Best Cleansers and Exfoliators

I like my cleansers how I like my men; hardworking, powerful, and gentle. Euugh, that sentence made me cringe a little! Without further ado I present to you my absolute favourite cleansing products.

Eucerin DermatoCLEAN Cleansing Gel
This mild cleanser is perfect for sensitive skin and doesn't contain any of the nasties that can often leave your skin aggravated or blotchy. This is a really simple cleanser, which I tend to use first thing in the morning to wake me up and ensure my face is throughly cleansed.

Bioderma Sensibio H20 Make-up Removing Micelle Solution
This cleansing water is phenomenal. It gets rid of every trace of makeup and doesn't leave me with an angry, red face. To go back to the awkward man analogy, this cleanser is 'the one'.

Dermalogica Daily MicroExfoliant 
I use it at night to give me that really clean feeling. I live in London and my skin often feels a little grimy, and this powder formula exfoliator leaves my skin feeling brighter and fresher after just one minute. This is quite a pricey product but it lasts a REALLY long time.

Eucerin DermoPURIFYER
This scrub lives in my shower and is my go-to product for a quick yet powerful cleanse. The range is specifically formulated for blemish prone skin so I'll reach for it when I need a dose of super effective cleansing.

Let me know if you have sensitive skin, and can recommend any good brands I should try.

Eyeing up my Brows

I have threadbare eyebrows, and that's a fact I've come to terms with. I used to pluck them into a single line of hairs then sleek Vaseline over them. Interesting.  The 'before' picture on the left shows them in all their minimal wonder. I've tried lots of options to keep them in check, and found that threading inevitably leaves me with a monobrow of pimples and waxing mostly works like a dream. 

As we're saving for a house I've taken eyebrow maintenance into my own pluck-happy hands. I'd love to be more Cara Delevingne than Cruella de Vil so I've given my tweezers an early retirement and have cracked on with dying them myself and then filling them.

I dye them with a standard dark brown dye kit from Boots. I then fill them with a shadow like Mac's Omega or Urban Decay's Naked using my Sephora Brow Filler Brush. My new favourite brow product is Makeup Forever's Brow Seal as they keep my pesky little brows in place. I haven't quite reached the dizzy heights of Cara's brows but it's a start.

Have you had any brow nightmares you'd like to share or any product recommendations? I've heard lots of good things about Anastasia Brows but I'm not sure what to try first.
