salicylic acid which is the ingredient that fights against acne and oily skin.

No wonder I see it in so many brands. It is something that I used to look for in my skin care purchases but now I don't browse as much, I have to be less picky.

I recommend it because my face is heavily moisturised but it doesn't feel heavy just coated and soft.

Now this morning, I don't feel greasy but baby soft skin and youthful.
